What's the difference between Current and Voltage?
Current = the number of electrons passing a given point in one second
Voltage = The difference in electrical potential energy, per unit of charge, between two points

I looked at several videos and still don't really get it - I get the gravity analogy - the potential changes with height difference - but with electricty it's the same at every 2 points on the wire connected to the battery. How is that?

@@LiborTinka the electrons are forced to move when a force is applied. Using magnets to make those electrons do that for example. A battery is the same when not connected to anything. Just electrons hanging around. But complete the circuit and they want to move electrons so they move to the negative charged side (less electrons).

@@world8805 I know but how do the electrons "know" the circuit was suddenly closed? Force is a very elusive term - I understand things in terms of wave propagation but most tutorial videos work in such abstract terms as forces and often even use terms like "zero at infinity" which we know does not exist in reality and is just a concept - I would love to understand how it actually works, the dynamics, voltage is just a concept, but where the information about the voltage is stored in the piece of cable?? there are just metal atoms with free electrons - so where is the voltage under microscope?

@@tunkunrunk It's "easy" to explain, if the explanation is actually wrong. (Actually, voltage is like altitude, but using electrostatic forces rather than gravity forces.) And, when you get to college, if you believed the explanation in this video, you'll fail your physics-exam questions (maybe just one, if you're lucky.) Voltage is not potential energy. Voltage is something called "potentials," with little relation to energy. THINK: several different capacitors can all have the same voltage, yet different stored energy. THINK: if voltage is really just energy, why do we need "Volts" at all? Why not just use joules? Where is the specific flaw here? Well, when we divide energy by charge, *it's not energy anymore.* It turns into something weird, something called "Potentials." With a water-height analogy, voltage is like the height of the water, NOT the potential energy stored in the water. We can even remove all the water, so the energy is zero, *yet the height is still there.* The taller the water tank, the higher is the voltage, even if the water is removed and the Potential Energy is zero. Voltage and potential energy are two completely different things. Or, if our analogy involves lifting boulders, then voltage is the altitude through which we lifted the boulder. Different size boulders give us different amounts of potential energy, even while the voltage (the altitude,) stays the same. (And, if someone tries to convince you that altitude is a form of energy, you'd better be suspicious.) But what is voltage, REALLY? Here's the simplest explanation: voltage is a way to describe e-fields. Voltage is something like flux, like "force lines," but where voltage is at 90deg to the flux, and voltage appears as thin membranes, not as thin fibers. Voltage appears wherever fields appear, and patterns of pure voltage can exist in empty space. Wherever we have fields and flux, we also have invisible sheets made from "Potentials." Magnetism potentials. G-potentials. The E-potentials are called "voltage." Even simpler: there is no such thing as "static electricity," even though Electrostatics certainly exists. Electrostatics is the science of capacitors and surface-charge ...and high voltage. When dealing with Electrostatics, we're dealing with high voltage at zero current. Really, we've mistaken the voltage for the "static." When you touch a VandeGraaff generator, and your hair stands up, your hair is showing the shape of the invisible e-field. And that invisible e-field is made of pure voltage, a voltage with no current.

😢Leviticus‬ ‭18:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😢😢😢

In AC power, current continue to flow without a losing any energy whereas voltage drops during a complete cycle? Why is that, I've thought of a scenario that if you replace the tank (potential energy) at the top of the platform with a strait pipe every time the voltage energy difference drops to zero with the water still flowing (current) and then swap back to the tank when the energy difference level is rising similar to a flow of a wave chart. With the current still flowing does that mean there is energy still available through the current? Because if the is a negative energy potential then there has to be a positive energy potential to somewhere to assist the continuous current flow. Please help me understand

Is Voltage the difference between the amount of electrons between the + and - side of the battery? Like when the battery is charged there's a lot of electrons on one side of the battery. When you close the circuit the electrons flow from the full side to the empty side. That means that when the battery is used, it's voltage drops. Am I understanding it correctly?
