As I've gotten older (36 to be exact) I’ve become far more interested on understanding the everyday world around me that we so often overlook and take for granted. I have recently had an increased fascination with electricity and I am wildly hooked on your videos. Thank you for publishing quality content with great explanations!!
I’ve been an Electronic Tech for almost 40 years. This is by far one of the best explanations on Voltage. The only problem is that every video I’ve seen explains Joules per Coulomb but never shows how to actually create a joule per Coulomb just like the first instruments did. I’m sure Volta didn’t jump up and say “Voila, here is one Joule per Coulomb!” (In Italian of course)
Your tutorials are hands down _the_ best I've found on UA-cam. They are clear, well designed, conveniently arranged into appropriate playlists, and explain the topics so that they sink right in. I tip my hat to you, sir.
I'm so glad you are making videos again. I have learned a lot from your videos. I am currently studying electrical engineering and the concepts you put forth help me a great deal.
I'm a real novice at this. While the amp video was easy to digest, I have to confess that, by the end of this video, I was lost. It would be great if you had a link to problems people could do to learn about volts, joules, etc. I'm almost 60 now. From my school days, I remember that doing problems often made things clear-- even if I was confused by a lecture or a textbook. But thank you for these videos. If from a point of struggling, they're a great start.
Nice graphics and informative, but one misleading statement. At 2:52 the narrator says, "...electrons push other electrons..." which is not true, even though it may be intuitive. If this was water in a pipe, then the water molecules would indeed push other molecules down the pipe, but electricity is NOT water flow in a pipe. This is where the "hydraulic analogy" falls short. The battery is a source of an electric field. As soon as the circuit is connected, the battery's electric field is guided around the circuit via the conductors (electrical conductors can also be called wave guides). The electric field travels around the entire circuit at the nearly the speed of light (specifically at the velocity of propagation). Once the field is established, each electron in the conductor is nearly simultaneously subjected to a directional force along the conductor. The electric field (not the other electrons) "pushes" each electron around in the circuit. When the electrons arrive at the battery's positive terminal, a chemical reaction (specifically a reduction reaction) is driven and uses the electrons in the reaction, gobbling up the electrons. At the same time, the battery creates electrons at the negative terminal via a complementary oxidation reaction, keeping the number of electrons in the system relatively constant. Read more by researching the Lorentz Force Law of electric fields (i.e. F=qE, where F is the force vector, E is the electric field vector, and q is the electrical charge, such as an electron).

A long-winded and unnecessary explanation for people who don't understand what voltage is! When explaining to beginners, keep it simple and don't try to impress with your superior knowledge, otherwise the audience will just switch off.
I've been in an electrical rate in the Navy for over 20 years now and I am still alive so I must be doing something right. I use a lot of these basic video's to train my junior techs on how to understand better / more efficient troubleshooting of equipment faults. I may be a nerd but I enjoy talking about grounds, virtual grounds, ungrounded navy ships compared to civilian grounded buildings and how to properly t/s utilizing them.Thanks for the Vid's..
Thank you for all of your videos afroman, Ive been doing projects for 12 years as a side hobby and Ive been able to buff up my knowledge on how some of my projects work and have given me more ideas thanks to your videos!
I was studying electric current through conductor, i suddenly saw this Video, after watching this video I said to myself my whole time / effort and the thing which i learned is covered in this short video.
suhan ul anam BlueSkyGaming 1st channel I’m sorry brother, I guess I’ll just go ohm. No point in resisting any longer, the current vibe here has gotten quite draining and I’ve run out of energy for these sorts of things. Just doesn’t have that spark anymore, ya’know?
Thank you so much!! After probably a year of being in and out of electronics and still not understanding volts/amps, this explanation is so nice. A lot of examples that use water in a pipe explain the amps as volume of water being moved and the voltage as it’s velocity. I never understood this since volume moved and velocity are directly proportional (i.e. how could you move 1A and 10V through a wire and then push 10A and 1V through an identical wire?) Comparing voltage to force instead of velocity was very helpful :)
So...here's ssome things I need to be clarified. If there is a 9V battery, there's a difference of 9 joules per coulombs between the electrodes...but what does that mean? A joule is a unit of energy. So the electrons on one side have less energy per coulomb? How? Is this a measure of the potential energy of the electrons? And does one side necessarily become a particular charge based on this? If what I extrapolated from the information is correct, I would assume current MUST flow from the side with more energy to the side with less. Would that make the positive electrode the one with higher joules per coulomb, forcing electrons out from that side and into the negative side?
So the way you should think about potential difference is that if you take a particle of a certain charge and move it from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a 9V battery, it will experience a _change_ in energy of 9 times the charge. So yes, this does mean that if you move an electron (which has a negative charge), it will experience a _negative_ change and *lose* energy whereas if you move a proton from the + to - terminal, it will *gain* energy. Also, no, the different sides of the battery do not need to be specific charges. In fact, you could very well have a 9V potential difference in a system that is negatively charged on *both* sides; just make one side _more_ negative than the other and electrons will still want to flow away from that side. More to the point though, you don't even need a specific difference in charge between sides to get 9 volts _specifically_. The difference in energy is as much a function of charge as it is the distribution of that charge. Finally, yes, you are exactly right to say that current flows from the side with higher energy to lower energy, however, no, the positive end doesn't force electrons out from it. Instead, remember that current flowing in say... the "left" direction could _either_ be something positive (like protons) moving _left_ *or* something negative (such as electrons) moving _right_. So the current going from the + terminal to the - one is _actually_ negatively charged electrons going from the - terminal to the + one. And if you think about it, this actually does fit with our definition of potential difference; since an electron's charge is negative, it gains energy in the opposite direction to the difference. Hopefully this helps
The explanation gets confusing at 4:30. The statement that "one joule is enough energy to power this flashlight for one second" seems pulled out of thin air. How would one reach that conclusion? I feel the need for a visual representation of what it means at the atomic level like the very nice voltage representation. Also the battery circuit diagram at the beginning might be confusing for people that already know a little about electricity. I think it would be useful to explain/remind people that there are two conventions regarding electricity flow. One from + to - and the other from - to +. Which is a terrible thing that probably caused me to understand almost nothing in school about electricity. Anyway, amazing video!
I think that the the flashlight part was merely demonstrate what a joule of energy "looks like." It's similar to showing someone a banana, for scale, next to a really small or large object
No, there is only one convention for the electrical current direction, that is form + to -. Electrons moving form - to + is not a convention it's a fact and it is irrelevant for the topic.
In my final year of computer engineering and this video actually cleared up a couple things that I just never knew.. Keep making videos man, you're my favourite sub!
Great video and easy to understand. When I had to take an exam on AC electrics for my Commercial Pilots License , it took me 3 attempts to pass it ! DC electrics exam no problems passed first attempt but AC electrics a nightmare!
Very interesting video. Let's apply what we learned here to wall charger. Why there are wall charger that charges at 5V-3A and some other that charges at 9V-2A. If you do the right math they have the same amount of power but why some prefers to increase voltage and lower Ampere and some other increase the ampere and lower the voltage?
This vedio was very helpful. Very word is so carefully chosen which easily explains complex ideas. Thanks for your time, effort, and knowledge sharing!
If 9V means that 9 joules of energy is transferred by every coulomb of charge, then if all of this energy carried by the electrical current is transferred into light/thermal energy in the lamp, then how does the electrons have any energy or "pushing force" left to return to the opposite side of the cell? Any help is appreciated!
Your Presentation is simply amazing. It's 100 times better than that of the convoluted, sensless and tangled textbook and teachers who suppose to make it easy and understandable. BRAVO!!!!!
First I apologize for my stupid question. Please, can anybody tell me, how electron on the begin of the circuit can recognize how voltage difference is between negative and positive ends of the circuit? How can it recognize, if the distance between both negative and positive is very long? Once again sorry, I am just a simple woman. Thank you everybody for answers.
The electron doesn't need to know. It just moves along the electric field that is created when voltage is present. Its like when you fall off a cliff, regardless of you knowing or not knowing the height of the cliff or the fact that you have fallen at all(you might even be unconscious), you will still fall due to gravity(analogy to voltage).
Volt is J/C or energy per "lump" of electrons or energy per electron (divided). The direction of that energy comes from the chemical process resulting in free electrons which then gather at one end of the battery. Those electrons have a negative charge that repell each other, giving them a direction to move. I also like to think of the magnetic force as a build up of pressure. In a wire they sometimes collide with the material, that reduces speed and creates heat (wire has a resistance that drops the voltage), while the excess electrons keep pushing (repelling) them forward maintaining the direction and flow.
These two videos were great. The closest I've been able to come.to understanding. I have no idea why it's such a difficult concept for me to grasp. These videos are helping though
Note: I used electron flow in this video to keep things simple. In future videos I will be using conventional current. Make sure you have watched this if you don't understand the difference: ua-cam.com/video/8gvJzrjwjds/v-deo.html
Hey man, that's no problem. It's not your fault the physics department created madness by using positive charges instead of electron flow to make engineering life that much more confusing.

Wow! What a comprehensive resource. Love the simplicity and the illustrations. It's a complex subject and the way you have presented it makes it easier to understand. Appreciate it. I'll definitely share it.
that was one of the more intuitive ones i've seen so far. very helpful, had been struggling with the concept of voltage for a while, especially since it seemed like such an arbitrary concept when we had potential energy. still a little fuzzy, but honestly, it'll become clearer the more i work with it.
Thank you for your videos. I have a great mechanical aptitude and easily understand anything mechanical, but electricity is something I have very little understanding of. Your explanations are simple but detailed, so thank you again.
After watching many videos on voltage, I got the concept of voltage in this video. Thank you for explaining the voltage particularly the electric potential energy and potential difference between two points
Thank you very much! Now I can say I better understand the relationship between Voltage and Current. You give a lot of patient and well-structured information. In the end, I gather that Voltage is a kind of "electron pump", the more Voltage in a circuit, the more electrons moving. But the relationship is not linear. That depends, I guess, on what the electrons have to go through on their way to the other end of the circuit. You know, I always shied away from electricity but I can see now, with a better fundamental understanding between Voltage and Current, that it can become quite addictive. Thanks to people like you, earth is a better place to live in :-)
Actually, the more voltage, the more force behind the electrons. The number of electrons moving are the amps. The relationship is often linear, but that depends on what the electrons are trying to push through. Resistors are completely linear. Push twice as hard (double the voltage), and twice as many electrons flow (double the amps). This is the basis of Ohms Law. But if the electrons are pushing through a semiconductor, like a diode, the relationship is no longer linear.
Excellent. Thanks for uploading this. I actually got out of my ignorance about electricity. I wanted to understand at least a portion of what is meant in all a/c adapters. I always heard but had no clue of what 5v at 2.0 amp actually is These are the videos that are really worth your time and worth watching on youtube

This is the best explanation I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot of videos attempting to explain this. Thanks, this helps a lot.
You have a true gift for explaining
Super pumped that you're making videos again. Welcome back to us!
Finally a guy who described what I want, thank you
thank you, one of the few people that use actual electron flow
Wow! What a comprehensive resource. Love the simplicity and the illustrations. It's a complex subject and the way you have presented it makes it easier to understand. Appreciate it. I'll definitely share it.
that was one of the more intuitive ones i've seen so far. very helpful, had been struggling with the concept of voltage for a while, especially since it seemed like such an arbitrary concept when we had potential energy.
still a little fuzzy, but honestly, it'll become clearer the more i work with it.
Thank you for your videos. I have a great mechanical aptitude and easily understand anything mechanical, but electricity is something I have very little understanding of. Your explanations are simple but detailed, so thank you again.
Re-learning this stuff in my 30s to keep my mind fresh. Very well explained!
After watching many videos on voltage, I got the concept of voltage in this video. Thank you for explaining the voltage particularly the electric potential energy and potential difference between two points
absolutely fantastic video, I really appreciate the detail in this. It's a shame to see you don't make videos anymore.
Thanks for reveal this beautiful image of data flowing. I'm finally complete.
Thank you very much! Now I can say I better understand the relationship between Voltage and Current. You give a lot of patient and well-structured information. In the end, I gather that Voltage is a kind of "electron pump", the more Voltage in a circuit, the more electrons moving. But the relationship is not linear. That depends, I guess, on what the electrons have to go through on their way to the other end of the circuit. You know, I always shied away from electricity but I can see now, with a better fundamental understanding between Voltage and Current, that it can become quite addictive. Thanks to people like you, earth is a better place to live in :-)
Actually, the more voltage, the more force behind the electrons. The number of electrons moving are the amps. The relationship is often linear, but that depends on what the electrons are trying to push through. Resistors are completely linear. Push twice as hard (double the voltage), and twice as many electrons flow (double the amps). This is the basis of Ohms Law. But if the electrons are pushing through a semiconductor, like a diode, the relationship is no longer linear.
2 Videos a day! What a time to be alive!
Thorough and explained very well.
also, what i got from the video
amp = Coulomb/s
volt = joule/coulomb
watt = joule/s
So clear and understandable. Thank you.
Here's a Great video that actually makes WANT to go "Back to School" and Try Harder this time !
Your teaching skill is incomparable 🤗
Excellent. Thanks for uploading this. I actually got out of my ignorance about electricity. I wanted to understand at least a portion of what is meant in all a/c adapters. I always heard but had no clue of what 5v at 2.0 amp actually is
These are the videos that are really worth your time and worth watching on youtube
Best explanation i have ever seen.
For a very long time Ive wondered about the necromancy that is electricity.Thanks to your 5star video I still dont understand it but Im a damn site closer than Ive ever been before. A couple more views will get me there I think.Thank you very much.
