    I start getting why the MIT is so prestigeous. Professors like you are capable of perfectly explaining something to the students without confusing them. I am currently studying electrical engineering at the Technical University in Vienna and here are the students the ones, that have to understand stuff out of books instead of listening of such great lectures. i guess everyone has it a bit different and their way of learning may vary, but the finishing pount is the same for everyone. thank you for sharing your knowledge in your unique way.

      Not necessarily the case.
      First, books will always teach you extra stuff, you can definitely graduate from pretty much any University if you understand the lectures, but those students who read always end up knowing much more, this is a truth that is often omitted, the main factor that determines the level of education is the student. The reason MIT students are so good is because it is damn hard to get in, thats pretty much the only thing prestige does to a university.
      Keep in mind that prestige comes in great part from research and there are great researchers that are bad teachers, in pretty much every university you will always find some good, some bad, and if you are lucky some excellent teachers.
      As long as you have capabilities and will to always go beyond what is taught in class, you can always get an MIT level education, its just that if you actually went to MIT the world will recognise you more.

    Wow......you sir are AMAZING. I mostly had no idea what you were talking and writing about but as a 17 yr employed automotive technician that uses an oscilloscope literally daily, u were directly describing ptc and ntc style thermistors. A negative temperature coefficient thermistor or variable resistor is the most commonly style engine temperature sensor used in automobiles. Temperature up, resistance down. The lab scope is also used for issues pertaining to variable relector, hall effect...whatever sensors controlled by a transistor driver ( fuel injectors, ignitions coils, output solenoids, etc.....) Again....have no clue what you are saying but it is addicting and badass. I could listen to you all day.

    Thank you so much for your lectures dear Prof. Walter Lewin. They are very inspiring. Please let me show some doubts about the last demonstration of the lecture:
    1) The charge detected by the electroscope is due to a bulk conduction process through the soles or a surface conduction process over the soles, the shoes,... (or both processes)?
    2) The charge detected by the electroscope could be an induced one by the charge created is the low surface of the soles during the scuffing? I know that a opposite charge is generated in the pad by the scuffing, but perhaps it can easily go to earth and have a net charge in the soles that could cause an induced charge in your body.
    3) The electroscope null response when you stop the scuffing is due to the fact that the charge goes to earth through your body with the shoes. Do you think that can play a role the charge recombination in the interface between the sole and the pad?
    4) It could be interesting and informative to repeat the experiment but placing bellow the pad a thick plate of teflon or fused silica to prevent the charge leakage to earth. Perhaps the electroscope do not discharge even when you stop the scuffing. Or may be the electroscope is discharged due to the recombination mentioned in 3) even when the leakage to earth is not posible.
    Thank you so much.

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  9 лет назад +1

      +Anery Patel ha ha ha, I am sure I am not the only physics Professor who is a bit crazy. If the V-I curve is NOT a straight line then Ohm's law is not very useful. If it is a straight line but if it does not go through zero, Ohm's law is also useless. Ohm's law requires that when V = 0, I is also 0. However, a very interesting case is a resistor made of superconductive material. Thus R=0. There cannot be any potential difference over the R as that would give an infinite current. Thus 0=I*0 (consistent with Ohm's law). I can be anything. I can be hundreds of A. That's being used with maglev trains.

      Okay. I see it now. Basically, for Ohm's law to hold good, V=IR must hold true, whatever the case may be(temperature being constant). And talking about the superconductors, how much ever voltage we apply the potential drop will be zero because resistance of the material is zero and so current will be infinite. I hope I understood it correctly.

      Lectures by Walter Lewin. They will make you ♥ Physics.​
      But as far as I know to "push" the current through any material, a voltage or potential difference across its end is required. And if I don't apply any voltage or potential difference across the ends of superconductor, how can the current pass through it? And it is only then when we realize that the potential drop across the material is zero and we come to a conclusion that it has infinite conductance.

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  9 лет назад

      +Anery Patel There are various ways to create a current in a superconductor. One way that comes immediately to mind is that you start the current when the material is not yet a superconductor. The temperate is too high. You apply a voltage and you create a current. Now you lower the temperature and the material becomes superconductive. The current will keep going and the voltage over the super conductor becomes zero. I suggest you search the web to find other ways how very high currents can be created through superconductors in the LHC (at Cern) and in maglev trains.

    _Drift velocity_ v{d} _is the average velocity attained by charged particles in a material due to an electric field._
    _The drift velocity of an electron for a unit electric field is called the mobility of the electron._

    Superconductors have zero resistance.

    Since R is zero
    Current should be infinite
    But what is infinite current?
    And if there is no infinite current how much current flows in a superconductor?

    Would it be possible theoretically to give an electric shock to a person on the other side of the earth, if we had high enough voltage?

    He is right, if forgot to discharge static charge it may follow by the electron dust (Just saw the news about passenger plane hit unknown object, I expecting the light bolt). 🛩⚡

    as we increase the potential difference the electric field increases , as the electric field increases the drift velocity increases ,now this means that the current should reduce as the electrons always oppose the current . but this not so because on increasing the potential difference the current increases .

      postive charges (protons) cannot move in a solid. Only the electrons can they go AGAINST the E-field as the force on them is q*E and q is negative.

    • @akshaymehrotra6527
      @akshaymehrotra6527 8 лет назад

      confused !! not able to judge any direction of current , u said that by convention we take the direction of current same as the direction of positive charges but positive charges cannot move through solid hence the electrons flow from lower potential towards the higher potential and hence constituting the current which is in the direction opposite to that of the convention . and now through battery in which there is liquid the positive charges should move and hence the current is in the opposite direction to that of the the current in the circuit

    Sir , why is Drift velocity = EeT/m not EeT/2m since it is the average velocity of electrons?
    Another question:
    Why T(tao) remains same when temperature and material remains same? The T is the average time of Collison of electrons and since the drift velocity is higher in higher E(electric field) the collison time would get shorter. But this is not shown in you derivation at starting calculating the speed of electrons and I Current

    At 6:17 you derived the speed of electrons in that conductor. Then how come current flows within just the flick of a switch?
    Thank you, sir.

    Hello, thanks for the free lecture! I have a question: Why doesen't 𝛕 (tau the time between collisions) go down when the Electric field goes up? Why does it stay constant even though we applied a force to the electrons and they now are accelerated? Thanks!

    • @chappie3642
      @chappie3642 2 года назад

      I suppose it's because as was shown previously the effect of the electric field is almost entirely negligible when compared to that of temperature, and either way the time an electron takes to crash against a particle is probably the average one, so if the electric field pushes some of the electrons towards crashing maybe (and I mean maybe) it will then prevent other electrons from crashing somewhere else, meaning that its effect on 𝛕 ends up being cancelled

    When scuffing the shoes: Does the charge on the sole INDUCE a charge separation in the body, which is then registered by the electroscope?
    Or is charge actually flowing THROUGH the sole up into the body and the electroscope?
    Thank you so much for these lectures!

  • @thegzak

    Question about problem 3.1(b) - you say that since charge cannot flow into or out of the circled part of the circuit, that the charge must be symmetrically distributed. But doesn't that also mean that there is no current through that part of the circuit? If so, how does the current "resume" to the right of this portion of the circuit? There must be sparks going between the plates as they reach saturation, at which point there _is_ a current going through the circled portion... No?

    Dear Professor Walter Lewin. At 01:44 you said that the free electrons in copper have a speed, an average speed of about a million meters per second. Can you please share with me how do we know that? In addition, not only me but also my family thank you very much for your amazing lectures.

    Sir suppose there is bulb. When it is cold its resistance is low than when it is hot. As we know power of the bulb=i2R. Therefore power of bulb is higher when bulb is at room temperature and its power decreases when it becomes hot. It means power of the bulb decreases as its temperature increases. Sir it means that when we switch on the bulb its power must be high and after some time its power must be less. Sir than why not bulb show much glow when we switch on the bulb and why not its glow decreases after switch on the bulb because temperature is increases hence resistance must be increases but current decrease hence power must be decreases Sir.
    Thanks Sir

    Hi Professor Walter, thanks for the fantastic lectures.
    I have a question: What would happen if you would touch de van de graaf while wearing your shoes?
    The charge of the VDG (the one you commonly used during your lectures) is only 10uC, so I can't figure out what would happen. I could come up with the follow (probably wrong) hypothesis:
    I assumed that you would experience a current from the VDG to ground, which would be limited by the VDG charge. The "tricky" part is that since the current flow is I = dQ/dt and Ohm's law gives us 100mA, it means the VDG can't provide enough current to keep that up unless it would get charged almost instantly. My (probably incorrect) conclusion is that therefore you would just end up feeling a initial shock, and if you could hold on the sphere after the shock, you would end up acting as a path for the current between the VDG and ground. Since the moving belt inside the VDG would start inducing more charge on the sphere, you would experience a (very low) current flow by the induced charge. All of this is assuming that the initial current could cause some muscle contraction but wouldn't harm you any further.
    Where did I go wrong?
    Once again thanks for the fantastic lectures, they are really unmatched. They make me love physics again and have been an excellent entertainment source every single day since I found out about them.
    Thank you!

    Sir, I have two questions,
    First, you said that resistivity increases with increase in temperature but when you heated up the air the electroscope showed more deviation which means resistivity of air decreased and both these statements contradict.
    Second, can you please explain the part that why the 2 billion resistance of the shoe is very low for the experiments you carry.

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  6 лет назад +1

      resistivity of solids increases with temperature. When you heat air you create ions and that lowers the resistivity
