What is Electric Charge? (Electrodynamics)
What is electric charge? What is the electromagnetic field? We can understand both at the same time through Gauss's law! Join us for a visual introduction to electricity.

I like that you actually respond to your comments! I binge watch these because you are really good at explaining complicated subjects. It’s nice to have a video to reference something as arbitrary as mass or electric charge because they’re are usually the starting assumption we make when solving problems. I love that you dig deeper and answer the questions that most people just accept as ultimately true. Thank you! Keep up the awesome content!

Your films are brilliant. What fields are and how they relate to or interact with space (time?) is something I suspect many of us give up trying to understand once we have been "educated" to whatever degree in vector calculus. Anyway, keep up the great output!

I like that science has been making real progress in this field (no pun intended) over the past century. I look forward to more pieces of the puzzle of existence falling into place as my life permits

"There's just as much field pointing in as there is pointing out." That reminds of how my calc 3 professor explained the divergence theorem -- he said it's like if you have lots of people going in and out of a country and you want to measure how many of them there are, you can either look at the country as a whole (surface integral) or you can just look at the borders where the movement is happening (line integral).

If we consider a field, it's just an area where a particle applies electrostatic force on another particle and makes it experience some force. For any electric field, if we consider, we always refer to charge present as it is the property of matter due to which it experiences electric field and gravitational force due to mass carried by it

If fields are intrinsic to space then what effect does an expanding universe have on field strength? Is overall field strength conserved? Or does it's value increase? Is it possible to read a field's strength without any moving particles being involved? What is the reactance of empty space (vacuum)? How can it be modified? Since plasma is disassociated atoms it is always highly charged, conductive, and magnetic yet despite it's seeming chaos, it self organizes into intergalactic filaments. Why?

what is electric charge? Baby don't shock me, don't shock me, no more.

I just thought about it and it seems kinda obvious now. Of course electrons have the properties they do because they are just excitation of the fields. although I still can't figure out why the fields we have are what they are and not something else. And what causes those fields to get excited in the first place.
@ScienceAsylum
5 жыл бұрын
Don't worry about it. It's usually taught backwards, so a lot of people eventually have to ask questions like yours. Usually, it's said something like "the electron has these properties," when in reality it's the unique collection of properties that we call an "electron." Particles are _defined_ by their properties and those properties are (mostly) just directly measured. We don't really know why they have those specific values.

@@ScienceAsylum What's your opinion of models of the fundamental particles (quarks, electrons, the Bosons) as regions of the quantum field with toroidal geometry? The representations of the electron as a dipolar torus rather than a point particle in particular make sense to me, after learning of how toroidal magnetohydrodynamic systems remain stable (like ball lightning, smoke rings, tornadoes, fusion reactors or the reversed field configuration plasmoid) and non-linear optical media behave when excited beyond a critical energy ie. Wave-mixing/holography. Some theories include: The model of the toroidal electron having closed poloidal and toroidal field lines. The surface of the electron or other dipoles has out-of-phase magnetic and electric field vectors, the so-called 'near-field' of the antenna system. This also makes the concept of an 'orbital' make more sense to me, as a toroidal topology can distort around an atomic nucleus while conserving the energy-momentum relation, giving rise to the many bizarrely shaped orbitals. Since the internal structure of the electron is formed by the coupling of the Higgs field and the Electromagnetic fields of two gamma rays interfering, it seems logical to me that electrons are an interference pattern that is stable because of the spin contributions of the Higgs particle and one of the force carrying Bosons with complimentary spin vector to make a toroidal topology in the metric tensor. Interference patterns that form standing waves can have many 'point-like' constructive interference nodes as well as regions of destructive interference where the amplitude is zero. This would mimic our observation that electrons are spread out in a probability field, when the sub-structure is actually a kind of volumetric hologram composed of circulating EM waves in superposition, with electric field vectors extending to infinity being the consequence of the standing wave electromagnetic fields that non-dissipatively radiate from the electron.
