  • the voice at 3:06. HA.

  • OMG , awesome :)

  • Simple & cute.

  • why is there a higher potential difference when he touches the tower?

  • @lxoxl Because the tower is grounded. The electricity is naturally passing only through the wires, not the tower.

  • awesome...thanks

  • awesome...

  • awesome

  • Excellent, thx for the upload!

  • mycket bra förklaring. . very good video. That help me to understand better than my teacher explain. thank you very much. Tack så mycket

  • at the end did he say if if you hold on to an insulated wire which has current going through it and you touch metal you are going to get shocked?please someone help me out with my question

  • the Arabs are the first one to discover electricity but unfortunately the Christians are getting the credit!

  • @samgee2007 where were you when that happened?

  • @gmoney3121 -what do you want to know?shut up without islamic oil the world will stop functioning ok!respect the muslims

  • Amazing, I didn't understand what joules or coulombs really were until I watched this.

  • today, studying mechanics, i  was thinking about the same thing......felt really stupid that I didn't get them the first or second time!

  • The weird thing is, to understand this, you have to spend time studying it. You're not adding to your knowledge during your course of study, you're just looking at the same thing for a period of time, and then your brain becomes accustomed somehow to thinking of things "in that way" and it makes sense one day... and then you find that it seems like something a person should be able to get the first time they hear your explanation because it really is quite simple! Odd how that works.

  • i am jaspreet singh & hearing,

    course ece

    video very like...., very good.......

    thank you

  • Today's Special is next, guys!

  • so the more cells you doesn't mean more volts are amps if theres a resistor?

  • ???

    what a complete fuck up of a question... did u even read it before posting?

  • If by your question you mean that the potential difference will always stay the same, then that is correct, regardless of how many dry cells you add, the PD. will stay the same!

  • why it always happened that from positive to negative there is a loss of energy and negative to positive gain.whydoesnt reverse happened.simple thing but iam not understanding it

  • asking why for basic physical quantities is pretty useless exercise, they are what they are, is what answer most come to, another common answer is the universe would not work otherwise

  • Was that reply intended as a joke? Are you implying that the complexity of the universe can be explained by something EVEN MORE COMPLEX FOR WHICH THERE STANDS NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE? Did you pay any attention whatsoever during grade school?

  • the big bang was a result of a quantum fluctuation

  • Where did this video come from, some electronics series?

  • how come the parachuter doesn't get shocked when he touches the conducter but then he gets shocked when he touches the tower? how does the potential difference change?!

  • Because the tower is connected to earth and the wire is insulated from the tower by the rings you see connected to the wire.

  • @KnifeSoldier Cuz he is making a path for the amps and volts to the ground. simple But if there is a lode going in that wire he will take the lode and point it to the ground and get killed. If he were to touch the tower. If there was no lode and high volts he could live. Amps are what kill.

  • I don't understand, if the parachuter had a high resistance shouldn't his atoms in his body vibrate which heats him up to burn? If the electrons come from the left shouldn't it pass through the body from the first hand and give off it's energy which makes the potential difference high between the two hands?!?

  • The difference between that and the example given before was the electrons had no other path to flow but through the resistor. So yes if he cut the wire and held both ends then yes he would be in trouble because of the high potential difference or high voltage.

  • at 1:08 what was the reading on the electron 'counter' at the start? great vid btw

  • very good explanation,kudos for the one who uploaded it..thanks.

  • thnku :)

  • this thing is great!

    My physics teacher spent the whole class explaining electric basics, and I didn't understand a thing.

    After having seen this video, in less than 10 minutes, I understood 3 times more than what my teacher has been trying to teach for 2 hours!

  • It's tuff to teach and animations defiantly can help.

  • @upsilone

    He didn't explain short circuit, which is what I want to find out.

  • This is an absolutely perfect explanation of potential difference and voltage.
