So in the battle between Telsa and Edison what was the issue as to which
type of current was better. Why did the world decided on AC?
Thanks.

So that’s why light bulbs flicker in slow motion….

Yeeeeeeeee, I’m 26 years old and no one in my life taught me the basics of
electricity. Thank you very much, you lighted up a Lightbulb in the
darkness of my ignorance

I have a switching power supply that came with my router that says AD12v.
What does that mean? I want to use it with my programmer that says it
requires a 12v DC. It fits but I don’t know if I’m going to be able to use
it.

Great video, thank you for the very good explanation.

can the current or voltage produced in faraday’s magnetic induction be
stored in a battery

This is very interesting! 🙂 It really helped me. Thanks!

I just have a question regarding AC vs DC and electricity in general. So
electric current is just the flow of electrons. So when electrons flow in
whatever direction, energy is generated as a result of just the flow of
electrons?
I also know that AC current changes polarity so often. How does this work
in real life if say a light bulb always seems to be emitting the same
amount of light in an AC circuit?

My real question is: what for? why not use DC for everything!

what is surface current and inner flow current

So is AC useless for anything other than light bulbs though? If it
alternates then I don’t see how it could work for a motor…

wait. If one Hertz is one cycle and and there are at least 50 of them
running through light and each cycle has causes a light brighten twice
(once per polarity) then isn’t my light flashing at least 100 times a
second? Also, what is causing the increase in Voltage if the Amperage
(current) is staying the same in the first place? a magical decrease in
Ohms? I just want to understand this stuff better

I have a question: How is it possible to make something AC rather than DC,
I mean the electrons are always heading to the positive side of the
battery.

Is it possible to alternate current from a AC motor ? How ? Nice video :)

In the animation,why do u show the direction of current from positive
terminal of a battery to negative terminal of a battery,because current is
a flow of electrons and it should be from negative to positive..
Please help its confusing…..Why do different video shows different
direction.

Is it not so that electrons actually goes from – to + in a DC setup?

hey I just wanna say you’re awesome and you explain it so well and clearly.
A caveman brain like me finally understand how AC and DC work. Thank you
kindly sir.

I have a question,We know that electrons are negatively charged,so they are
attracted by positive charge.
How do they inter change their direction in AC circuit?
