The misconception is that electrons carry potential energy around a complete conducting circuit, transferring their energy to the load. ????SUBSCRIBE to see all of our videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/Veritasiume... A more detailed analysis of the big circuit can be checked out here: https://ve42.co/bigcircuit Special thanks to Dr. Geraint Lewis for posing this question in the first place and discussing it with us. Check out his and Dr. Chris Ferrie's new book here: https://ve42.co/Universe2021 Special thanks to Dr. Robert Olsen for his expertise. He literally wrote the book on transmission lines, which you can find here: https://ve42.co/Olsen2018 Special thanks to Dr. Richard Abbott for running a real-life experiment to test the model. Many thanks to all the experts we talked to for this video: Dr. Karl Berggren, Dr. Bruce Hunt, Dr. Paul Stanley, Dr. Joe Steinmeyer, Ian Sefton, and Dr. David G Vallancourt. ▀▀▀ References: A great video on the Poynting vector by Science Asylum: • Circuit Energy doesn't FLOW the way y...
