MEP EP#305: Electron Congo LineThe Big Misconception About Electricity
Veritasium
YouTube video
Is this really a big hidden secret?
There is nothing incorrect but...
Problems with the explanation
Lack of context
Doesn't go far enough on the explanation and would leave new hobbyist asking more questions then it answered
Light bulb question at the beginning of the video
How long does it take for a light bulb to turn on if the wires connecting it are a light-second long.
Parker's quick "practical" answe
“Instant” You are pushing the already existing electrons in the wire. An electron doesn't have to flow all the way around?
Dave Jones' response?
Does this damage Veritasium's image for Electrical engineers?
