    The easiest way to explain it would be to think of a battery. Nature is about balance. You know that when you put the positive side of a magnet close to the negative side of another magnet, they're going to try to pull together. They're trying to "balance" themselves.
    Now think about that with electrons. The electrons in the negative side of the battery really REALLY want to get to the positive side. We take advantage of this by creating circuits. We give them a path to get to that positive side that they desperately want to reach, and we have them do a little work for us along the way. The MORE free electrons in the negative side of the battery, the more POTENTIAL there is for us to use (Voltage).
    This is why a fully charged battery will read its rated voltage, or close to it, and why a depleted battery will read a noticeably LOWER voltage -- reflecting the fact that many of those electrons are now at the positive side of the battery. There aren't AS MANY of them left that need to get over there anymore, so much of the FORCE they provide when traveling through the circuit has dissipated.
    Think of a bunch of people waiting outside a store before Black Friday. All of those people are electrons. Outside the store is the negative side of the battery. The store itself is the circuit. The register is the positive side of the battery. As soon as those doors are open, those people are going to rush to get to the items they want, grab 'em, and run for the registers! The more people (electrons) there are waiting in line (negative side), the more FORCE they'll have when they make their rush to grab what they want and checkout (positive side).
    I hope that helps.

    You made an excellent video explaining voltage! One remark though, at 3:35 you say the light will be dimmer when two batteries are in parallel. This is not true -unless you ment it relative to two batteries in series. You probably ment the latter, but now it sounds as if you ment to say the light will be dimmer relative to just one battery.. Suggestion: add text saying "dimmer relative to two batteries in series".

      Take a battery, on one side it has too many electrons, on the other it needs electrons, so upon connecting the 2 sides with a wire the electrons will naturally go to the positive side, voltage is basically how much negative charge is separated from the positive (hence potential difference). So a voltage is potentially how much energy the electrons would give off while travelling from the negative to the positive part

    How does a 9v battery differ from a 3v battery. Is it that the 9v battery has more electrons in its -ve terminal compared to the 3v battery or do they both have the same number of electrons in the -ve terminal but the 9v battery keeps its electrons at a higher pressure. Is it volume of electrons that is different or is it pressure? If it is pressure , does it mean that 1amp of current coming from a 9v battery source can do more work than 1amp coming from, a 3v source.

      Good question and nobody answered. Go back to thinking of water,, a big pool has more water than a small one and so has more potential or volume and so will flow longer., verses a very tall very thin water tank that has as much volume of water as the big pool.. On the big pool you could have a big or small drain, and the same for the tall tank.
      So you could adjust the valves of the big pool and the thin tall tank tank to flow out at exactly the same volume. The valves are the resistance. So if you crank your 12 volt battery car to start which is the valve fully open the battery will drain fast but it will crank. A one volt battery will drain so fast the starter will not even turn..

      It is already explained in the video , the 9v battery produces 9 joules of energy per coulomb and the 3v battery produces 3joules of energy per coulomb.so at the end,the 9 v battery gives more energy and makes the electrons move faster

      @tedlahm5740 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes correct. If HIGH CURRENT (amps) were in transmission lines we would
      need a cable the size of a Volkswagen. To get the same power. Not practical.

    So more voltage=more power? So in sci-fi adding more “power” to the shields is just applying more voltage?

    Nice video! but I think you've drawn the direction of the current backwards, the raised side of the battery should be the positive terminal, it should be moving from this end to the negative terminal

      Please see our video, electrical current explained

    • @flamingzzz
      @flamingzzz ปีที่แล้ว

      @@EngineeringMindset I've already seen it, I went to watch it again after you said it, but that video also seems to flow from the flat end of the battery to the protruding end, and all the batteries that can get in my country have the protruding end as the positive terminal, and the flat end as the negative terminal, so the flow animation that in the video from the positive terminal to the negative terminal should flow the other way round 🤔

    • @TheBassParticle
      @TheBassParticle 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@flamingzzz I know this is an old post but I was trying to find an answer to a question I had and stumbled across this. In electrical current explained Paul explains the two theories of electricity and how electricity flows from the negative charge to a positive one, not the other way around. I'm not well versed in electrical theories or history but according to his explanation that should answer why it is depicted this way.
