Electrophorus Explanation (5a1020)

[@eliudminga]

I real enjoy this channel

[@magnuswootton6181]

thats amazing! so it actually recharges as it goes!!!!

[@ATLTraveler]

Very cool, please make more videos.

[@kabeerfcc4153]

Plzzzzzzzz make more videos related to electricity, and magnetism

[@mussakasimu2811]

Your saying induction but the process your doing is all about contact method, can you tell me more plz

[@ShutterSpeed713]

In this case the disk isn’t actually contacting the wax, so it becomes polarized without becoming negatively charged like it would if it contracted the wax. The light bulb then acts as a ground for electrons to move to, and the disk is positively charged. Induction results in the opposite charge between two object while conduction or contact results in the same charge.

@@ShutterSpeed713 how can the light bulb "act as a ground" isn't the earth the only possible ground?

[@DreamingConcepts]

@@ShutterSpeed713 if the light bulb can "act as a ground" doesn't that mean anything can act as a ground for the electric fields around switching power supplies (used for most electric devices today) and the cables connected to it by induction? Also, since human body is 70% water, doesn't that mean we can act as ground too for electrons to?

Nice

Fantastic

At 2:45 into the video, you used the word polarization occuring. Excess negative charges gather at the surface of the wax and positive charges in the aluminum plate gather at the bottom side of it while it's negative charges repelled and gather at the top of the plate. I assume by polarization you mean is happening between the upper surface of the wax and the lower surface of the aluminum plate.... but you never specifically said that. So that is up in the air hanging..... There is clearly also the so called polarization happening in the aluminum plate itself. Positve charge at its bottom surface and negative charges at top of its surface, although you didn't use the word polarization term for that. You also never said anything about where all the negative charges from the surface of the wax go. You never said if them electrons jumped and went to the aluminum.... so what happend to those electrons? And then somehow the wax got depleted of them excess electrons that jumped from the wool and you had to rub the wax again. Furthermore how on earth the wool just keeps giving electrons while depleting itself of them, leaving itself positive charged over and over and over again. A positively charged wool sitting around all high strung and nothing happens to it. You have gloves on while doing this experiment and obviously your body is in contact with the gloves and therefore the wool, yes? Why on earth would the electons jump to your hand if you were not positively charged in the first place right from the get go? Does this complete the circuit full circle or not? Tell me, how can the wool afford keep giving zillions of electrons and stay positively charged or somehow it doesn't? Now back to the cause of potential difference in the first place..... they key bull's eye question. How to create potential difference because only there is when things happen. How to create imbalance? This question is clear and obvious and in reality even an atom tells the story. How to make electrons get away from the neuclous of the atom and keep going up and up and hell even leave it? Hit the son of a bitch with photons. Electrons impregnated by energy becomes independent of the force of electromagnetic attraction holding aslave to protons. The rest I will leave it to you to connect the dots which I already did most all of it. If you follow the rabit hole you will eventually have to ask what I term the prime mover. I don't believe you would go that far and if you did, my answer to it is this. I don't know. You have internal energy that keeps things away from each other vs gravity that pulls things together. Both are part of the intrinsic property of particles. I.e. Mass, charge, spin. However I could easily be full of it which most likely you agree.

[@DirkIronside]

This is a little pedantic. The explanation was good but brief, but obviously can't cover the fullest explanation for such a short video!

[@alchemy1]

You know you don't know it. But that is not what interest me. What interest me is your ability to be okay with the fact that you can not even convince yourself with your explanation. You know that in electric circuit , charges move in full circle, just like a flywheel. Show the chagres path in the circle. Now.... do it. Onlly then you can truly speak with confidence as you see it in your mind's eye.

[@kitertl1209]

It's interesting that you want to criticize the explanation but you're unable to articulate what's actually wrong with the explanation. But what really interests me is that in your attempt to sound intelligent, you can't even do so with the most basic rules of grammar.

[@alchemy1]

@@kitertl1209 Wrong. I never claimed to know nor did I say or claim to be intellegent. You made the video in order to show you have the answer. You obviously didn't answer my question. Nor those other wannabe experts who are also giving explanation. They also have TO answer my question(s) or they have to deal with the fact that the question is there for all to see including the seeming idiots who also don't play with full deck being fully present in mind. Blind following the blind. Fools impressing fools. It easy to impress the idiots with their idiotic thank you's. They don't pay attention enough to even ask question never mind a meaninfgul one. Either you answer my question or the least you can do is say you don't know. Right? If you interpret someone asking question as being intelligent, that is another thing all together. Grammer? This is not an English grammer subject, that is obvious. Secondly Egnlish is my second language. Third, it appears you had no problem understanding me otherwise you would have asked.....what I meant by whatever statement I made or question I asked. Try again.

[@alchemy1]

@@kitertl1209 One more time: Show the complete circuit, that is the fact that electricity a closed system. Closed system means circular.. Are youi understanding this. Or you just want me to spend energy repeating it and get stupid that you don't understand my question. A circle has no original point so we orbitrarliy create a point of origin and it can be anywhere in that circumference which is okay, however the end point meets the origin. Do you understand, DO YOU? Now do it. Read carefully. Where did the charges began moving originated at , and then show how those charges inevitly must go back to that point in order for the entire system to remain neutral as it was in the first place. Just do it. If you don't undertand this, you need to learn English yourserlf.

[@alumeanium5053]

Electric charge doesn't need to be in a circuit for it to move. Think about this, when lightning strikes something, what's the circuit? Since you strongly believe that electric charges have to move in a 'full circle', then you should have no problem standing outside during a thunderstorm; since the clouds and the earth aren't connected, there's no circuit, so there's no way for all the electric charge for the lightning to move through you.

[@alchemy1]

@@alumeanium5053 Well fellow, lets keep it simple or you will get yourself all over the map. Charges leave your car battery from one terminal and enters the battery at its other terminal. End of the story. Clouds, lightening, earth and the rest..... look deeper and you will find the circuit. Stop it already. For now just stay with the battery and don't even try to get nebulous on me. For now in this vidio subject it is no lighening strike, okay. Kapeesh? ( Hint for the road: The reason you see lightening in the first place is because the charges want to go back home. Same when you are touching the dam pie plate which is what they are. I don't do the big sounding impressive lingo I can't even pronounce)
