      I am an engineer, but I haven’t seen all your videos. I still recommend them to students. For purposes of the home handyman, I hope you cover an explanation of why the AC in basic home wiring has a hot wire and a neutral wire if alternating current means alternating flow of current. My rough and dirty explanation to friends, just so they learn to be safe, is that one side is active and the other, a current carrying ground, is passive, but never take wire color for granted. Always identify the hot wire and account for why it is the hot wire in whatever box you find it.

    This is the first movie that CLEARLY explains all presented concepts. The visual aspect, the order, the simplicity and grouping of subjects (e.g. just stating that the wire generates a field and counting different setups of cables and indicating just relation of strength of the field between setups).
    This comment applies to all electricity related videos. This is a modern (adjusted to psychology of learning) video that I am keeping for my children to use it as best material for teaching the concept.
    The only thing I am sorry is that there isn't many of such quality materials for more concepts.
    This video is perfect as well the other ones of yours about electricity.
    This comment also refers to the speed of voice, the intonation clearly marking start, middle and end of sentence. It refers to separate intonation when doing a digression.
    This is a world class educational video.
    It is so good it is a pleasure to watch it more than once... again... just for pleasure that everything is so clear.
    Last thing. I believe you are able to explain it so nicely because among different advantages you really understand it and others either lack the teaching skills or real conceptual knowledge.
    This means this is a great video showing HOW to teach.

    @jovetj 5 ปีที่แล้ว +453

    Key point I think was overlooked: the more electrons in the outermost shell, the stronger the nucleus holds onto them. This is why materials with just one valence electron (living in the outermost shell) make the best conductors of electricity-they are the loosest held by the atom. Valence electrons even make the atom smaller.... an atom with two valence electrons will be just slightly smaller in diameter than the atom with one less proton/electron: the nucleus holds the electrons tighter and closer, which makes the atom's diameter slightly smaller. The metals copper, silver, and gold are excellent conductors because they have one valence electron and the size of the atoms is a "sweet spot" for how loosely that valence electron is held.

      You know your "dyslexia" is actually natural & intuitive, because Ben Franklin got it wrong. He simply guessed which direction the "fire" in the wires was flowing but he guessed wrong so now our conventions of positive & negative are backwards. So your intuition is actually correct, but also probably why it's hard for you to grasp EE concepts. Don't give up; stay positive (which is really the "negative" side of a battery....lol!)! 🤓👍

      That’s actually very common in trades, most electricians focus on the practical knowledge that’s gets the job done like electrical codes and techniques. It’s not necessary to fully understand the science behind it but it does set you apart from the rest if you decided to inform yourself on electrical theory. Most Journeyman and master electricians have at least a basic knowledge of this stuff.

    Great video, short & to the point as it should be!
    ---------
    01:30 INSULATOR: atoms without free electrons in valence shell
    CONDUCTOR: atoms that can pass electrons - surround with insulator (e.g. copper wire inside rubber)
    02:15 Atoms are passed randomly in any direction
    Connect conductive material to CLOSED circuit with power source -> 03:09 VOLTAGE (pushing force, analogy: pressure in water pipe) forces electrons to move in same direction, trying to get to the other terminal
    03:23 VOLT= work (Joules, heat/light) per group of flowing electrons (Coulomb)
    03:59 AMP = unit of current (analogy: flow of water in pipe), 1 Amp = 1 Coulomb/second
    04:37 RESISTANCE (unit = Ohms) = restriction on flow of electrons -- factors: length (longer = more resistance), thickness (thicker = less resistance), material (copper has lower electron collision rate than iron -> copper offers less resistance), temperature (hotter = less resistance)
    In circuits without inductances or capacitance Ohm's law: Voltage (V, in Volts) = Current (I, in Amps) * Resistance (R, in Ohms) -> Current = Voltage / Resistance & Resistance = Voltage / Current
    Power (P, in Watts) = Voltage * Current
    04:59 RESISTORS restrict flow of electrons, e.g. protect other components or create light/heat (05:16 high enough collission rate of electrons due to resistance => incandescence)
    05:40 INDUCTOR - coiling a wire intensifies its natural magnetic field as current passes through it -> electrons in wire become affected.
    More turns in coil / iron core / more current ---> stronger magnetic field ---> electromagnets + induction motors
    06:27 AC GENERATORS; passing magnetic field THROUGH coil -> induced electromotive force -> induce voltage, cause current to flow if in circuit
    06:52 TRANSFORMERS: induce voltage from primary coil (in circuit with AC generator) over into a secondary (proximate but not touching) coil (in CLOSED circuit). => allows to increase/decrease voltage between primary and secondary coil by changing amount of coils on either side.
    07:38 CAPACITOR ("condensator" in multiple languages): separates positive and negative charges across 2 plates if connected to power supply -> build-up of electrons in electric field ... interrupted power supply -> charges released (power source for few seconds) + pair back up again
    08:17 ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC): current flow backwards & forwards as terminals are reversed, most common (wall sockets,...)
    DIRECT CURRENT (DC): current flows only in 1 direction (batteries, handheld devices, solar panels)

      Wow thx for the notes can you please explain at the generator part that 1st current through a coil was causing mag field then he said mag field generates emf and then causes current in the same coil so how that works I mean there was already current flowing through source before so now we don't need source? And will this mag field provide current now to the circuit?

    Electrons actually move very slowly through a wire connected to some voltage source. What really happens is the electric field sloshes the electrons in the direction we call the direction of current flow and the electric field propagates very close to the speed of light. Slightly less since it's not a vacuum.

Being the curious kid I was I asked my dad what “the big green humming box” was. He told me it’s a transformer. I simply replied “oh.” When I had to go home so he could go back to work I went up to the transformer and said “your secret is safe with me”

    *summary:*
    - the electrons in the valence shell (outter shell) of some atoms can flow from one atom to a neighboring one
    - if you create an *electric potential* (aka *voltage*) difference across a *conducting* wire, the electrons will flow in one direction through that wire
    - if you cut out a small piece of the conducting wire, and replace it with a *resisting* wire, the resisting wire will get hot as electrons flow through it
    - you can use this concept to create things live electric stoves, heaters, etc
    - there are certain resisting material, that when heated up, will produce a lot of bright light, you can use this to create electric light bulbs
    *units:*
    - *voltage* is a measure of electric potential difference between 2 points in a conducting wire
    - the unit of voltage is *Volt*
    - a Volt is the number of joules of energy given of as 1 coulomb of electrons flows from one point to the other
    - a *coulomb* is just a really large number
    - *current* is a measure of how many electrons are flowing through the wire per second
    - the unit for current is *Amps*
    - 1 Amp is 1 coulomb of electrons lowing past a certain point in your wire per second
    *briefly covered stuff:*
    - an *inducer* is a coil of wire, that generates a magnetic field in response to current going through the wire
    - the magnetic field creates a voltage in the opposite direction as the current
    - this is how AC (alternating current) is produce
    - *AC* is when you move electrons in one direction in the wire, then in the opposite direction, then in the original direction, then in the opposite, and repeat
    - *DC* (direct current) is when electrons move in the same direction the whole time
    - a *capacitor* builds up charges as current flows through it (when current stops flowing, the charge dissipates)
    Thanks for this video! Extremely well made!

The learning platforms that are meant to make learning easy either simplify until things get inaccurate or move wayyy to slow. I knew this channel teaches a lot of, regarding engineering, but I didn’t know this channel teaches all I needed to know, including basics. And since it is engineering I am interested in anyway, it’s straight from the horses mouth. Awesome.
