Electric Charge and Electric Fields

What's the deal with electricity? Benjamin Franklin flies a kite one day and then all of a sudden you can charge your phone? There's a gap in conceptual understanding! Let's figure out what electricity is, exactly, and how it works, by defining electric charge and electric fields.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Me watching Professor Dave:
In High school - "This guy is going over kid stuff, my syllabus is above this" *Clicks away*
In University - "Whaat? I did not know that. Did he just summarize 3 lectures worth of material in less than 10 mins??"

[Shatuu]

Professor Dave explained this 2-week topic in less than 10minutes. Bravo!!

I love how you explain these concepts. I have no idea what i am looking at when i see the formulas, but i understand how and why things work the way they do. You have a very good approach that should be appealing to the average person. I certainly learned quite a few things . Keep up the good work and good luck.

I was having such a hard time grasping the concept of electric charges and electric fields, but you cleared it up so nicely, thank you so much Dave!!

[yiannisserpico]

Each school should have such a physics teacher like you!!

Professor Dave, I am an Indian and an IIT (Indian Institute of Technology, aspirant.There are two competitive exams one have to write to get a seat in prestigious IIT colleges.I checked all the viedeos in your channel.All the videos​ are related to IIT portions.I am really gonna tell all my friends who are also IIT aspirants. Thanks a lot professor Dave.All the concepts are beautifully explained.Keep going your doing great.

MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR! This guy literally just explained a three-day lecture in a 6:40 video. TT

[DougieBarclay]

that "checking comprehension" music was priceless

[fikrukinfu]

I found it excellent for my grade 10 student daughters. Be blessed Professor.

I love the comprehension part! t hank you for taking the time to make these beautiful videos

[augustinegeorge]

Your videos are really good sir. Really helped me understand the concept. Most other videos are just repeating definitions shown in textbooks.

[tomisoetan]

For the checking comprehension exercise at the end, shouldn’t the force be negative because it’s between two protons and they’re both positively charged? Love the video by the way! It was helpful.

[kfjidzj]

Omg bless you!! You have made me understand more in this video than 4 weeks of my physics 102 professors

[Raghav]

Really needed this, perfect timing . Thanks professor

[my-crazy-fantastic-fanatic]

I was having a really bad day.. till the opening kicked in!

[diaverna]

Your videos go straight to the point and always carry me through exams. Appreciate everything!

[samuelfallah]

The only teacher that stands still whilst teaching, thank you so much

[abhijithmenon]

Sir, your classes are awesome and it helps me a as I'm preparing for my class 12 th final board examination. Thank you a lot and all my friends are watching your video and I'm from Kerala (INDIA).

[bruhhh]

Man explains bad teachers' hours of letcure in literally 5 mins!
Awesome 👍

Crazy that I learned more from a 7 min video than I have from past 4 50 min lectures at school.
