To understand how electricity works, we need to zoom in on atoms, the things that make up all matter.

Atoms are made up of three basic particles.

That is, protons, which have a positive electric charge, neutrons, which have no electric charge, and electrons, which have a negative electric charge.

The protons and neutrons are tightly packed in the core or nucleus of an atom,

while electrons move about this nucleus in regions known as shells or orbitals.

Right now, this atom is electrically neutral, as it has the same number of protons and electrons.

With enough energy, an electron may be stripped away, leaving the atom with a net positive charge.

Likewise, another atom may receive a freed electron, which then makes the atom electrically negative.

When we have two objects with different electric charges due to the absence or presence of excess electrons, we say that we have static electricity.

We can demonstrate this using a balloon and a soda can.

When I rub a piece of cloth against the balloon, I strip away electrons from the piece of cloth and add them to the balloon.

As a result, this balloon now has a net negative charge.

When we bring it close to the can, the can chases the balloon.

Let's look at why that's happening.

The aluminum in the can is a conductor, which means that the electrons can freely move about the material.

As we bring the negatively charged balloon near the metal, the electrons are pushed away to the far side of the can since like charges repel.

That leaves an excess of positive charge on the side of the can nearest the balloon, which is pulled toward the balloon as opposite charges attract.

Since the positive charges are closer to the balloon than the negative charges, the attractive force is greater than the repulsive force.

This results in a net force that pulls the can toward the balloon.

Let's see that again in instant replay.

Before we go any further, let's talk about units.

The SI unit for electric charge is the coulomb, generally abbreviated with an uppercase C.

An electron has a charge of about negative 1 .602 times 10 to the negative 19th coulombs,

and a proton has a charge of about positive 1 .602 times 10 to the negative 19th coulombs.

Energy is usually given in joules, which is abbreviated with the symbol uppercase J.

1 joule is equal to the amount of energy transferred to an object

when a force of 1 newton is applied to that object over a distance of 1 meter.

Energy can either be potential, which results from an object's position or arrangement, or kinetic, resulting from the object's motion.

Both kinetic and potential energy are given in joules.

Now we can define voltage.

Voltage is a measure of electric potential between two points.

The unit, volt, is defined as one joule of potential energy per unit charge given in coulombs.

Let's explain this with an example.

Let's say that I've got a particle with a negative one coulomb of charge.

Then, let's say there is a particle with positive one coulomb of charge next to it.

Since opposites attract and the positive particle is as close as it can get to the negative particle, everything is at rest.

There is no kinetic or potential energy.

Now, let's say

that I need to use 10 joules of energy to move the positive particle from its resting position to this point.

If I were to release it, it would move back to the negative particle.

As a result, we can say that it has 10 joules of electric potential energy so long as I hold it here.

Now, if I repeated this demo with three positively charged particles,

it would take 30 joules of energy to move them the same distance away from the negative particle.

So they have 30 joules of potential energy as long as I'm holding them here.

As we defined earlier, voltage is the electric potential between two points.

To calculate the voltage between their starting and ending points, we know that I did 30 joules of work to move the particles,

and the total charge is 3 coulombs.

So the voltage is 30 joules divided by 3 coulombs, which is 10 volts.

We would say that the electric potential between these two points is 10 volts.

If I released one of the particles, it would move back to the negatively charged particle.

That would leave me with 20 joules of potential energy and 2 coulombs of charge, so the potential is still 10 volts.

Even if I had no positive particles, the potential between the two points is still 10 volts.

As you can see, electric potential energy is not the same as electric potential.

When we start talking about moving electrons through conductors and electronic components, we are talking about current electricity, which is slightly different than static electricity.

Let's take a look at a battery.

It doesn't really matter how far apart the terminals of a battery are.

The chemicals inside a battery determine the electrical potential between the terminals.

A fully charged AA alkaline battery is listed as having 1 .5 volts.

That means each coulomb of charge moving from one end of the battery will do 1 .5 joules of work.

Now, compare that to a much larger D -cell battery.

Each coulomb of charge will still only do 1 .5 joules of work, but a D -cell has far more coulombs of charge than a AA.

As a result, D -cells will last a lot longer than AA batteries, doing the same amount of work.

Static electricity can be a lot of fun, but more often than not, it's considered dangerous or a nuisance.

One of the most dramatic displays of static electricity happens in nature.

Storm clouds can build up a potential difference of millions of volts when compared to the Earth.

And at some point, the electrons actually force their way through the air, creating lightning in order to balance out that charge difference.

This sudden flow of electricity in an attempt to neutralize two statically charged objects is known as electrostatic discharge, or ESD.

While lightning is a rather extreme display of electrostatic buildup and discharge, static electricity can still be quite useful.

For example, many factory and power plant smokestacks employ a technology

that uses static electricity to pull soot and ash out of the air as it flows up through the pipe, resulting in less pollution.

Also, most cars are painted using a process called powder coating.

In this, paint leaving the spray nozzle is given an electric charge, and the car body is given a different electric charge,

which creates a stronger bond between the paint and the car body.

This allows for a more uniform paint coverage

and reduces paint waste since less of it's likely to stick around in the air or drip off the car body.

Next time we'll dive into current electricity and talk about making it do work for us.

Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
