  • In this video we cover:
    - Some components commonly used in circuit diagrams
    - What's meant by the term 'potential difference'
    - What's meant by the term 'Current'
    - What's meant by the term 'Resistance'
    - Which way around a circuit current flows

    This convention ruined an entire week for me.
    I was studying chemistry and the topic was how ores are extracted and purified / refined . I had kept the convention in the back of my head that current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal and I thought that electrons flowed from the anode to the cathode.
    I read the whole chapter and made the notes. Then in the end I was all confused because the physics of the ions just didn't make any sense. I researched a lot and then I found this video. I really appreciate your effort. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤️.

    I'm a little bit annoyed by the whole "it goes from positive to negative" thing. I don't really understand how after they disproved that theory they still kept it. Imagine if other areas of science did the same thing, like if astrophysicists decided to keep the geocentric model just because it was used in the past

    • @rabbitman8535

      Here's two things you need for motivation:
      • somewhere you wanna be (e.g get a great grade like a 9 so you can have the revision skill to get great a-levels and you can get into a great university so you can get a great job so you can live a satisfying life happily and died happy)
      • and somewhete you don't wanna be (get a average or bad grade e.g 4 then you don't have the work ethic to get a good a level or you may have to resits back tracking your life by a year then you don't get into a good university you parents are disappointed you get a mediocre job you don't like you and then your just sad)
      Hope that helps to motivate you 😊

    • @kinapindeesebich
      @kinapindeesebich Před rokem

      this might be a bit late but when benjamin franklin rubbed a tube with a cloth and touched it, he discovered static electricity, he assumed that the static forms when the electrons from the tube is in contact with our hand which has no electrons. After this discovery, battery brands changed the negative and positive symbols on the sides according to his discovery. but joseph thompson found out that when the tube is rubbed by the cloth, the cloth takes away the electrons from the tube, so it has no charge, when a human touches the rod they get static electricity because their electrons are transferred to the rod. but because most battery brands already made everything according to benjamin franklin's theory, nobody changed the design of the battery to the correct way which was negative -> positive. so every battery brand still labels the sides wrong, the positive and negative signs need to be switched in order to be factual. this battery design is called conventional theory. so when you're drawing a battery with a circuit, you should draw the electrons as if they come from the positive side to negative, but when they ask you to answer in words as to where the current flows from and to, it should be negative to positive. so, the drawing of positive to negative because of the battery is labeled as conventional current, which almost everybody uses to draw. i hope this answered it.
