why you didn't say like electricity
You might find this HN discussion interesting, its full of good explanations for different electrical concepts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26362492
Electric current comes to mind.
Couldn't there be electromagnetic resistance too ?
does this flow effect work with the water analogy of electricity?
Funny how it's a parallel to electric current having the "wrong" sign...
current flow isn't always a literal flow of electrons, but in a wire or transistor it isyou probably should trust your electromagnetism textbook more than a youtube video
Maybe I misunderstand.. but isn't it allowing electricity to flow without heating ?
Yes, electricity doesn’t move instantly
TIL electricity is a physical thing.
