How Electricity Actually Works


In November of last year I posted a Vertasium YT vid titled "The Big Misconception About Electricity".  Well it caused quite a stir and like an arachnid had many legs many of which attempted to draw A'gonrs into the poison fangs!

Well, here is the follow-up to that original vid which caused quite a stir in the "intellectual" community as well.

Vertasium "How Electricity Actually Works".

 

This does have implications for our audio cabling...

We as a species don't know a tenth of a percent about anything? Pretty pessimistic view of Homosapiens.

I am just an engineer. I worked chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Part of my career I designed Mobile Electric Power equipment, I designed generators. Not just any generator, but one that was hard to detect. The technology is referred to as Low Observable. There are some interesting and amusing arguments regarding E and B fields and their uses in this thread. Some of what I read here makes me seriously wonder about our education system.

@barts -

                          You mentioned not knowing a tenth of a percent.

     The percentage of what we know about our universe, is recognized by Scientists/Physicists as 4-5%.

     Multiple Billions have been/are being spent, in an effort to find out what exactly comprises the other 96%, of the matter and energy, Physicists know surrounds us.

     Einstein recognized there was a whole lot of stuff missing, when he came up with his Math on gravity and considered it his greatest blunder (having to add Lambda/the Cosmological Constant) 

                          Too bad he didn't live to see that proven!

        There are some interesting theories, as to what's going on around us:

@djones51 -

     According to you: "This thread is a discussion about the weirdness or non intuitivness of electricity not the audibility of fuses and wires in sound systems."

                                  According to the OP's initial post:
