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)

You are mind blowing me all the way ! You present information in a very logical and easy way to understand using analogies where needed, animations, examples also being funny until the end... Just imagine if our teachers used these techniques to teach
My deepest thanks to you. i have watched countless videos on youtube, spent hours on google and bugged my father for an explanation (who is an electrical engineer) and you are the first person who has managed to explain the purpose/difference of amps and volts in a concise way that is easy to understand, specificly that part around6-7 mins in with the motor was what got it to click with me, volts is a measure of electrical force, and amps is the speed at which that electrical force is moving at, it makes so much sense now, truely i cant thank you enough xD its really been bugging me that i havent been able to understand that until now. i knew subbing to you was a good idea :)
No, sorry to say you don't have it. It has nothing to do with the speed. The speed will always be the speed of light in the medium being considered. With water as an analogy, voltage is related to the "pressure" and amps is related to the "flow".
I'm an adult man and I've spent an entire afternoon googling what voltage is, without finding a clear, simple, concise explanation. Then I ended up by pure chance on this video and voilà. I wish my teachers back in school were as good as you mate
This vid was amazing. Not overly simple, not too hung up on concepts, actual example presentation, explanations of the effects. That was AWESOME, thanks for the excellent work!
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.
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.
This, In my mind, Is much better than other videos like animations that attempt to use height and other unrelated things to show that a higher voltage is more energy, but it just makes no sense in my mind. Gravity is nothing like the energy that pushes electrons.
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).

So good to have you back! Your work really helps understanding electronics. I managed to create successfully my bench power supply thanks to one of your videos.
I’m still having trouble visualizing or understanding The formula for Voltage Joules per coulomb J/C I’m finding picturing a joule per coulomb difficult
Coulumb is the charge itself let's say electron."How many electron you have ?" and you should answer that with 1 Coulumb. Joule is energy unit. How much energy is needed to move 100 Coulumb of electrons ?. let's say 10000 Joule / 100 Cooulumb. so, for each electron you need 10000/100 = 100 Joule/Coulumb = 100 Volt. So, it is how much energy you need to move 1 coulumb of electrons
Use your imagination, and relate to what is being said into an object-oriented method or ways. In other words, in stead of hanging onto the new terms you just heard on this video, put that new terms or words you heard on this video, into different simple terms you already familiar with, at 0.28 narrator on the video says, voltage can be understood as a pushing force or some kind of pressure generated by chemical reaction, just think of it as such, in your mind. Just an FYI... Electricity is fascinating, it is truly glorifying the Creator of universe (God), by understanding all that HE has created, this is me as a musllim.
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

Thanks for the great video yet again! Please, keep making them, only you saved me from failing my grade. :)
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.
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 :)
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!
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!!!!!
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..
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).
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.
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.
I really appreciate the no nonsense explanation. It especially helps when you have a basis, but need to expand it because you are deciding to take on some electrical projects. So thank you again, I’m glad I stumbled upon your videos. Subbed.
I watched the amp video long ago, and was thinking of doing myself one video about voltage since it was taking you so long... man i spend days making a decent script and i was about to start doing the video so i decided to watch again your amp video to inspire myself.... didnt knew you already have done the voltage one... and i think is better explained than i could have ever done it... I somehow feel devastated, but hey it's good you have done a great job, thankyou
Thank you for this video. I don't know why I've had such a hard time understanding the basic concepts of voltage. Now I get it and can finally move on. Thank you very much, Sir.
Im still getting my head around it but I can follow these. Thank you! You have no idea how many webs and videos I saw before these trying to understand voltage and amps.

Great presentation. Lot of information in less than 10 minutes. As an apprentice Electrician, volts and amps makes more sense to me now.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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?
Good question....can't anybody answer it?
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

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!
@@Random-nq4xj it will really take a lot of joules for me to explain it by text.
Im blown away by your teaching style
I hope the next would be an RS232 tutorial
You want to dismantle the little droid from Star Wars? You monster! :(
+Rob Fraser That's R2D2. I'm talking about the serial data RS232
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!!!!!
Very helpful. But too fast. Should reduce speed when teaching
You know you can adjust the playback speed, right?
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..
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).
Really, you OWNED that explanation. Thanks a lot, your video really added up for me.
Thank you!
Watt is love?
Oh baby dont herz me
Dont herz me
No more
Hertz
Savage :D
I love this song
Ohm baby
No Moore*
Glad to see you are back. I have learned quite a bit from your videos and am looking forward to new ones. Thank you!
hmmmm u r alive.....
I'm taking Physics 2, and although I am studying a lot, I never really understood voltage/potential difference until I watched your video. Thank you!
hh You have fun burning LEDs.
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.
Cats are the best!
Best video I've ever watched about voltage. This is valuable educational content.
Dejavu
With Electric Vehicles 🚗 coming to market, these videos will become more popular.
This way the only video for me that explained perfectly about the potential difference. I had never understood the term before this well.
Finally, ...finally a video that explains voltage easily
I have been trying to understand this for weeks
Thank you you're a genius
most usefull video on youtube ,thank god for smart and considerate people like urself for helping lost souls like myself😃
I have never truly understood the meaning of voltage until now, and I have watched too many videos about it online and in class. Thank you.
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.
This is perfect for someone without any engineering background, thank you very much
I really appreciate the no nonsense explanation. It especially helps when you have a basis, but need to expand it because you are deciding to take on some electrical projects. So thank you again, I’m glad I stumbled upon your videos. Subbed.
I watched the amp video long ago, and was thinking of doing myself one video about voltage since it was taking you so long... man i spend days making a decent script and i was about to start doing the video so i decided to watch again your amp video to inspire myself.... didnt knew you already have done the voltage one... and i think is better explained than i could have ever done it... I somehow feel devastated, but hey it's good you have done a great job, thankyou
Possibly the best guide for understanding what is a volt
This channel definitely deserve more subscribers
thank you, one of the few people that use actual electron flow
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.
Thank you, for the best video on UA-cam for clearing all my doubts related to voltage.Best explanation
A lot of professors can not teach or explain this science like you are do ♥️♥️❤️❤️
frankly i am a hard one to subscribe but u got me by just 2 vids .... man u have something great inside ... thats what we want to see in ytb
1st video I watched about Volts. I didn't Know anything about it at past ..! and I got it! Thank you very Much!!!
Best explanation of voltage I have seen so far.
Man, you are a great teacher. Thanks a lottttt!
Thank you for this video. I don't know why I've had such a hard time understanding the basic concepts of voltage. Now I get it and can finally move on. Thank you very much, Sir.
Im still getting my head around it but I can follow these. Thank you!
You have no idea how many webs and videos I saw before these trying to understand voltage and amps.
Super pumped that you're making videos again. Welcome back to us!
the best explanation for classical electrodynamics I ever had
One of the best teachers ever made
absolutely fantastic video, I really appreciate the detail in this. It's a shame to see you don't make videos anymore.
Very well explained, I wish this was available when in my 1st year of apprenticeship
Just your first visitor....simply awesome. You just developed my personal feeling to voltage.
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!
