    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

  • @martynmart8691
    @martynmart8691 7 лет назад

    I didn't quite get why the voltage drops with 16 V in this one "arm" (10:50). The voltage is 16 V and this is the sum of all the voltage- drops in each arm. So the voltage in one arm should be V1 = 16V - V2 shouldn't it?
    Or is this special to this problem with parallel resistors? I feel like I didn't quite get the thing with voltage.
    Voltage is the potential. When charge/ electrons are in a resistor, they basically give away energy. By impulse, friction, whatever. The potential gets lower but there still has to be some since the electrons eventually reach the + pole. Right? I see that the current drops and the resistance increases, but why exactly is it 60 volt? Why isn't it 30 since the voltage is the sum of the voltage in each arm?

    Heya,
    I think a good word to describe the flow of current in the conventional direction is to express it as electrons jumping through free spaces between atoms, and conventional current as being the flow of 'holes' or 'gaps'.
    Thanks heaps for your work, you're going to get me through an Electrical Engineering Degree over the next 4 years.

    You have an equation there stating I1 = I1 + I2 so stay focused next time. Also you quite often say we "have a certain voltage here" refering to a point on the circuit but a voltage is like you said in previous videos (so I know you know that) a difference in charge between two points so a voltage can't be in a point so be accurate please. Apart from that your videos really do help intuitive understanding :) keep it up but drop the obsession with flow direction^^

  • @yazicib1
    @yazicib1 13 лет назад

    @rinwhr Due to conservation laws (Kirchoff's law), the current flows in a series circuit has to be the same in all points of the circuit. Since current is basically rate of change of charge per time, it is basically the speed of electron flow. So by this definition if there is a resistor in a circuit, all electrons that are coming into it and out of it will have to slow down so that kirchoff law holds. This is only possible if there is a voltage drop across the resistor. And this is the case.

  • @uPB4uTube
    @uPB4uTube 11 лет назад

    when you have the circuit and it seperates into the parallel wiring. where one wire goes upwards and the other one goes downwards, then they meet up again at certain point. in 3:10 the diagram. the current seperates accordingly to how much resistance is in each wire (top and bottom) and then adds back to original current when the two wires meet up again. eg original current was 6 amps, 2 amps goes up wire one and 4 amps goes down wire 2. then when the wires meet the current becomes 6 amps again.

  • @yazicib1
    @yazicib1 13 лет назад

    @mexman48
    Negative charge means, there are more electrons on that side of the circuit by definition as the electrons themselves are negative charged particles. So they are simply trying to move from the point they exist a lot to they exist less. This is a spontaneous process possibly due to entropy and has to obey the laws of thermodynamics. Just like a rock falls to the ground but doesn't spontaneously fly.Flying means increasing potential energy and that is not possible in a closed system.

  • @Kamppi69
    @Kamppi69 8 лет назад

    Thx for the video. Nice and simple :). But what if the circuit would be divided in a way that only one side had a resistor like a lamp. In our textbook it said that the lamp would not light up because the current would flow through the route with no resistor. What's the logic behind this?

    Hah, and now I remember the Modest Mouse song "Path of Lease Resistance" and now I know, despite (not) learning this in my physics class for weeks, that this principle is true, as electrons prefer to flow where there is least resistance, causing the 5 ohm resistor to carry more electrons so to speak as the 20 ohm resistor.
    Thank you. :)

    • @EliorFureraj15
      @EliorFureraj15 8 лет назад +7

      In my knowledge, as I was taught, the conventional current is just an arbitrary decision. And even though it is not "logical" in the case of such a circuit due to the flow of electrons, different electricity circuits or batteries use protons or ions to transfer charge. Conventional Current has to do with flow of charges, not specifically electrons.

    Appliances are AC devices usually. The fuse is put on non-ground side of the appliance. Ground is basically a wire connected to the earth (largest sphere we can think of) The other wire (non-ground I guess, I am not sure what it is actually called) is the actual wire that carries alternative current. Flow of electrons in AC is constantly changing in a sinusodial wave from one direction to other. And this is 60Hz in US, and 50Hz in Europe, etc.
    I am sure Salman has another video on AC

    He is just telling us what the convention is, even though the charges of electrons flowing, is actually out from the negative terminal. You can maybe think of it as:
    negative charges move to higher electrical potential
    positive charges move to lower electrical potential
    and the positive plate has higher potential so electrons move twds there. if it had been a positive charge it'll go to -ve terminal (lower potential).
