As soon as he said current is the flow of electrons, he lost me. Anyone ever hear of the Poynting vector? Electrons don't flow through transformers, and electron drift is very slow. Seriously, a person who has worked decades in this area should know this. We need to stop talking about current as flow of electrons - it's incorrect. Current is actually the flow of electromagnetic energy. Electrons don't flow, they drift and very slowly. But either way, I think that the presentation was interesting. We need more qualitative informational videos like this.
In respect to your answer, yes. Current is the push of the electron flow. We measure that and make reference to it. Example ; power you know is measured in watts = Current X Voltage or volume of electrons pushed by the height of the storage tank. Now conversions in mechanical sense in numbers to get a feeling of it, 746 watts = 550 ft/lbs gives you a reference for its ability.
I kinda wished the narrator spoke more concise with regards to his information to capture his audience better. His implied attempt was not up to speed for the information he possessed!
@@paultravers2154 Honestly, Paul, it is a shame that as an expert in his field that he would describe electrical current as the flow of electrons when it is most definitely not. One could consider current as the flow of charge, but even then it is not. It is the movement of electromagnet energy through flux from source to sink. You answer to my original post was not really answer. Check out this video to learn more. ruclips.net/video/vjFefDCIje0/видео.html&ab_channel=Veritasiumenespa%C3%B1ol
Right hand rule ! magnetic field perpendicular to electron / current flow! So watch the hand!!
Rautio?
