    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    Even in insulators if you add negatives charges, they get added to the conduction band where they can move around, since when solids form the bands fuse together to form a CONTINUOUS conduction band, right?

    Pretty good explanations but don't feel bad if you tend to get a bit confused because David keeps switching between different definitions for things. i.e. when discussing negative charge he starts using electrons interchangeably when an electron is NOT a negative charge, an electrical is a particle that HAS the property of charge that is negative.

    @ronnies.3440 7 років тому

    What happens when you rub two initially neutral charge conductors together? Both conductors are disks. My thought is since conductors allow electrons to move easily throughout, the process of frictional charging will move the electrons from one disk to the other. Thus, leaving one disk(A.) positively charged and the other disk(B.) negatively charged.

    At 6:10 The negative charges just move to the edges only due to escape repulsion but if more negative charges are added to the conductor, won't the negative charges on the edges be closer enough to repel eachother?

    • @marjaan2657

    One question: if you didn't cut the connecting wire to the ground, then would the charges on the conductor still redistribute themselves? If so, am I correct to assume that then electrons would move from the ground to the conductor to neutralise its charge and be grounded again?

    extra charge on insulator is stationary. But when we add electrons , there must be repulsions and attractions then why the charge is stationary

    • @nsai3757
      @nsai3757 5 років тому

      it is due to the electrons don't have energy levels to jump off from one atom to another atom, this property is seen in materials and this material is called INSULATORS!!! and even inside or outside if anyone add electrons , they'll stick there , if there is net/unbalanced force is happening , naturally polarization happens and takes care of it.

    QUESTION(pls answer)
    Sir, I wanted to know why are conductors charged only on the surface and not on the inside .
    So, is the answer because the free electrons escape and accumulate at the edges and on the surfaces? Am I correct? If not, please explain me.

    • @ExplainIttoMe_1
      @ExplainIttoMe_1 6 років тому

      Akashdeep Singh When excess charge is placed on a conductor, they will repel each other. Because charges are free to move on a conductor, they move to get as far apart as possible, which is the surface of the object. Hope that helps.

    • @osamaanees8406
      @osamaanees8406 5 років тому +1

      Charged means more amount of electrons then proton or more proton then electrons. Inside a conductor there is an equal amount of electrons and protons something more electrons. When we will add more electrons those new added electrons will not be able to go inside the atom and the older electrons will push the new ones to the far edges of the object thus creating more electrons on that side then protons.

    Why a bulb does not glow if one end through which electrons can reach the bulb is connected to the battery and not the other??? Because in this case also, electrons can move to the bulb and provide their energy to the bulb

    • @kumargaurav1772
      @kumargaurav1772 4 роки тому +1

      Because the electrons are happy inside the battery and don't wanna leave. In scientific terms, there is no potential difference. If you can, there is also emf. The electrons move inside the battery from negative terminal to the positive terminal, they don't just sit there doing nothing. When wire is connected, it provides an alternate and easier path for them to reach the +ve terminal. But if you connect only one end, there is no alternate path. So electrons don't move.
      Edit: I think i should have just said, "Because there is no +ve charge attracting them", nvm.
