Electric Charge: Crash Course Physics #25

Moving on to our unit on the Physics of Electricity, it's time to talk about charge. What is charge? Is there a positive and negative charge? What do those things mean? In this episode, Shini talks about electrostatic forces, electrical charge, Coulomb's law, and the force between charged particles.

These videos are saving physics students lives' every single day

she makes 10000 times more sense than my professor, who didnt explain anything and just started writing equations on the board.

[MichaelNatrin]

This is a better explanation than I've heard in any college physics/engineering course. Thanks.

When your physics teacher doesn't teach you physics so you rely on the internet

She has a lot of potential to become a rapper

Electronic engineer here…You just explained static electricity better than all my teachers in university. The topic can be very confusing for beginners. This course gets better every time!

Does the sound dim at random points for anyone else? It's like someone muffled the mic arbitrarily.

[iamkocka]

When you try the tape thing and feel like a scientist.

I want a "Crash Course - Physics History", telling us about how all everything was discovered.

[Sophistry]

Everything is a conductor when there is high enough potential.

Also what are the odds of getting a mini crash course series on electricity alone? There is so much content, from basic theory, AC vs DC, current, motors / generators, different kinds of load on a circuit, different electrical components ect.

"giving the amber an overall POSTIVE CHARGE"
also amber: *sad face

[FeraleHubbard]

I love how Crash Course videos explain a weeks of physics lectures in under 10 minutes in a way that we can understand. Thank you!

[linmonPIE]

I want to tell her it's okay to take a second to breath!

[PUTURHANDSintheair]

3:03 why am I dying at the animation at the bottom lmao

[delta]

your channel doing a math course would be such fun! I love learning through this videos because everything sounds easy and the people giving the course looks so happy while filming! everything about this makes you want to learn more and more!

[NoahNobody]

This would be a great introduction for a Crash Course Electronics series. I really think you guys do a great job explaining complicated things, simply.

[blpanick]

for some reason it made me sad when the fur stole the electron from the amber

[bobgatewood]

these crash courses have teached me complex and extensive subjects in a matter of days, waaay better than even college teachers
