Light from Gases (Electrical Properties of Materials #8)
What is so special about silicon? Why are some materials more conductive to electricity than others? Where does static electricity come from? This 14-video lecture series introduces electronics from a materials perspective, and is based on a course which all freshman engineering students take at the National University of Singapore.
In this video:
00:14 Nixie tubes
01:56 Van de Graff generator with two electrodes
03:03 Tesla coil ionizing argon, neon, hydrogen, helium, mercury vapor, and krypton
Nearly 70 additional practice problems are available in the MOOC version of this course, along with supplemental videos:
