What is electricity? - Electricity Explained - (1)

Electricity playlist:    • Electricity  

What is electricity? How does electricity work? What do electrons do? What is short circuiting? These are all questions answered in this video: A fundamental explainer on what electricity is and how it works.

In following videos we'll look at voltage, ampere, ohm (resistance) and many more electricity related topics. All of this is to build a foundation of knowledge to serve all the future (and past) videos here on Into The Ordinary.

A couple of choices were made during the production of this video, that can be helpful to know:
- I chose to mention the Bohr-model in relation to the orbital model to bring the point across that there is more to atoms than just this. The What Are Atoms? video better explains orbitals than this video does, though.
- I intentionally used the word "shells" instead of orbits because it better catches what electrons are in real life, although still a simplification. This video is about electricity, not particle physics.
- Power generation, how batteries work, amps, volts, ohms, are all topics I want to address in separate videos.
- There will probably be a few more questions about this video, which I will try to address in the comments or in the description, here.

Never directly connect a wire to both holes of a wall socket, and never directly connect a wire to both ends of a battery! This can be dangerous and potentially life threatening!

As an Electrical Engineer, I certify the information is accurate and incredibly easy to understand. Well done, Creator!

This is exactly what education is missing these days. Get something complex and turn it into ordinary. So everyone can learn.

I am a science teacher. I struggled teaching about electricity and magnetism because I couldn't find any material that truly explained how it works in simple terms. Everything I found seemed way too confusing and overcomplicated. This is brilliant! Thanks, I will be using these videos to educate my kids. Way to go

You just turned 4 weeks of learning and 12 hours of homework into a 10 minute video. Well done this is EXTREMELY helpful to me (and probably many others)

I am a Physics teacher and I always look for easier ways to teach my students and make things clear. Thank you for this video. It is very useful. And the way the animation and the narration goes its so perfect. Am looking forward to more videos from you.

Actually im just 13 years old and i like to study about atoms. But no such videos were there! In your video, you explained slowly and gently, thats what makes people understand in better way! Thank you soo much whoever you are!

I wish the teacher had explained it this clearly back when I was in school! Thank you for this great video.

when 3 years of chemistry class taught you almost nothing, but this 10 minute youtube video saved you from repeating class

I’ve never commented on a YouTube video in my life. But I swear to god or whoever you believe in, I learned more about electricity in that 11 mins then I have my entire electrical apprenticeship. That was eye opening 😂😂😂😂

As a heating engineer, I would like to thank my old tech college instructor for teaching me Ohms Law - as 'Virgins Are Rare' and 'Where Virgins Are'. As a 17 year-old , it was a brilliant way to remember how to work out wattage, voltage, amps, and resistance. It's never left me, and I'm 62, now. I use it almost weekly in my job. I only came on here to refresh my memory on the name of the outermost electron cloud.

thanks, man.. I'm 31 years old now, never understand physic in high school, and always curious about how electricity is actually work.. wish there was video like this in that time..

Update June 2019: Wow! So many views! And so many people having added translations! I hadn't noticed - thanks to Dimitrios for bringing it to my attention. The community contributed captions will aide this video in helping more people. Thanks to everyone who contributed! Original: This video will serve as a basis for other, electricity-related videos, such as one on VHS machines or curling irons. This one's very long compared to my other videos, for a good reason. I wanted to clearly lay down the fundamentals of electricity and its electrons before moving on to amperes, voltage, watts, ohms, et cetera. Thank you for watching :)

I don’t consider myself stupid, but I never really understood some of these high-level concepts until now. Thank you for sharing this.

I have never appreciated anyone that this deserve. And I also don't comment like 99 percent of the time and this video is just mind boggling. This guy gets a subscribe. The way he keeps it for beginners to grasp is just outstanding! I don't think I have seen a youtuber this much committed to explain physics. Keep posting you will be the best!
