Principles of Electricity (1945) - Part 1

Breaks down structure of matter into atoms and, by use of conventional symbols, shows the action of electrons within an atom. The principles involved in the flow of current are explained and a volt, ampere and Ohm are defined.

@seroyer2 you answered your own question in your first sentence

I thought there was something wrong with my computer speakers, but then realized that this was filmed in 1945 and stereo probly did not exist. Also aren't there 118 elements

And powers our computers!

@ion010101 Well, I definitely remember from his story that he said "all Shockley did was sign his name". That is the one part of the story I remember above all else. But I look up Nick Holonyak and he was only 18 years old at the time, which means that either he was a very career minded intern or this too is heresay, and he merely relayed this story from people who really wore there, who he later worked with. Still, he was pretty sure of what he said, and that's good enough for me.

@fender7802 Think of voltage as tension. Pretend i have a container of water 5 feet high and another at ground level. I then connect these 2 containers with a pipe. Water will flow from the 5ft one to the ground level one. The higher i make it, the higher the tension of it going down the pipe. This difference between the 1st and 2nd container would be the voltage.
