Yatzhiry - Episode 1a (Period 2)

This is the first episode of a new podcast about electricity. The guest, Yadziri, explains that electricity is made up of protons and electrons. When the electrons are pushed out of their orbit, they shift from one atom to another and create electricity. The current is the flow of electrons, which actually goes in the opposite direction of the positive charge. The host asks Yadziri about his favorite particle, but he jokes that he's neutral about both protons and electrons. The segment ends, and they thank each other for being on the podcast. Welcome to the first ever episode of a new electrifying podcast. This is a shocking podcast. In this podcast, we will talk all things electricity, ranging from history to mechanics. Today, we will welcome guests, each expert in their fields, to shed some light on some illuminating topics. Please help welcoming my first guest, Yadziri. Hi. Yadziri specializes in electricity and also won tons of awards. Can you tell us a little bit about electricity? Yeah, so we use electricity every day from charging your phones to turning on your lights. But no one really thinks about how electricity actually works. So what exactly is electricity? Well, electricity is made up from existing particles, specifically protons and electrons. And how do these protons and electrons make electricity? Well, the electrons in the shell are closest to the nucleus, which makes them have a stronger force of attraction to the protons. But that's not the case all the time. Sometimes the electrons out of shell doesn't have enough force to attract the protons. Now the electrons are able to push out of their orbit, which can apply a force to making them shift from one atom to another. This shifting causes electrons to become electricity. Another thing is the current, which also plays a big part of the process of electricity. Now, a current is a flow of electrons at first. At first, people think that they go the same direction, but they don't. They actually go the opposite direction because the current flows from positive to negative and the electrons do the opposite. Wow, how fascinating. Well, since we're talking about protons and electrons, which one is your favorite, a proton or an electron? You know, I'm pretty neutral about both of them. Ha ha, you joke. Well, we're all out of time for this segment today. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much for having me.
