If I were a student, I'd be left unconvinced about the explanation. First of all, I'd have to see What happens with a positively charged object instead. Then I'd simply demand to see what happens if the water is coming from a glass container!!! -- This, because then we'd see if water from the tap is bending only because it got positively charged by the grounded faucet. Yes, you said water doesn't conduct, and this would settle this, too. When I used to teach things, I always tried to see the lecture from the eyes and mind of my students. While some are content with just believing and learning by heart, your real target are those that want to actually understand. They are the real target audience.
These are all great points! Our quick quizzes are designed to be used by teachers to foster dialogue in the classroom. Ideally students will ask some of the great follow ups you mention here.
I am very happy that I found your channel, it is simply amazing ❤ If you have any videos about capacitive coupling I am all ears and eyes but anything you want to share is highly appreciated.
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed. We upload a new Quick Quiz every Friday and will be creating a lot of longer form content this year as well. Be sure to subscribe and check out our website to stay up to date!
@@idealizedscienceI have subscribed straight away, I love to learn all the time and I like to make useful applications based on what I learn when I can.
Good one. Ahh, but my question would be: how do we know, a priori, that carpet + friction + PVC adds electrons to the surface of the rod vs subtracting electrons?
That’s a great question! Earlier in the course we introduce the so-called triboelectric series which orders materials based on how likely they are to gain/lose electrons when rubbed together. We are currently uploading content in a somewhat random fashion but are, in the background, synthesizing it into a free open online course on understanding electricity. There, the viewer will see the triboelectric series before this quick quiz. If you’re interested, be sure to subscribe and/or sign up for the newsletter on our website to stay up to date as this content is developed!
After I have given plenty time for info to sink deep in my mind in such educative and simple demo I may rise some points that can be further discuss to get a better understanding of electricity. If just electric charges can defy or distort the gravity it means the gravity is in fact an effect of electric flow ? If this is true, it means we are wrongly looking for “antigravity” in terms of magnetism which magnetism is another effect of an electric flow in dipolar alloys and we should look up for “polarity” of fields with great potential difference ?
Happy to learn, thank you.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
