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:

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

That depends on how you look at it.

"We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us." (Albert Einstein)

"We don’t know a millionth of one percent about anything." (Thomas Edison)
