However, there're evidence (my apologies for not find the source; I explain it below) that images associated with text are as good as animations, if not superior. This phenomenon is related with "brain effort" to learn the schema, concept or principle.
      I remember Derek Muller (Veritasium) discuss it in one of his videos, but as I search through his channel, I couldn'r find it. It is in one of his videos about education and learning.

      carultch. Not only that. The electric phenomena is tridimensional, happens in the space around the circuit. At any given instant half of the energy is in the space and half in the circuit. Actually the energy is flowing from the battery to the space and from the space to the conductor. The Voltage, the electric force, is not like a pressure pushing the electrons, the Voltage is a field in the space. The magnetic field is not a waste product of the electrons movement, magnetic field stores energy in the space! The energy is flowing from the space to the wire perpendicularly.

    The mentioned fallacy states that a law which has been formulated is a mathematical representation for a model that describes something observable in the real world. That one model works together with all the other models may seem like a coincidental happenstance to critics of science, but it actually is a beautiful hint that the 'laws' are just implications of higher abstractions.
    Some people say scientists act like there is only one truth and they know it. Maybe some scientists are that way. But the truth is, scientists just state that their model works and fits in the picture.

      Exactly, even the voltage varies with the variation of the external resistance, due to the internal resistance of the real generator, the ohm law must be interpreted assuming the ideal case, the real case can always be traced to the summation of the ideal cases. Ohm's law is essential for calculating the circuit because it is very close to the ideal case.

    When showing a higher or lower value of resistor may be better by lengthening or shortening rather than make the resistor a smaller diameter for a smaller resistance; because typically a smaller diameter resistor does not indicate less resistance but more resistance.
    I also agree with a previous comment of "but that doesn't mean that the voltage drop across a ckt element is not proportional to the current flowing through it "

    @piotrmachowski 2 года назад +1

    Ohm's observation was that the apparent Potential drop across an ideal Resistor is proportional to the Current through it. So, V=RI would be the linear model accounting for V versus I data. Yet, one uses I-V characteristics, which gradient equals 1/R (conductance). This tells us how fast the charge transport can be through the Resistor.
    Hence, Resistance is a measure of the charge transport time!
    *R ~ t*
    Yet, in a real _ohmic_ resistor, temperature might increase with time, so the I-V slope changes, depending on the experimental procedure...

      can YOU please elaborate? THANKS.

    • @tom_something
      @tom_something 4 года назад +26

      ​@@naveensundar4765 Let's look at the statement that immediately precedes that one:
      "The fact that the number that we get at any given time is always equal to the resistance of the material is simply due to the fact that this is how we defined the word 'Resistance' in the first place."
      Let's say we had workers packing apples in a factory. We can create a value for each worker called "productivity" (P), which is the number of apples (A) they packed in a given period of time, divided by the number of hours that they worked (T).
      P = A / T
      A worker whose productivity is 500 can pack 500 apples in one hour (seems pretty slow, but we'll ignore that).
      Next, we make an observation: if we know a worker's productivity (P), then we can predict how many apples (A) they can pack in a given amount of time (T).
      A = PT
      This is a valid observation, however we haven't actually learned anything. P was already derived from A and T, so deriving A from P and T doesn't tell us anything new about the nature of our factory. At best, in this exercise we have learned about the multiplication property of equality, which allowed us to re-arrange the factors to solve for a different variables. In which case, we've learned something new about math, but not about apples, time, or productivity.
      I believe Khutoryansky was referring to circular logic. For example, a society might decide that drinking alcohol is immoral, so they make a law against it. Now it is illegal. It is illegal because it is immoral. Now, imagine someone new enters the society, and they discuss alcohol with some of the locals.
      "If you like to drink alcohol, we will not accept you as a friend. Drinking alcohol is wrong."
      "Why is it wrong?"
      "Because it is illegal. Only an immoral person would want to do something that is illegal."
      Then it isn't a discussion about alcohol at all. They are simply deriving immorality from illegality, when illegality was originally derived from immorality. This is a closed loop, where no new information is allowed out or in. In fact, we can't trace the origin of the "immorality" label for alcohol. How did it come to be immoral in the first place? "The Law of the Immorality of Alcohol", then, isn't a new law in the scientific sense. It's just a logical derivation of the previous "The Law of the Illegality of Alcohol".
      I believe this was the intended point. Not specifically about alcohol, of course.

      @@tom_something What about the equation for force then? Consider a mass, M, falling near earth's surface at acceleration g. We define force: F=Mg. But what if we did not actually know g, for whatever reason, and we knew M and F, then we could 'learn something new about the world' by finding g from g=F/M. But... Do we really learn something about the external world or just a construct of ours? We like to think of a force as a property of the physical world but that is ultimately based on acceleration and mass, and acceleration is based on time and velocity, which is based on position. The only 'tangible' things here are perhaps position, mass, and time. Does this make velocity, acceleration, and force a construct that is just as invented as resistance?

      @J7Handle 4 года назад

      @@Nelson-sr2bi Yes, in fact.
      Something that would qualify as an actual law of physics would be, say, the Law of Conservation of Momentum, or the Law of Conservation of Energy. Neither of those laws are derivable from our definitions of momentum or energy (p = mv or e = 1/2mv^2 as an example), or are they definitions of some other variable. Those laws genuinely tell us something about the universe, which is what separates them from simple definitions like F=ma.
      By the way, just because we chose to define things like velocity and acceleration doesn't mean that they aren't real. After all, the laws I mentioned actually rely on our definitions of mass and velocity to be meaningful.

    My high school teacher told us to think of resistance intuitively as of the amount of collisions that the electrons experience as they go through the wire, for example.: resistance increases with temperature because the atoms in the wire (or within the resistors) are vibrating more and thus are more likely to impede the path of the electrons; also the longer the resistor or the smaller its cross-sectional area, the more collisions. Is there any way to relate this approach to the existing definition of resistance as voltage/current ?

      I find it hard to believe that someone could learn these concepts easier by not seeing these diagrams. I know there are people who fair easier with audial or tactile stimulation when it comes to learning (or so it seems.) Let's say we take any person with all their senses intact and present to them these concepts in only one way: audial, tactile, or visual. It's hard for me to believe that someone could better learn about these physical phenomena with audial or tactile information but no visual. I'm not even that visual myself.
      For instance, I listen to audiobooks a lot and most of the time, I don't paint a clear picture in my head about the stories or topics being presented (probably because I'm usually driving lol.) I can still understand what's being said and ponder upon it without visualization. Still, I find these visual presentations about physics to be far more helpful than just listening or just physically tinkering or rearranging.
      I know I'm being biased about this but I would like to hear the perspective of someone who, if they only had one form of stimulation to choose from, would learn better with some stimulation other than visual.

    Khutoryansky's definition: "Physical laws tell us how the Universe works." ( 3:27 )
    Ohm's Law tells us that the resistance of an object at a certain time is equal to the voltage across the object at that time divided by the current through the object at that time.
    Because of Ohm's Law, if you know two of the three values (1. Resistance 2. Voltage 3. Current) for a certain object at a certain time, then you can calculate the third value of the object at that time. It is possible to calculate and consequently know the third value because Ohm's Law tells us how the three values work in the Universe.
    Ohm's Law tells us how a part of the Universe works, and thus is a law by Khutoryansky's definition of a physical law. The Universe works in way that when the resistance of an object changes (whether by temperature or some other change in the object), current through the object changes because the voltage across the object remains the same. Ohm's Law tells us about this way that the Universe works.
    "the statement doesn't actually tell us anything about the external world around us." ( 5:29 )
    The statement of Ohm's Law tells us how the resistance of an object, the voltage across the object, and the current through the object are related, like how the equation F = ma (Newton's Second Law) tells us how the force applied to an object will relate to the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object caused by that force.
    "There are many examples in logic where a statement is always true simply because of the way in which we created our definitions for the words, and the statement doesn't actually tell us anything about the external world around us." ( 5:19 )
    F = ma is always true because we have defined force as a thing measured in joules where 1 joule = 1 kg * 1 m/s^2, so of course X joules will equal Y kg * Z m/s^2.
    My first two paragraphs apply the same way to Newton's Second Law. Read them with the terms replaced:
    [Newton's Second Law] tells us that the [force applied to an object] is equal to the [mass of the object] [multiplied] by the [acceleration of the object caused by that force].
    Because of [Newton's Second Law], if you know two of the three values (1. [Force] 2. [Mass] 3. [Acceleration]) for a certain object at a certain time, then you can calculate the third value of the object at that time. It is possible to calculate and consequently know the third value because [Newton's Second Law] tells us how the three values work in the Universe.
    If I am missing something, please explain. I will try my best to understand.

      +Blake Callahan, in the case of F = mA, force is defined independently of this equation. For example, we have laws for how forces on charged particles are generated as the result of electric and magnetic fields. On the other hand, in the case of R=V/I, resistance is defined entirely by this equation. F=mA relates how something which already has a definition (force) relates to other observable quantities. On the other hand, R=V/I does nothing other than to just create a definition for the quantity "V/I".

    • @blakecallahan4257

    • @EugeneKhutoryansky
      @EugeneKhutoryansky  8 лет назад +6

      +Blake Callahan, in the case of an electromagnetic force, we have F = q[E + v x B].
      This is just one example, as other types of forces have other equations.

    • @juanpablomina1346
      @juanpablomina1346 8 лет назад +4

      +Eugene Khutoryansky I'm not sure I understand your logic regarding what makes a law. Newton tells us force is the time derivative of momentum. That's true, according to him. Then, we find other ways to calculate force, as you pointed out in your comment. But wouldn't it just be another way to calculate the time derivative of momentum?
      If you say Ohm's law is not a law because resistance is only a way to define V/I, wouldn't force just be another way to define dp/dt, thus making it not a law?
      I really liked your video, by the way. Great job!

    • @juanpablomina1346
      @juanpablomina1346 8 лет назад +4

      Also, you seem to say Newton's laws are actual laws because there were other ways to measure it, like the electromagnetic force. But I think there weren't other ways to calculate force before Newton published his Principia. In that case, his equations only became actual laws (according to your definition) when other people came up with different ways to calculate dp/dt?

    But as the resistor changes value with temperature, the current flowing through that resistor also changes as V/R right? Or is this about the difference between an analytical law vs an empirical law? Mathematical laws are self consistent in mathematical "space". But as soon as you assign a mathematical law to explain the behavior of an empirical phenomena, that mathematical law becomes provisional- just as a theory is provisional. Who's to say what new phenomena will be discovered? Otherwise I like your presentation!

    I am not sure about this definition thing, as far as I know (let me know where I am wrong) resistance is defined as a property of an object, much like line in geometry is defined as an "undefinable object" and the law tells us how a few of such values are connected, much like geometrical axioms tell us the relationships between the "undefinable" elements: lines, dots, planes, space...
    This way you can always polish the law without being concerned about definition: what if it doesn't work in high/low temperatures, close to light speeds or in an uninertial system? You don't have to change the definition, only the law, if it proves easier to do that (because of some other laws regarding the same values).

  • @SatishchandraSalam
    @SatishchandraSalam 4 года назад

    1. There are preconditions to this law such as 'under constant temperature' which is to imply that the law would be talking about a simplified model of real life system like most laws in physics. Therefore, it is to be used more as a guideline rather than as a law beyond textbooks.
    2. The statement is also not R=V/R. Ohm's law statement is that current flowing (the effect) is proportional to voltage (the cause) across the resistor. Resistance is only the constant of proportionality to represent the law as an equality.
    Therefore, the law is not responsible for a variable resistance. Even under changing conditions (under the preconditions mentioned in 1), the law still holds.

    Why doesn't current reduce with each round? Like it's speed reduces due to resistance each time it passes through the resistor. And if my logic is wrong then we shouldn't add resistances in series because if speed doesn't reduce each time then it should only reduce once

Now one would say resistivity is self defined But no we can also relate it to fundamental physical quantities like mass of an electron , charge of an electron , relaxation time and number charge density(no. of electrons per unit volume).
    (further doubts) Isn't this the reason why Ohm's law specifically states that it's under constant temperature and physical conditions.

    Are you saying Ohm's Law isn't a law because ultimately is just a definition?
    In that case, would Newton's second law of motion just be a definition of force and not a law?

    • @EugeneKhutoryansky
      @EugeneKhutoryansky  8 лет назад +27

      +didles123, Newton's second law of motion does not suffer from this problem because "Force" is already defined independently of Newton's second law. For example, we have equations describing how forces are generated on charged particles due to electric and magnetic fields, and this is separate from Newton's laws. Newton's second law relates how this force that is generated will relate to the object's acceleration, and hence this is a statement about the external universe around us, and not merely a matter of semantics.

    • @kennethflorek8532
      @kennethflorek8532 8 лет назад +2

      +Eugene Khutoryansky Although I have never heard it put as plainly before, I think your statement about Ohm's Law makes sense, and that distinguishing between it and Force = Mass times acceleration is being timid. I have heard it said that the force law mutually defines force and mass. We do not know what the property mass is except for the acceleration produced by some force. And we do not know what a force is except for the acceleration of some mass.
      But in fact both equations slip something by our content detectors, while being definitions. Thus if we combine 7 (or whatever) equal masses and subject them to the same force as one mass, their acceleration is claimed to be one seventh. If we take 7 equal resistances in series and subject them to the same voltage as one, the current is claimed to by one seventh.
      It is logically possible that 7 equal masses combined, and subjected to the same force as one, would accelerate differently than one seventh as much. We could just claim that the true mass was not found by adding, and figure the mass.
      It is logically possible that 7 equal resistances in series subjected to the same voltage as one would conduct a current different than one seventh.
      We could just claim that resistances did not add, and figure the resistance.

      You are right as this essentially is a DC circuit. The resistor upper terminal is positive and the lower one negative. Or the lecturer tried to draw the "counter vector" with same colour. In my ham radio training in the early 1980's the voltage drop was explained to be a counter vector of same size but opposite direction as the voltage measured accross the resistor. At that time they taught that the current flowing thru the load resistor gives rise to the voltage drop (counter vector) which has to be substracted from the battery voltage.

    I think you missed the point of Ohm's law.
    The law doesn't say that the voltage divided by the current is the
    resistance.
    It states that: The current through a conductor between two points is
    directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
    Now, the constant of proportionality is what we call the resistance.
    .
    In other words: Ohm's law states: V is directly proportional to I
    Definition of the resistance is R=V/I

      This is already known.. Same as Hook's law (for example) is an approximation and is not applied in all cases to all elastic objects.
      But your misunderstanding of the law is in your interpretation of the law as merely the definition of resistance..It is not that: as I said above.
      So it is a "law" (limited .. I know !) and not a "definition" as you said in the video.

      It is not the formula E = IR nor the direct and inverse proportionality of the 3 physical entities/information.

  • @carultch
    @carultch 7 лет назад +3

    V=I*R is not really Ohm's Law. V=I*R is how we define resistance, as you have clearly stated. A better formula for Ohm's law is dR/dV = 0 and dR/di = 0.
    Ohm's law is that resistance is not a function of electrical operating conditions. Given a resistor of a material that doesn't change identity or geometry, that is maintained at a particular temperature by an independent system, its ratio of voltage to current is the same no matter what the voltage or current is. That is what Ohm's law is.
