The invisible conservation law governing every spark and circuit
In short: Understand the fundamental nature of electric charge. This video explores how scientists like Benjamin Franklin generalized our understanding of electricity, moving from observation to a core principle of physics.
Electric charge is a fundamental property where the total amount within a system remains constant, even as individual charges move. While the overall quantity is conserved, these charges can flow through conductors to create what we recognize as electric current.
By studying these dynamics, scientists established the framework for modern electronics and electromagnetism.
