Love the video except for one part... If you hook a voltmeter up to the wires, current does NOT travel through a voltmeter. It becomes more complicated than you show here.

@georgeme01 It was not my intention to do an introductory course in physics...it doesn't matter HOW the voltmeter works in this video, it's just THAT it works as a load on the current. :)

the guy looks sooo proud of himself lolllllz check it on 1:02 but, thanks thous, it was really helpful

[MarkRosengarten]

@richsocaplaya It's all part of the schtick. People are more likely to engage with a teacher if that teacher demonstrates an enthusiasm for their subject matter. I happen to love chemistry...wasn't my first choice, I adore Earth Science beyond the telling of it, but when I was young and chose my college major, I made up my mind that I didn't want to teach high school freshmen. Isn't that terrible????
