      @AD UNUM TRISTIS Yes, and electrons are definitely almost as big as the entire cross-section of the wire. It's called scaling up. It's done so it would be easier to visualise the concepts and the scaled up details are irrelevant to the concepts shown. Just like how they show Earth orbiting the Sun, it completes a year in a couple of seconds usually. Do you think the concept would be better expressed if the Earth shown orbiting the Sun would take ~365 days to complete a circle? Or that Earth would be shown literally a million times smaller than the Sun? If Sun is shown as around 4cm, how large do you think the Earth will be?

    @zoltanvarga6738 Před 7 lety +75

    In several places "electric potential energy" should be replaced by "electric potential". This way it's incorrect. Voltage is the difference in electric potentials (they are both measured in volts) and not in potential energy, which is measured in joules. You can assign potential to a point in space, but not potential energy, which describes an interaction between more particles.

    • @KillJD
      @KillJD Před 7 lety +6

      Zoltan Varga can you help me out? No matter how much I read I'm still having a hard Time distinguishing between potential and potential energy. which in turn is messing up my understanding of voltage and volts.

    • @zoltanvarga6738
      @zoltanvarga6738 Před 7 lety +37

      Electric potential is assigned to a point in space and is measured in Volts. Electric potential energy describes an interaction between two (or more) charged objects and is measured in Joules.
      As an analogy, think of potential as your elevation above sea level on a hilly terrain: each point in the area can be characterized by a number (meters for height, or for potential Volts). Voltage is the potential difference between any two points, it corresponds to the elevation difference. To calculate potential energy, you need another charged object that is moved between these two points. The voltage is determined by the potential difference between the two points, but the work done while moving the charge from one point to the other also depends on how much the charge is that you're moving, so it's the product of the voltage and the charge. Like the amount of work you have to do when carrying an object from A to B depends on the elevation difference (voltage) and the mass of the object (charge). I hope this clarifies it.

    • @KillJD
      @KillJD Před 7 lety +10

      It actually does a bit. I have a few more questions if you don't mind!
      Ok, so a volt is defined as 1 joule per coulomb, correct? So let us say I have a 12v battery. That means there is an electric potential difference between the negative and positive posts of 12V? Does that mean each unit of charge(1 coulomb) has the potential of doing 12 joules worth of work traveling in an external circuit?
      My understanding is that voltage is always measured between two points. In the case of a battery, the negative post is used as zero references. Why is that though when the electrons are emanating from the negative post to the positive? It would seem to me that the negative post would have the higher potential, hence the electrons flowing from that end to the positive. Here's an oddball question. Let's say we have a 24v battery. We know it has an electric potential of 24v because we measured between the positive and negative post. Imagine that the negative through some voodoo magic develops 12v of potential( I know it would never happen). So now the 24V battery is actually a 12V battery effectively because the difference between the two posts is 12V. 24-12. So even though one post has 24Vs of potential, 12 V of that gets "canceled" by the opposing 12V, right?
      One thing I've never understood is how when a battery is considered dead it still has some sort of potential. I mean I can understand where all the chemicals get used up inside and thus it doesn;t provide any more free electrons. But if that's the case where is this remaining voltage coming from?
      Thank you for your time. You're really helping me out!

      joules, ergs, volts, Btu, kilocalories, foot-pounds force... all are units of energy and per the Physics Conservation Laws, all can be made equal to each other (e=mc2). They are not units for each branch of physics and all of the equivalencies are not yet discovered. This is what drove Einstein nuts before his death.

      It means, we have to do 12 joules MORE work to move +1C of charge to + terminal of battery, compared to the work we have do to move +1C charge to - terminal of that battery.
      Why? Becoz, + terminal of battery has, (thru electrochemical reactions inside the battery), more + charges, and minus terminal has more - charges, so + terminal has electric field(defined as force on unit + charge) directed outward, and - terminal has electric field directed inward. So if i (an external agent) have to move a +1C charge to + terminal, then i have to work AGAINST that outward electric field there and have to do more work, compared to, if i want to move a +1C charge to - terminal where inward electric field will support me which is why i would do less work.
      [// Potential Energy(U): work done to move the charge q from infinity to that point = integration (F.dx=q.E.dx)
      Potential (V): work done to move +1C charge from infinity to that point = integration E.dx.
      int(F.dx)=U => dU/dx=F,
      F=q.E, int(E.dx)=V => dV/dx=E ]
      And yes, the same battery of 12V, can be visualised as:
      1) The minus terminal has 0V potential, the + terminal has 12V potential
      OR
      2) The minus terminal has some x volts potential and the + terminal has then, x+12 volts potential.
      Both are okay, becoz, both represent, that we hv to do 12 joules/charge MORE work so as to move "forcefully" a charge to plus terminal, than to minus terminal. Or, in other words, a positive charge "naturally" will want to move from plus terminal to minus terminal. I.e., an electron "naturally" will want to move from minus terminal to plus terminal.
      Similar to potential defined in gravity force: a ball at a height of h has a potential of mgh, bec i hv to do a work of mgh, against the downward directed gravity force, to move the ball upwards to that height h. And naturally(i.e. due to gravity force) it wants to come down. If there was a negative mass(like negative charged electrons), it would naturally want to go up.

    Current is not the flow of electrons. Electrons actually flow very slowly in a conductor due to Brownian motion at around 4 cm/hr on average in a DC circuit. Electrical current is the flow of energy being transferred from one electron field to adjacent electron fields... this energy transfer can flow at near light speed due to the minimal mass and movement distance of electrons. At higher voltages and frequencies this opposition to current flow causes the flow to move toward the outer skin of the conductor since there are fewer particles near the edges (and no particles outside the edges so relatively no collisions) there are fewer field collisions between particle fields, so current flows with less resistance which is why we transmit power at higher voltages.

      @pasijutaulietuviuesas9174 Před 5 lety +18

      @João Barbosa The difference between potential energy and electric potential is similar to the difference between distance and speed. Voltage is joule per coulomb and speed is meter per second. Yes, speed is technically distance, but it's not the entire distance, it's a portion of the distance that was measured in 1 second. Likewise, voltage is technically potential energy but it is not the entire potential energy of ALL charged particles, it's the potential energy in 1 coulomb of charged particles. So yes, you can say voltage is the potential energy but you must specify that it's measured in 1 coulomb of charged particles just like speed is technically meters but it's not ALL meters measured, it's those meters that were measured in 1 second. It's an important distinction, especially when you're a beginner.

      @@3ATIVE It's technically the same thing, just from another point of view.
      *V = phi1 - phi2,* where phi - electric potential, V - voltage.
      However, *V = W/q,* where W - work, q - charge.
      How do these relate? Well, *W = PE1 - PE2,* where PE - potential energy. Next, *phi = PE/q.* So,
      *V = W/q = (PE1 - PE2)/q = phi1 - phi2.*

      support.google.com/youtube/answer/6054623?hl=en e questo canale non rientra nella lista. L'unica maniera sarebbe di inviargli i file .txt con le traduzioni, ma è un metodo più complicato e non voglio impegnare il suo tempo.

    An operational amplifier (often op amp or opamp) is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single-ended output.[1] In this configuration, an op amp produces an output potential (relative to circuit ground) that is typically 100,000 times larger than the potential difference between its input terminals. Operational amplifiers had their origins in analog computers, where they were used to perform mathematical operations in linear, non-linear, and frequency-dependent circuits.
