    hey all,
    just something to consider if you feel like she's talking too fast,
    it's actually the editing. the editor is cutting the start of each new vocal passage per scene so that it cuts in right after the presenter stops talking.
    so there are very few breathing bits.
    it's a way of maintaining consistent audience attention by subtly changing dynamics, but it does also kind of irritate people who prefer a normal human conversational pace.

    While water pressure and flow are a handy way to mentally model electrical voltage and current, it is worth noting that electrons themselves move very slowly (only millimeters per second) through a conductor in the direction opposite the current ("electron drift speed"), while electrical current moves close to the speed of light. The way to picture this is, that the electrical conductor is a tube, packed full of balls from one end to the other. When you push a ball (electron) in one end of the tube, it almost instantly forces a ball out the other end of the tube. The speed at which that pressure information is transmitted from one end of the tube to the other is the speed of electrical current, while the speed at which the balls move through the tube is electron drift speed.

      daemn42 thank you! I imagine it as them bumping into each other or like water in a pipe. When you turn the faucet, the water coming out doesn't come directly from the source but only pushing out a very small fraction of water from the back all the way to the end of you faucet.

      the drift velocity of electrons is proportional to the electric field and with electric fields of the order of 10^4 V/cm, the drift velocity of electrons is well beyond mm/sec. electrons move only a few mm/sec is a misconception, they can move a lot faster as well.

    Positive charge current flowing oppositely its negative electron charge current, is less confusing to advanced students when they recognize that electron charge movement displaces the local field positively in the opposite direction-like boats displace water; _a wire moving against its electron flow has the same magnetism._

I have also read USA circuit books that show -ve to +ve flow in an electronic circuit. Try to explain thermionic emission with conventional flow or to describe the working of a solid state circuit.

    The drawing of diode show an arrow pointing toward negative, like if electricity was flowing from positive.
    The mistake comes from electro-plating and arc lamps. In both cases, we can not see the tiny electrons flowing from negative to positive but see the much larger atoms/molecules (or ions) flowing from the positive side of the arc lamp or the metal elements attaching to the negative electrode.

    0:23 Electric current [through a component] is the total amount of charge passing through [that component] over a [given] period of time. Some slight oversights here but nothing too weird.
    2:01 "This is just a common conductor that ensures that current always has a path to a large reservoir of charge, usually the Earth itself." Ok, and exactly why do we need a grounded connector? Would this short out the battery and not deliver any power to the lightbulb at all since charges always tend to follow the path with the least resistance? What if the negative terminal of the battery had a potential of -100 V? Would current still flow to Earth? Why do most portable appliances not have a ground connector whatsoever, although they do host energy cells? What does this mean?
    Crash course, alright, but lacking of proper information has nothing to do with it being fast. Lots of video on UA-cam where current is explained way better.
