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...

deludedaudiophile "The Vector math explanation YOU gave is wrong. They definitely did not say what you said. The vector has effect, but that is it. It does not define the speed. It is akin to angle of attack. However, the primary force is Bernoulli effect.

This is false and in error and reflects a misunderstanding of the physics involved perhaps the cause of which is you’re overestimation of the knowledge you claim to have attained from pursuing you’re advanced degrees and experience in battery sales.

 

You will need to go back and work the math while consulting more advanced physics reference materials and perhaps the assistance of an experienced physicist.

@clearthink ,

I have a PhD (yes really -  feel free to test me) in solid-state physics, have worked extensively in semiconductor processing. I am now a technical director for one of the largest battery companies on the planet.

Feel free to share your qualifications that you feel are so extensive that you believe your insults were warranted.

I have refrained from stating my full qualifications as for the most part, they are not relevant. I also have never felt the need to ask anyone else their qualifications here. I based my opinions on the quality of their posts.

I suggest dialing back the insults and dialing up dealing with what has been posted in the thread. Everyone will benefit.

 

I can tell I’ve gotten to the end of this thread. Disappointing, really, to witness what was a fairly edifying discussion devolve into childish ‘mine is bigger than yours.’

@oldrooney -

     If you think this thread devolved, read through this one, from some months back:

https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/to-fuse-or-not-to-fuse-that-is-the-question 

     Amusing at first, then: began to swirl down, as though around the event horizon of a gigantic, cosmic toilet.

     The moderators threatened to shut it down, at one point, it got so nasty.

     At times: this site reminds me of the TV Soaps.    One can stop watching for years, come back and it seems nothing has changed (or- been missed).
