Very informative videos with easily digestible analogies and explanations. Sometimes they're slow, but I'm impressed with the relatively thorough and practical coverage of the topics.
Thanks for the compliment about my videos. I have to keep the pace slow for the people who are being intorduced to these topics for the first time, as they need time to think about each point before moving on to the next one.
Eugene Khutoryansky is the sort of teacher I yearned for at tecnical college. Many of the lecturers I had obviously didn't understand their subject at the fundamental level. They were never able to teach their subject adequately. This presenter doesn't _just_ understand the subject but he also understands the conceptual difficulties in students' learning needs. We are privileged to have such a doyen of physics as a TH-cam presenter.

Three years studying engineer at the best university on my country and I was not still satisfied with what voltage was... best analogy ever thank you so much
I've read several articles about return paths in the last days. However, your animated explanation is the clearest to understand! Thanks Eugene ♥️ PS would be awesome if you would have also animated the proper and the worse (heavily radiating) electromagnetic field for a close and an interrupted return path.
I was looking for information on how grounds really work, which I got. I also got information on some other stuff that has confused me for years. What a great video, thanks for taking the time to make it this good.
Patreon Done! FYI,Your work is worth way more than a $1.00 a month. Thank you so much for your vids. I hope this helps as its all I can do at the moment. However when I can I will kick you back some more $.
The third "ground" hole on a power outlet isn't just a connection to earth ground. It is a connection to the circuit ground, which is also connected to earth ground via a "grounding electrode." This is done to lower the total resistance between the electrical system and the earth, which helps to minimize potentially dangerous voltages from developing between the two due to high current flow from high energy sources (ie lightning). The reason for this third slot is to bond metal enclosures to the circuit ground (via the "equipment grounding conductor"), so in the event that an ungrounded or "hot/live" conductor (that is, relative to earth ground) makes contact with the enclosure, there will be a low resistance path back to the source (circuit ground) which will cause high current to flow and result in the overcurrent protection device (fuse or circuit breaker) opening and turning off the circuit. Without this low resistance path, current can still flow back to the source through the earth ground, possibly using a human body as part of this circuit. The resistance of this "ground fault" path may not be high enough to trigger the OCPD (say, 15A or 20A for a standard household circuit), but may still be low enough to pass lethal current through a person (~100mA).
Because of your videos I wanna be a musician as well as physicist. Your background music choice is very nice. It's name is Gymnopedie no. 1 by Satie, isn't it? Well explained Eugene! Thanks
I just signed up on your Patreon! I'll happily do the $1.00 a month. I still have to go instide to get my credit card though. I'm literally "In the Dog House" testing it out for my Four Dog's.

I'll guess you may may be familiar with my breeds, as I have one Kuvaz and One Giant TATRA SHEPPARD☺ both are All white☺
this is a way of explaining why the grounded conductor (neutral) and grounding conductor (equipment ground) are bonded at only one point (service disconnect, or transformer disconnect). Small currents induced as "noise" into circuits can be nearly eliminated by installing an isolated ground, where the devices for sensitive equipment are not bonded to the adjacent metallic system, but run directly to the service ground.
I never thought that I would be one of those patrons.... but your videos are really good I decided to take the plunge. It's not much but I hope it will make a small difference. Thanks for all ... May I ask you how you know all this stuff? :-)

As an example an Internet router circuit board, they may have many small shields around (I would guess the oscillators and amplifiers for VHF) are those metals special in any way? some I have are almost gold like on the inside and a silver like polished on the outside.......2nd. Does the shape of the shields affect things and do the shields absorb passing radio waves? ......... I'm so sorry to ask so much but one unrelated Q. that has plauged me for awhile now is (subject : Einstein Relitivity) When we speak in terms of "Observers" and their "reference frames" are we as students to negelect "c" and assume instantaneous information in the thought experiment, Im sure we do just never had clarification.
+Andrew Karpinen, the reason for using gold is because gold is an excellent conductor. But, because gold is expensive, what is typically done is that it is just used as a thin coating on another metal. The shields reflect the incoming electromagnetic waves. The shape of the shield is typically not critical, but in high voltage applications, you typically want to avoid sharp corners, these can cause large electric fields. In reply to the question about relativity, no we can't neglect C, and we can't assume instantaneous information, as the though experiments will not work otherwise.

If you have a switch open or close in the circuit, this will generate a step function, and step functions have high frequency components when represented as a combination of sine waves.

I think the only negative was the piano music in the background was the same piece as what I've heard in at least one Miyazaki film. That's really distracting for a man child like myself.
Can someone explain me why a person standing on a ceramic floor ,above concrete, above earth (all isolating materials) suffer an electrocution if touch a 110 or 220 live cable?
In cable there are several wires inside. There are e.g. live (phase voltage), neutral (return wire) and usually protective earth (earth ground) wires as seen on video. These three wires were wired onto the wall socket at 03:00. This example person in question standing upon more or less insulating floor structure should touch the live wire and the neutral wire (or protective earth wire) simultaneously. However, in some cases electrocution is possible while in contact between neutral and protective earth or earth ground wires (01:30).
3:13 that is not true with the type of outlet shown. Center hole(green wire) is earth ground. One hole (black wire) is a side of the transformer(either side). One hole(white wire) is connected to the center of the transformer winding (not shown) and also goes to earth ground.
Milos Grounding a screen on one end will protect your signal integrity from E fields only. Grounding at both ends forms a closed circuit for induced currents to flow, which protects your interconnect from external H fields too.
Anywhere stray charges can come from, even static electricity. I used to have this problem with products I made that had electrically isolated signal outputs. When fed into the customers differential input data acquisition equipment, it wouldn't always work because is would sometimes allow the common mode output voltage to violate the common mode input range of the measurement equipment. I had to tell them to connect a ground to their instrumentation so often that I finally gave up and started putting large value resistors (100k) between the signal output common and ground. This was enough to maintain isolation more or less, but still provided a path for charges to bleed off to keep the common mode voltage referenced near ground.

Fox's Law: Gymnopédie No.1 + Knowledge = Like
+Mr Fox, glad you liked my video, and the choice of music. :)
Since the circuit is operating at DC (0 Hz), what would be the frequency of the electromagnetic waves generated by the loops?
If you have a switch open or close in the circuit, this will generate a step function, and step functions have high frequency components when represented as a combination of sine waves.
So will it be an array of different waves at varying frequencies and amplitudes, harmonics per se?
I have no formal education on the matter, I'm just curious. I got allot of info from this thanks to the big, bold, colorful animations which illustrates the definitions that appear. I think the only negative was the piano music in the background was the same piece as what I've heard in at least one Miyazaki film. That's really distracting for a man child like myself.
Hi
There is no charge at ground.
So ground potential is zero.
Is this statement true?
No, we arbitrarily pick a place to call zero, as described in the video.

VERY good!!
For me the music in the background is a total distraction. Too bad.
So do I ground the shield at both ends or not?
The big question still remains.
No, you should tie to ground at only one point, so as to avoid creating ground loops.
For both VFD and sensor cable?
I often see in documentation that shield for VFD should be ground at both ends.
Milos Grounding a screen on one end will protect your signal integrity from E fields only. Grounding at both ends forms a closed circuit for induced currents to flow, which protects your interconnect from external H fields too.
it was very help full
but it wasn't very clear that how the extremely voltage difference through the transformer came from
Anywhere stray charges can come from, even static electricity. I used to have this problem with products I made that had electrically isolated signal outputs. When fed into the customers differential input data acquisition equipment, it wouldn't always work because is would sometimes allow the common mode output voltage to violate the common mode input range of the measurement equipment.

This was enough to maintain isolation more or less, but still provided a path for charges to bleed off to keep the common mode voltage referenced near ground.
so if you remove the Earth Ground in your explanation we effectively have an automotive context where ground is the chassis.
