What Your Teacher Got Wrong About Electricity

You touched a doorknob and got a shock. You were told electricity flows through conductors and not insulators. You memorized it, passed the test, and moved on. But that sentence is missing the most important word in all of physics and once you hear it, you will never look at a wire, a lightning bolt, or a bird sitting calmly on a power line the same way again. In this video, you will discover why electricity does not simply flow through things it flows through available paths based on voltage difference and resistance. You will find out why a bird can sit on a wire carrying tens of thousands of volts and feel absolutely nothing. You will learn what Georg Simon Ohm, James Clerk Maxwell, and Richard Feynman actually understood about current that your textbook quietly left out. And you will finally understand why completing a circuit not touching a conductor is the only thing that actually matters. If this changed how you see electricity, hit like and subscribe. There is a lot more the textbook never told you. #electricity #physics #sciencefacts #howelectricityworks #ohmslaw #voltage #current #resistance #electricalengineering #physicsexplained #birdsonpowerlines #circuit #electromagnetism #jamesclerckmaxwell #richardfeynman #educationalvideo #scienceeducation #didyouknow #mindblown #stem
