but if conventional current doesn't reflect reality, why do we still use it? I believe actual electron current was found decades if not a century ago, why couldn't engineers change to this since this time? if it's indifferent, why not use? or if it's indifferent and we don't use it, why do we need to talk about it? shouldn't be more straightforward to use electron current? isn't being straightforward is one of the most important engineering principles?

Suppose we have a wire connected to only negative end of battery, we know there will be some surface charges on the wire in order to cancel the electric field produced by the battery. So does it mean battery has accumulated some net positive charge? But textbooks says batteries can't accumulate charges. This should change it's potential too

I'll be honest for some reason I always thought that electricity flowed from positive to negative but now that I've started an engineering apprenticeship, I've wanted answers to my questions. Thank you for your explanations and videos. it's truly sad that teachers and school curriculums could not explain it this well. :)

so basically an anode loses electrons due to the electrolyte forcing it to, which makes it positively charged, and a cathode gains electrons making it negatively charged and it loses ions, and the process keeps going until the battery dies and a charger connects to an electrode which reverses the reaction

This might be simple, and I might be over thinking it, but how do the electrons travel through multiple batteries placed in series like at 13: 24 if the positive and negative do not make contact inside the battery?

Best I have seen. 9: 49 from where that free electron comes from? Im guessing Some Zn electrons go to the cathode beside the ones going to the anode? Or it comes from the already closed circuit? Thanks

They say a picture speaks a thousand words but your video speaks a million.
I'm looking for a high quality battery charger and this video expertly covers some of my ancillary research.

I'm here because my plug point malfunction. I need to change my socket point and before that I need to learn all about electricity and battery, ampere, voltage, coulomb, mcb, elcb and whatnot.

I came here just because I was curious about batteries but you cleared some basic topics of my studies which always confused me while getting harder topics. So thankU for that too.

Interesting and informative - APART FROM misusing the word battery all the way through. The word CELL should have been used. A battery is series combination of 2 or more cells.

The larger batteries must be capable of running longer and providing more current as they are larger. The C and D batteries hold more chemical reactions than AA, AAA or AAAA?

I guess my only confusion with understanding batteries after watching this video is how a separator is able to let OH- go through but not electrons which are much smaller.

Why does connecting battery in series increase voltage? when - and + are connected between batteries that should let the electrons flow and close a circuit

Is that an anode at 3: 51? You just said at 3: 10 that the barrier will separate the anode and CATHODE from direct contact. Someone, plz explain?

interesting, did you not call both materials anodes thpugh? or atleast youn definitely did not not meantion what material is the cathode.

In series connected batteries, why electrons don't flow from anode of one battery to cathode of second battery when the circuit is open?

I feel like you are confusing anode and cathode, the anode is the magense and the cathode is the electrolyte zinc material right?

After watching this video I wonder how bad my teachers were in explaining concepts or they just didn't have enough knowledge

I think you better explain why you're calling the positive terminal a Cathode, when a Cathode is defined as being negative.

At end, all electrons are deposited at cathode ( positive terminal) of battery and hence the battery stops working?
