Michael alemu here just wanted to say I love you Julian hamm im coming to your house tomorrow wanna hang out wanna do a little something something............
hi Julian hamm im Michael alemu and I wanna come over tomorrow for a play date I love learning about stuff on this site im your biggest fan I have posters of you all around my house Im lonely and im sad :(
The animations, esp. the interactive ones, are fantastic as teaching tools.
However, in the Voltage and Current section I came across the following statement:
"The voltage on the positive (+) side is 6V and the voltage on the negative (-) side is 0V."
Now, having correctly explained that Voltage is P.D, and that it only makes senst to speak of voltage (PD) between (or across) two points in a circuit, this is the equivalent of saying, "The Potential Difference on the positive side is 6V and ....." Taken to its logical conclusion, we're then talking of Potential Difference difference between the +ive and -ve sides, aren't we?
Hi Pat. Thanks for this. I guess I make a distinction between what voltmeters measure - only difference and the idea of potential at a point, which is about moving positive charges from some references point (like the negative terminal of the battery) to the point you're interested in.
hey guys come check out my YouTube channel it has tons of content about electricity and I think that most people using this site would find it very interesting. it has great animations that makes learning about electricity both fun and easy. I would really appreciate the support because I spend so many hours making vids for my subscribers. thnx -epic bacon
when you say a charge has energy, where does it get this energy from and in what form is the energy. I am trying to understand exactly what Voltage is?
Hi, Please can you let me know the mechanism involved in 'converting energy', which hopefully will explain why energy is converted in the relatively higher resistance component on a circuit e.g. the bulb rather than in the relatively lower resistance component e.g. the wire? If a 2nd bulb which is a higher resistance than the first is then added in series. the 1st bulb - effectively the middle resistor - converts energy more quickly than the 2nd. Why doesn't the the lowest resistor [the wire] just convert all the energy and heat up?
There is a grammatical mistake in the "wrong idea is that charges travel fast." It says "In parallel circuits the charges don’t have to make up there mind what to do at junctions" but of course it should be THEIR mind. :)
I have just subscribed to this website and have found it useful in supplementing my physics lessons. However, I find the explanation of voltage & p.d. a bit misleading. Using the 'red stuff' and black dots seems to imply that the charge carries this energy along in some way. How then do you explain potential difference across a bulb which is driven by ac current. Here there would be no net movement of charges as the charges would just be oscillating back and forth.
Welcome to the Furry Elephant science teaching blog
The animated physics lessons at www.furryelephant.com are used widely by schools all over the world.
We always receive interesting comments about our monthly science teaching newsletter so I thought it would be a good idea for people to have somewhere to post their thoughts for public view. This is it.
Each month I'll put our newsletter contents here and you can tell everyone what you think.
Thanks in advance for any input, good or bad.

Its really a great idea.I was thinking of something like this only his would be a great way to involve Potential Difference Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the people to talk rather than just the subtitles which i find frustrating. how do i get them talking?

ReplyDeleteThere is a grammatical mistake in the "wrong idea is that charges travel fast." It says "In parallel circuits the charges don’t have to make up there mind what to do at junctions" but of course it should be THEIR mind. :)
ReplyDeleteI have just subscribed to this website and have found it useful in supplementing my physics lessons. However, I find the explanation of voltage & p.d. a bit misleading. Using the 'red stuff' and black dots seems to imply that the charge carries this energy along in some way. How then do you explain potential difference across a bulb which is driven by ac current. Here there would be no net movement of charges as the charges would just be oscillating back and forth.
