    Hello, sir. Thanks a lot for the video. But I have one question. What does the 'direction of voltage' mean? If that's positive, does it mean the electrons are flowing from negative cathode to positive anode?

    • @진유-l9p
      @진유-l9p 6 років тому

      Oh, and I also couldn't really get why the conventional current flows from positive to negative whilst electrons flow from negative to positive. The electron part quite makes sense for me because electrons are negative so are attracted to positive. But if a current is (rate) of flow of electrons, the current should follow the same rule as electrons... that's how I understood so I couldn't get what u were saying. Could you explain it more in detail, please? Thanks!:)

      ​@@진유-l9p u commented this 3 years ago and have probably figured it out now lol but basically current flows from - to +, therefore electrons also flow from - to +, you are right. But in the past, scientist didn't know that, so they thought that it flows from + to negative, and called it conventional current. Since this doesn't really make a difference to calculations, scientists haven't changed it once they discovered that it was wrong, so current actually flows - to +, but in the exam we need to draw + to - (conventional current). I know its kinda dumb, even my teacher wasnt happy with it but yeah :/

  • @xkl-physics7287
    @xkl-physics7287 4 роки тому +1

    I read up that the current flowing through an ohmic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the ohmic conductor (a resistor) provided the temperature is constant. When they say temperature is constant do they mean the temperature of the surroundings or the temperature of the component. You said resistors heat up so should the IV characteristic of a resistor curve like a filament lamp???? Please reply......

    • @ScienceShorts
      @ScienceShorts  4 роки тому +5

      The temp of the resistor changes, but it's designed in such a way that the semi-conducting nature of it balances this out, so resistance is constant. This would be referring to the temp of the surroundings, which will effect how heat is removed from the resistor. Basically, it's a really dumb thing to just throw out there, because it will foster the misconception that a resistor's temp doesn't change with increased current. Bad website.

  • @shyamkanjee6409
    @shyamkanjee6409 6 років тому +4

    At 10:10 if a resistor is a semiconductor, then when you increase the voltage you give more energy to the charge carriers, which causes an increase in temperature.
    But when you increase the temperature you decrease the resistance, so why isn't the graph line falling down when the current or voltage increases?
    i think I've broken science or my brain is broken.

    • @ScienceShorts
      @ScienceShorts  6 років тому +2

      Because giving them enough energy to move into the conduction band and be more free to move far outweighs the effect of increased temperature.
