      @deang5622 2 роки тому

      It's only 4 weeks of education if you're mentally slow.
      In my country the material is covered by two courses, a physics course and a chemistry course, which run concurrently for two years, along side many other courses that also run concurrently.
      So it's perfectly reasonable then for one course to teach its material at a different time to the other, and let's suppose the material is taught 4 months apart.
      It is then not reasonable to say it's 4 months of education. The correct way is to say "it takes 2 hours of education" because each lesson is 1 hour long.
      Let's not exaggerate .

      Sorry to say but its misconception that electron flow from one terminal of battery to other in fact they oscillate so little that their movement is negligible, its the electric field and magnetic field that carry the energy around. electrons stay in approximately the same space.
      electrons do not carry energy from battery to bulb its the fields.

      Gabriella KAO “the move of electrons” its hard to truly understand them without deriving the meaning and interpretation from mathematics. You can search “quantum numbers” it will help you clarify some topics, try to understand the meaning of each if the quantum numbers, do not try to translate things like the spin of an electron to classical spins in the macro world.

  • @jahnvisingh8015

    The best thing about this video is that it teaches things in the correct order. In most of the books, they teach about electric current first and then explain charges and all the other things. However, it is quite confusing at the beginner level to imagine something you never actually get to see. The use of daily life examples helps to actually relate to what happens inside a wire when electric current flows through it even though it is not accurate. I am very helpful to the creators of this video and the team working behind it. I appreciate your hard work and would definitely suggest this to my friends.

    That's a really nice explanation. It contains an error, though, beginning about 9:39, when you say that the depicted short circuit can be dangerous because the electrons do not encounter resistance. In fact, it's the resistance of the wire that makes this dangerous as the resistance produces heat. If the wire had no resistance, then the flow of electrons would not produce heat.

    This is the mainstream teaching of electricity and it is a simplified format to be able to understand it much like a beginners guide, crucially though some very big key areas of the video are incorrect, the demonstration of electrons carrying the energy(charge) around a circuit is not correct and in fact on average the electrons will only migrate in the region of mm/hr in DC circuits, AC circuits actually sees the electrons just vibrate about their position any never really going anywhere.
    What is happening when you link 2 points with a potential difference (pd) with a conductor is the propagation of the elecromagnetic field (emf) at close to light speed although this speed varies depending on the conducting material, this emf around the conductor is what interacts with the valence electrons and causes them to slowly migrate from Negative to Positive in DC and about their position in AC, the actual energy travels not through the conductor but around it in the field that is created, like mentioned already this field interacts with the electrons but not really central of the conductor but around the surface of the conductor to a depth reflective of the strength of the field, this is known as the skin effect.
    It still amazes me mainstream education teaches us electricity flows from positive to negative (the video was correct to some extent by getting the direction of electron migration right), also this idea electrons are racing through the conductor at close to light speed is another total misconception, i realise the atomic and quantum world are much more complex than we can expect to lay on our children but at least they should be introducing them with accurate information and not misleading stuff.

      It's easy to make analogy,
      think of sound,
      sound is not some particles traveling through air,
      but just a wave that propagates through air.
      Air is a medium through which sound travels,
      just like that,
      Electrons are a medium through which electricity travels,
      electrons only enable a charge to propagate in a certain direction,
      nothing more,
      electrons themselves can't move fast as light, as that would be impossible.

      @edocsil1635 6 років тому +2

      I would assume the reason why they teach this incorrect method is that it's easier for beginners to understand like you said. If one were to study electricity in the beginning as it actually were, then they would just get confused right off the bat. Ik I probably would be confused for a good while until I study it thoroughly

    • @wbeaty

      @Moses Q No, it's taught incorrectly because other sources teach it incorrectly, and the author copies their earlier teachers, never questioning any errors. It's the childhood "game of Telephone" where the errors built up over decades, and now the teachers themselves possess brains full of wrong information. They infect the next generation of K12 students with the same errors.
      Nobody designed such bad, erroneous material. Instead it was produced by a near-total lack of corrective feedback, which leads to process of gradual distortion, created over an entire century.
      Why does it happen? Simple: the publishers of K6 material have no need to remove errors. (Removing errors requires accepting their existence, and THAT must never happen! For large publishing companies, any admission of the slightest error can cost millions or more in lost sales via state textbook-selection committees. Hence, errors in textbooks are actively, even *fiercely* fought, and preserved against correction or even changes.)
      Electric current is electron-flow? Wrong. That only applies to metals/silicon/carbon. For example, no electrons flow through human bodies, or through salt water, or battery acid, or the ground. When you get shocked touching a doorknob, no electrons flow through your flesh. People have no free electrons inside (that's metal crystals only. And graphite too.) Protons can flow as an electric current ...just not in metals. Electric current is CHARGE FLOW, and different types of conductors have different types of charges flowing.
      When scuffing on carpets, electrons aren't transferred (electron-transfer applies to single atoms and chemistry, not to frictional charging of solids, where entire ions are transferred.) Why isn't this explained? Simple: the author clearly doesn't know it. The author doesn't know that entire atoms get transferred during frictional charging, or that protons commonly flow, or that during currents in salt water, no electrons flow at all. (They no doubt picked up the common "electricity is electrons" misconception from their own education, and now are passing it along to everyone.)
      The path for current is *through* the battery, then back out again. The animated pathway must go through the battery. Yet it does not? No current through the electrolyte? This error ruins the entire concept of "electric circuit!" Circuits are complete loops, and batteries act as charge-pumps, with the path for charges passing through the battery electrolyte. (Batteries don't supply the charges being pumped.)
      That's just a few of the errors. To do it right, one must first locate all the many misconceptions being spread by grade-school textbooks. But before that, first one must accept the fact that grade-school textbooks are simply brim-full with errors and childhood misconceptions (errors that the teachers themselves believe, and refuse to ever fix. The situation is created and preserved by publishers, companies who would be greatly harmed if the errors they've been spreading were ever accepted as being real.)
      One must confront the fact that, unless we have decades of experience, then we have a head full of physics-misconceptions, the same misconceptions that teachers and textbooks are spreading. If teachers and authors knew how electricity actually worked, they would easily give a simplified and error-free lessons, rather than instead copying earlier textbooks, and thus spreading both the good information as well as every bit of the bad.
      Search for lists of electricity misconceptions. You'll find that many appearing in those lists, are also appearing in this video.
      But that must be OK, right?
      After all, if every person has acquired the same serious disease, then it becomes OK to never attempt a cure. Widespread disease must always be tolerated ...because its widespread! If everyone has a disease, then maybe for some reason it must be important to catch it, and to suffer, right? After all, diseases cannot just spread all by themselves, correct? Therefore the suffering must be important, intentional, and also some unknown experts in the past must have set up the situation on purpose!!! (No. It's simply a disease. It arose and spread spontaneously. And if the cure is simple, all suffering is needless. But those with the disease will fight you.)

      @Alexandre Alves No, the mistakes in this video have nothing to do with quantum mechanics or their analogies.
      The author just has a head full of childhood misconceptions, same as the "viral load" of mistakes carried by most grade-school textbooks. To get the actual good stuff we cannot get it from K6 publishers: companies who have no pressure (or need) to produce accurate material. (They just have to satisfy parent-groups. And also they must make certain that any errors in their books are the same errors found in books from other sources. That way they can deny their existence, and defeat any outsider who complains about the mistakes.)
      The mistakes are easily removed. But most K12 authors will instead fight to the death, rather than to accept that their knowledge and writings are full of mistakes, or that they've been spreading those mistakes widely. Thus, the problem persists. Tolstoy: "I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives."
      It's the rare, exceptional author who will fight to perceive their own mistakes, rather than fighting against anyone who dares point them out.
