Hey, it's me, Destin. I'm in Baltimore. [Mascot blows raspberries] [Destin laughs] Thanks. [Music]

So let's say you want to make yourself smarter on electronics, but you're not, uh... You're not really swoofed on that kinda stuff. Oh, looky here, it's the National Electronics Museum. Why don't we go have a look?

John McCarty is here. He's a volunteer at the museum. We have a demonstration for you to show you the relation between current flow and magnetism. So there's a magnet right here, on this side of this tube. We have a coil of wire hooked up to a galvanometer, basically, that's measuring amps. It's set up for DC amps.

So when we twist this, the magnet's gonna fall through the coil and you'll get current flow here. So you can see the current spike. So here's the question: when we turn it the other way, are we going to get positive current or negative current? So that's the question.

So if you think it's gonna be positive - if the needle's gonna go that way, click here. If you think the needle's gonna go that way, click here, and afterwards we'll get Mr. McCarty to explain it, so... Click now. [Music]

Galileo the Scientific Parrot

Okay, so we’re at the University of Sydney to experiment with Dr. Phil’s dead bird. He’s a famous scientist, this guy. He helped us out back in, uh, the 16th century, I think. Uh, the 17th century, isn’t it? 17th century, 1600s. Thank you! Galileo was, u…

Open primaries, closed primaries, and blanket primaries | US government and civics | Khan Academy

Let’s talk about primary elections, which are often known as primaries. One way to think about them is that they’re just preliminary elections used to get down to a fewer number of candidates. A very simple example would be, let’s say there is a congressi…
