Go!!

1, 2, 3, a song about 'lectricity because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive. Because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive.

Oh, 4, 5, 6, volts of potential difference makes electrons go round if the circuit is complete and sound. Circuit's closed.

Voltage! There! Current flows! Power everywhere! We use AC, in factories and homes because we can transform it. High voltage transmits with lower loss, but low voltage is best for safety.

I said, what is electricity? Well, so, 1, 2, 3, a song about 'lectricity because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive. Because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive.

Oh, 4, 5, 6, volts of potential difference makes electrons go round if the circuit is complete and sound. Heat makes steam, turns turbines, and a magnet in coils of wires.

We use AC in factories and homes because we can transform it. High voltage transmits with lower loss, but low voltage is best for safety.

I said, what is electricity? Oh yeah, oh yeah, c'mon! How'd it be no energy of the electrical persuasion? I know we'd have no computers, no internet, or mobile phones, yeah!

Powers the world, makes the world, we need electricity, yeah!

Impedance vs frequency

In this video, we’re going to continue talking about AC analysis and the concept of impedance as the ratio of voltage to current in an AC situation. Just as a reminder of the assumptions we’ve made for AC analysis, we’ve assumed that all of our signals ar…

Jamestown - John Smith and Pocahontas

So, after getting a very late start, the English finally started a new world colony on the coast of North America in 1607. It was here at Jamestown. The English colonists at Jamestown could not have been less prepared to settle a new world. They came from…

What's in a Lichen? How Scientists Got It Wrong for 150 Years | Short Film Showcase

My favorite thing about lichens is that they’re always out there. So anytime you go on a walk and go on a bike, go float the river, you can go out and collect. Like, it’s into a winter when you’re skiing. You only see lichens; so like, until they cover ab…
