Static electricity was discovered centuries ago that certain types of materials would mysteriously attract one another after being rubbed together.…
The electrons of different types of atoms have different degrees of freedom to move around. With some types of materials,…
You might have been wondering how electrons can continuously flow in a uniform direction through wires without the benefit of…
As was previously mentioned, we need more than just a continuous path (circuit) before a continuous flow of electrons will…
The circuit in the previous section is not a very practical one. In fact, it can be quite dangerous to…
Because it takes energy to force electrons to flow against the opposition of a resistance, there will be voltage manifested…
When Benjamin Franklin made his conjecture regarding the direction of charge flow (from the smooth wax to the rough wool),…
