AC vs. DC

Electricity video #2. Explaining the difference between Direct Current and Alternating Current.

Thank you too:
PhET Interactive Simulations, University of Colorado, their link is posted below. These are amazing to use within classrooms.

I have worked for over 38 years as a (construction Electrician) and this is the first time anyone has explained this so well. Great video.

I've looked up a lot of videos here on YouTube trying to find good explanations on how alternating current works. You're the first person to mention the GODDAMN MAGNET(why has nobody mentioned the rotating MAGNET???).

Thank you very much for this explanation, straight forward and very helpful.

[ecapers]

Dear god, thank you! This is the clearest explanation of AC/DC I've heard ever. Now I finally get it.

12 years of school and 4 years of college and no one explained it this well. Thanks a lot, man.

AC/DC is one of the best bands ever, and One Direction is not.

Thanks for the video.

First video to explain AC without using a goddamn sine wave :D
Simple and clear <3

Kudos to you sir, by this video you have shown us one of the easiest ways of understanding how simple the concept of AC-DC truly is, rather than the much complex ways taught to us during our school days this simple video can show us the clear difference, i immensely appreciate your effort here for shining a clear light on AC-DC, hope you continue to share light on other various scientific topics, keep up the good work, GOD SPEED !!!

Why would you abbreviate Hertz htz instead of Hz

Nobody knows the difference between AC&DC but you, now i learned this from you thanks to you.

It's really the best way explaining specially when he related that with the level of the frequency showing electrons of the conductor back and forth and how getting the load on and off related with frequency level.. Smart way Chris, appreciated .

[noahnguyen]

You're awesome Chris, no one has ever made it clearer. THANK YOU!!!!

[HGarach]

Thank you very much. I was in my IT class and I came across AC and DC and had no clue about the difference. Watching
the Video clears it up nicely. GREAT job on the video!! It was done in a way that is easy to understand! :)

@ChrisMahl, I learnt more from this little video within 6 mins that I have learned in a life time after three or two Physics classes. If you are K-12 or even college and are not taking advantage of YouTube, your future earning and knowledge base will be impaired tremendously. Thank you. Great Post.

I like the "Oh and also, AC/DC is one of the best bands ever" xD

[chillmiester]

I was so confused at the last slide reading "AC/DC is one of the best band ever" until you said it out loud, I laughed, cool video.

[mikimouse]

Best explanation I've found in YouTube . Now I finally understand alternating current ☺

[DingDangg]

One of the best videos here on Youtube I've seen on AC/DC

[danumbert]

My God! thank you... they never explained to as properly at school that A.C current is caused by a rotating magnet. It makes so much more sense now.

Big Thank you.
