Richard Feynman Explains the Big Misconception About ELECTRICITY

You think you understand electricity.
It’s just electrons flowing through wires, right?
Energy goes from the battery to the bulb like water through a pipe.

That explanation feels comfortable.
And that’s exactly why it’s wrong.

Flip a light switch and the bulb turns on instantly — not after electrons crawl their way from a distant power station, but immediately.
So what’s really happening?
If electrons drift slower than a snail, how does energy appear almost at once?

In this video, inspired by Richard Feynman’s unique way of thinking about physics, we dismantle the biggest misconception about electricity:
the idea that energy “flows” through wires the way people imagine.

We explore why:
Electrons move slowly, yet electrical effects appear instantly
Energy doesn’t primarily travel inside the wire
Electric fields — not moving particles — tell the real story
Circuits only make sense as whole systems, not piece by piece
Resistance isn’t friction, fatigue, or loss — but energy transformation

What emerges is a picture of electricity that is stranger, subtler, and far more beautiful than the simple analogies most of us were taught.

This is not about memorizing formulas.
It’s about learning to be comfortable with explanations that feel unintuitive — because nature doesn’t owe us simplicity.
