Electronics 101 - What is electricity?

In this VERY basic introductory video I discuss exactly what electricity is and some of the basic ways of measuring it. The difference between conductors and insulators is also covered.

Bruce, if people don't want to learn, they'll click out of the video. These are your most interesting series to me and
I'd LOVE to learn everything you know about electricity and aerospace physics!!! For example those ducted-prop videos were awesome. Don't hold back going into far detail, I'm here because I want to watch :)

[sorakojootti]

This little video teached me more than my physics teacher teached me in 3 years. Thank you and keep the videos coming :)

[EnuffsEnuff]

Bruce...you have a talent for teaching. There must be someplace down there that you can teach electronics courses.

[KreshHanzoo]

For me as a person who is learning electronics, this video is great. Simple and easy to follow, please keep it up!

[donjohnson]

Bruce, I almost didn't watch this video because I thought I already knew the basics. In 12 minutes you managed to teach me some things I was unaware of and hadn't discovered in 25 years since I first learned about electricity in school...fantastic video!!! I like that you explained what exactly an amp is and electrons flow from -- to +....well done sir!

My dad taught me Ohm's Law on a long car journey over 60 years ago using the water system analogy Bruce uses. I've now got to the point where I use an electrical analogy to understand my central heating :)

Excellent video, Bruce. My dad would have agreed, I'm sure.

[Censz]

You are very charismatic which is rare for a physicist on youtube

[SuperMrFireblade]

I'm 47 and know a lot about electrics & electronics but until now I've never know what electricity actually was. Thanks Bruce, I might up my Patreon sub after the semiconductor lesson!

[BNConnection]

I just love the analogies - wouldn't you just wish you'd had a teacher like this in school.

[JaydenLawson]

Watched so many videos to try and understand these basics and I suspect this will be the one that really brings it all together!

[jakesvanrensburg]

Bruce. You are a legend. I had the same idea but you managed to put it i words. I love your channels and can never wait for the next clever review. I have no idea why you don't have millions of subscribers. I even watch all the ads cause i would live to support you but with my currency i will have to give you a quart of my salary to make a difference. Keep up the good work and i will keep sending you ad electrons. i would hate to see your channel go offline.

[chrisgate]

Like this video a lot. Simple. Concise and to the point.... Will be following the rest of the series

[chasemallory]

Perfectly timed as I go into electronics physics, its about time I actually figure out what volts/ohms/amps are and how they relate. Thanks!

[mohamedelhawy]

Good job doc, i am an electrical engineer student in my 3rd year in college but i still have much to learn from the basics thanks a lot for that video it made me have a clear understanding of electricity.
cheers

[MrJob]

Bruce, tnx you'll hit this series out of the ballpark! very great content! It's awesome that you make sure everyone can understand electronics, teaching this stuff is very important!

[niscool-dp]

I want to say thank you for taking the time out of your day to make these videos! They’re really helpful

[thexpto]

Great Video Bruce! Can't wait for the rest of the videos. You really are a natural speaker. You are one of those persons who someone could listen for hours. My teachers should have been like you and I wouldn't have crappy notes.

[petervandenthillart]

Can't wait for more complex subjects the like fresnel zone one you did, keep up the good work!

[drewhodge]

Another fantastic video bruce.
Thanks for putting in the time and effort to pass on your knowledge.
I often wonder why we were never taught things like this a school?

[kris]

Bruce well done, presented in a way that we beginners can all understand .... thank you
