Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.

    I'm learning about electricity in 2 classes. a tradesman class (HVAC, plumbing and electrician) and the second year of auto tech. in the auto class, we've spent more than a whole semester "learning" about electricity. literally nothing about cars. I'm taking a single semester of the tradesman class this semester, and we just started covering electricity. In that one day, I've learned more about electricity than the whole semester of "auto tech". This video is rad.

    Why does the flow rate decrease in the example here (4:22) but in fluids problems the flow rate stays the same but the velocity increases? Edit: if current is analogous to flow rate, and resistors only increase the velocity (the flow rate stays the same), what is the point of using resistors/narrower or wider pipes?

  • @gamerevolution173

    @gamerevolution173

    5 жыл бұрын

    Resistors don't impede the flow rate, what resistors do is that they convert some of that electrical energy into other forms of energy such as light, heat, etc. This means that some of the charge is lost and thus less charge proceeds. In light bulbs, the light that we see is actually a tungsten wire being constantly supplied with electric charge. As tungsten has a high resistivity (the inherent resistance a substance has), a lot of that charge is converted into light and heat energy giving us light.

    I know this will sound like a dumb question, but with the bottleneck analogy, i cannot help but think that it is the normal reaction of the pipe wall to the container which is contributing to the prevention of flow. How would this "normal reaction" apply to the circuit case? Also, how would we tie in I=navq to this analogy? Disclaimer: I haven't watched all the videos yet.

I understand that the resistance bottlenecks the voltage down to 2A because of Ohms law but what I don’t understand is that the resistance doesn’t occur until halfway around the circuit so why is the Amperage in the northern part of the circuit still 2 even though it hasn’t been impeded yet?
