Hey khan, to be honest,the level of clarity,depth of understanding,way of explanation are simply awesome man..your videos are mind blowing..My humble request to you "PLEASE DONT STOP ANYWHERE"..keep uploading more and more videos in physics

Apologies to Sal for this comment, even though it is intended, if anything, as constructive criticism - but the way David explains things is so much clearer. He does not feel the need to fill in every bit of time with words (which I'm sorry to say oftentimes comes off as rambling with Sal), but speaks eloquently, letting us take it in. Also I can tell the graphics are cleaner as well, I'm sure Sal can implement this. But the slower and better organised mode of speaking, the clear explanations, for me they make David preferable for me. Please make more videos

Even though I'm watching this 5 years later and I still think that David's a wonderful teacher, I can't help but notice that when I multiply the values in the first problem he solved that I got different values from what he got. Because where he got 2.4, I got 5.4 and where he got 0.6, I got 1.35 :( It's either my calculator's broken or I prolly missed something Can someone please explain :(

@asmae6869 6 жыл бұрын

thanks for the explanation, but I am still confused about something: in a series circuit made of a battery/cell providing an electromotive force of 9 V, and a bulb, the electrons give the bulb all the energy they are carrying which is 9 V, so how do they continue moving after leaving the bulb if they lost all their energy?

@chandranianantharaman811 3 жыл бұрын

The electrons are not giving up all their energy! If you do introduce a sufficiently large number of bulbs in the series circuit, you can build up your resistance high enough that all the energy is "given up" (loosely speaking) and there is no flow (no light)

What if the masses weren't the same? would you need more information to solve for their velocities?

@nicolasbaroni9053 7 жыл бұрын

You would just write out two separate kinetic energy terms with two different masses and add them

@Nick Baroni but wouldn't you have two unknown variables then? v1 and v2?

@ayoutubechannelname 6 жыл бұрын

Their momentums are equal and opposite, but their masses are different. Since you know their masses and the change in potential energy, you can solve for the magnitude of the momentum, p, by doing the following: (1/2) (p^2 / m_1) + (1/2) (p^2 / m_2) = change in kinetic energy = -1 * change in potential energy Solve for p. Then solve for v_1 by dividing p by m_1. If you can do that, you can figure out v_2 as well.

@niclasell2701 3 жыл бұрын

But how do you find one of the speeds using conservation of energy if the masses aren't equal?

@spurti 3 жыл бұрын

Just take individual kinectic energies of the different masses.

In Current and Electricity what is the higher potential... Guys this thing is messing me soo much.. I don't know why but i can simply get this thing clear.. My Exams are just around the corner. I have Questions of which I need some simple answers. 1.What basically is the electricity?? 2.Do electrons flow from Positive terminal to the negative terminal or from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. 3. What does actually flow: Protons or Electrons? Please reply to me... Thank you in advance.

@femitrs999 7 жыл бұрын

I know maybe you dont need this anymore but here it goes: 1. Electricity is a flow of electrons, generally passing through a circuit, the electrons have electric potential energy and they use it to get to the other side, thats why you can connect a device to the circuit and use some of that energy. 2. Electrons always travel from the negative terminal (its negative because it has electrons) to the positive terminal because opposite charges attract each other (thats why the electrons have potential energy). 3. Protons never flow because they stay at the atom's nucleus. Electrons always flow: an object has negative charge when it has more electrons than protons and it is positively charge when it has less electrons than protons. This do NOT mean protons traveled to this body but instead the body's electrons moved away (for example to a more positive object), leaving the object with a normal number of protons a low number of electrons (thus having more electrons than protons and therefore being positively charged). Hope this helped

@gunankhora9671 4 жыл бұрын

what if the masses were different, use energy conservation and conservation of linear momentum in the horizontal direction to get the 2nd relationship between velocities. 0 = m1.v1 + (-m2.v2)

What does a negative potential energy mean?

@nicholasandrzejkiewicz 6 жыл бұрын

It means instead of going to a state with higher energy, ie potential energy converted to kinetic, your objects want to loose energy.

@ayoutubechannelname 6 жыл бұрын

An infinite separation of charges has no potential energy. Zero. If the charges attract each other, the potential energy must be used as they pull toward each other, and so the potential energy is made negative. The amount of energy you can release from these charges is limited by how close they can get to each other. The closer they can get, the "more negative" you can make the potential energy.

I'm still a bit confused as to why the speeds are the same :(

@ayoutubechannelname 6 жыл бұрын

Both charges have zero momentum initially. So the whole system has a total momentum of zero. When the charges accelerate their opposite ways, they must have equal but opposite momentum for the system to still have zero total momentum. Both charges have the same mass, so their final velocities must be equal but opposite. The velocities are equal in magnitude, despite being in opposite direction, so the speeds are the same.

@bogdanRandom 5 жыл бұрын

the force exerted by q1 on q2 is the same as the force exerted by q2 on q1. From Coulomb law F= kQ1Q2/r^2. If they have the same force and same mass, they have the same acceleration. If the acceleration is the same, the speed will be the same.

*_Summary Of The Video :-_* *Electric Potential Energy* *Definition* - The amount of work done in assembling the charges at their location by bringing them from infinity. * A single charge can not have any potential energy. * We need at least two charges to have potential energy at all. * SI UNIT - Joule. * Potential energy is a Scalar Quantity.
