Great video! A bit of constructive criticism: you tend to use the therm "atom" in incorrect ways. In general you should be useing "particle" instead of "atom" to be safe. (An atom is a neutral particle by definition. And an ionised atom is an ion. An ion can be any charged particle but an atom consist of only one chemical element. "Hydroxide ion atom" sounds very very unprofessional, instead you should use the therm Hydroxide ion or if you want to hydroxide ion particle.)
I'll be honest for some reason I always thought that electricity flowed from positive to negative but now that I've started an engineering apprenticeship, I've wanted answers to my questions. Thank you for your explanations and videos. it's truly sad that teachers and school curriculums could not explain it this well. :)
I am 32 years old and I recently became really interested in electricity for some weird reason. I started to remember some of the questions about electricity that I had a kid... I'll be honest, I feel betrayed by my country's education system. I can see myself working in something related to engineering but I just never knew any of this at the right age... I am doing well in my current career as a finance/excel guy... I am thinking I could go back to school and try something else.
@@JorgeOrozco-hv9rsit's just easier to learn as an adult because we have more understanding of what's going on, plus technology progressed and there are lots of visual aid to assist learning. Don't blame your teachers.
Crazy how simple he makes it. I’m studying IT at the moment and had to learn electronic fundamentals for 6 months straight. Learning electron flow is crazy to grasp, but he definitely breaks it down in such a simple way. I watched this because even after just finishing studying this stuff, I still felt I didn’t completely understand how electricity is generated. After this video I feel much more confident in my understanding. There’s a reason we’re required to go through 6 months of this learning before being allowed to touch a PC, because it’s very complex and is extremely difficult to learn in just a couple RUclips videos. Appreciate the knowledge!
The fact that these are animated makes them so much better than traditional static education. It's so hard to imagine how electrical theories work when some spod is scribbling them haphazardly on a whiteboard.
honestly, if hes writing from his own brain memory, then theres some chance he understands it. Otherwise, if he copies from his or someone eleses notes , then probably he doesnt even understand what hes teaching....Too many followers in the "Science" religion, but very few real old-school scientists.....
To my knowledge, the negative terminal is the anode, even for diodes. Make sure you're not bring confused by the difference between conventional current and electron flow.
Electrons move from anode to cathode when discussing conventional current, but you're correct when stating that diodes are typically represented as anode (+) and cathode (-). Take the simple LED, for example, and how it's shown in your average electrical diagram.
Yes. This comes from chemistry, where anode is the place that loses electrons (oxidation), and chaode is the electrode that gains electrons (reduction) in the process. As you said :) . Fun fact: if you force electrons backwards with an outside force like in a rechargable battery, than the electrodes switch sides. the - marked side of the battery will be the cathode.
@@EngineeringMindsetif the chemical reaction takes place only when the circuit is complete? How can we measure voltage across it... voltmeter is a high resistance device right so ideally open circuit and no reaction and no voltage should be seen...pls clarify
In India, school teachers don't care that much about explaining the students in depth because they know that almost every child goes to tuition aside from school. India Ki KAHANI.
Hi great video, but either I confused myself (easy to do) or perhaps you misspoke at time frame 2:51. You said the 1st layer is the "Anode" a mixture of Manganese Oxide and Graphite, then a fibrous barrier, a alkaline electrolyte, then a Zinc powder Anode. Anode,barrier,Anode! At 9:55 a picture shows Manganese as Cathode! So in a way if ppl truly pay attention or waiting for the cathode to come into the picture, 9:55 will grab their attn. Quite possible, I misunderstood everything from beginning to end...in which case, I greatly apologize.
Yep, this generates opposite voltage where electrons move to the end they initially came from but ofcourse original reaction will be far more complicated than this but this basic idea.
Thank you and your team so much ❤️. I'm living in Iran, and I couldn't find any useful video about this topic in Persian, so I started to search in English and finally found you're video
"In an alkaline battery, the electrolyte is potassium hydroxide (KOH) in a solution of water. It is in contact with the anode material and helps ions and electrons flow." He left this part out, just encase the water part blew your mind
This is awesome, thank you so much. A few questions, if you happen to see this and have the time 1 - How can the membrane be porous enough to allow ions to pass through, but not electrons (which are smaller, no)? Is it saturated with the electrolyte so together its solid, and the electrolyte has a specific breakdown voltage/dielectric strength? or am i missing something 2 - At 3:30 you say the electrolyte is sprayed on the inside of the fibrous membrane, but then at 8:59 the electrolyte is labeled outside the fibrous membrane - which is it? This may already be covered in whatever the answer is to my first question 3- It would be really helpful to see the chemical equations written out - you say in reduction the H20 used gets replaced by one rejected in oxidation, but you didn't indicate an H20 being rejected and I can't seem to piece it together using the chemical equation Again thank you so much, this video was super helpful!
They say a picture speaks a thousand words but your video speaks a million. I'm looking for a high quality battery charger and this video expertly covers some of my ancillary research.
Wow! I started watching and paused it at 1:02. I then lipped "WTF!" along with a roadrage arm gesture because I could not get a simple easy to understand from other resources. This could have saved me so much trouble. Thank You.
What they teach us at school: Electricity is electricity, and electricity is dangerous, so don't mess around with it. So yes, I know everything about it from the internet, parents hate so much
A practical point: the batteries described in the video are the non leaking kind marked with "LR". There is an other kind of very leaky alkaline battery that has the zinc on the outside as a caseing. They consume their caseing while dischargeing and eventually leak out. They are marked "R" try to avoid them.
Great videos. You answer so many things (without being overwhelming) that many others skip over as well as not over relying on analogies that break down the deeper into them you get.
Excellent information, very informative. Although, the graphic at 0:47, which showcases electron flow, insinuates that the negative electrode is the cathode, and the positive electrode is the anode. At 2:13 the anode is said to be negative, and cathode is said to be positive, but in practice the reverse is the accepted standard. Cathode is generally the negative electrode.
The Engineering Mindset is very spot on about the nameing of the electrodes. The terms anode and catode does not indicate the polarity of the electrode. They only show the direction of the chemical reaction (oxidation or reduction where anode is always the electrode with oxidation).

This channel gives me ASMR chills. I still don't get series circuits with batteries. It seems to me that the positive and negative terminals that touch would just short circuit and the power would be wasted. As far as I'm aware, the chemicals are charged from the factory, meaning that as soon as the connection is made, electricity flows and they can become neutral. If this is the case, then the original circuit through the load won't result in further voltage coming out the negative terminal. Doesn't connecting the positive and negative terminals satisfy the condition to discharge the battery? Why would it result in greater voltage? Also, how come series circuits don't discharge when they're connected, even without the load circuit being completed? They are only partially open, there is still at least one connected cathode/anode. Series circuits just don't make sense to me. Parallel circuits don't have this problem at all.
Thanks, Engineering mindset Your videos are really knowledgeable and easy to understand. Requesting if you could make videos on all utilities/equipments installed in a data center or advancements in data center or videos providing deep knowledge of data center in various departments such as IBMS/network/HVAC/Electrical/firefighting, etc.
Guys, just peep into the 'inductors and capacitors' videos of the same channel. I literally sat dumbstruck upon seeing the animation and method of explaining the working. Respect from India!!!! Cheers!!
Finally a good explanation. The other channels try to explain it with 1 sentence like "yeeeah this is the cathode and thats the anode and thats how a battery works" ... like.. OK I guess.
Nice one! You'll be lucky. We don't really know fully how they work. We can explain electromagnets as what is essentially a quantum-relativistic effect of what happens in a conductor with a potential difference applied across its length. The stuff in permanent magnets is harder to explain.
You guys are awesome! You have helped me so much in understanding how things work! It has really helped with my electrical class I'm taking in the us :) thanks!
At 13:23 what do you mean my "boosted". That never made sense to me. The electrons that enter the bottom battery just enter it and make that chemical reaction in that battery. Why would more electrons gatter in the negative terminal of the bottom battery then on the top one?
So, I will try to answer your question in a way that I understand. Each battery has a certain number of electrons that are concentrated in the lower electrode in equilibrium due to the repulsion between them. When you connect two batteries in series, electrons from the bottom of one battery flow to the top electrode of the other battery due to a voltage difference. This current creates a reduction reaction at the cathode of the other battery, which in turn forces new electrons to rise. As a result, more electrons are stacked on the bottom of the battery, creating a new state of equilibrium.
@@DjAlon3 Are you sure about this? I have the same issue with power supplies. If you connect two 5V power supplies in series you get 10V across them. But why, how? I understand that this is happening, but it makes no sense to me. The first power supply/ battery gives +5V compared with the negative side; the second power supply/ battery should have 0V on its "negative" end compared with the voltage on the "positive" end of the first battery. So the voltage across the tow power supplies/ batteries should be also 5V. Even if you think about the flow of electrons it makes no sense: The electrons are going in the first power supply attracted by it with 5V, they leave that first power supply with 0V... english is not my first language and is hard to explain, but do you understand what I am trying to say?
ok ...so you get a lot of great positive comments..and here's why..you combine the science in its simplest explanation with the principles and you create a clear unmuddled pathway of understanding ..complete with great graphics..therre should be some sort of Award for this ..if not heres to "THE BEST SCIENCE VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE!:..
Extra Note: The potential difference in a battery comes from the inherent properties of the anode and cathode materials, not from an electron build-up. Redox reactions occur only when the battery is connected to an external circuit, so there's no electron build-up when it's idle (i.e. not connected to an external circuit). Both oxidation and reduction reactions happen simultaneously and depend on each other. Ion movement within the electrolyte maintains neutrality, while electron movement causes electricity. Direct electron flow from anode to cathode would result in a short circuit.
I came here just because I was curious about batteries but you cleared some basic topics of my studies which always confused me while getting harder topics. So thankU for that too...
Love the video. Quick question though...At 2.52, did he misspeak and call the first layer of manganese oxide an anode? Isn't that the cathode? At 9 minutes, he labels the manganese the cathode

Extra Note: The potential difference in a battery comes from the inherent properties of the anode and cathode materials, not from an electron build-up. Redox reactions occur only when the battery is connected to an external circuit, so there's no electron build-up when it's idle (i.e. not connected to an external circuit). Both oxidation and reduction reactions happen simultaneously and depend on each other. Ion movement within the electrolyte maintains neutrality, while electron movement causes electricity. Direct electron flow from anode to cathode would result in a short circuit.
I came here just because I was curious about batteries but you cleared some basic topics of my studies which always confused me while getting harder topics. So thankU for that too...
Just one thing to say ...THANK YOU !!!😃
Great video. Thoroughly explained!
Благодарим ви!
Thank you!
Great video dude!
I just love this video. It finally resolved my confusion 👍
very good explanation
Great video! Thanks!
This video has helped me pass my exams really appreciate it engineer mindset a big up😱😱😱😱😱😱
I finally learned *why* voltage stays the same when sources are placed in parallel. Thanks!!
Superb class...thanks for this one...valuable😊
I appreciate your work so much
Thankyou very much Sirrrrr ......♥️♥️♥️ I love the way you explain these thing .
Nice illustrations 😊
Thank you
Love the video. Quick question though...At 2.52, did he misspeak and call the first layer of manganese oxide an anode? Isn't that the cathode? At 9 minutes, he labels the manganese the cathode
