Electrical Power, Conductors, & Your Dream Home: Crash Course Engineering #21
Today, we’ll explore the materials electrical engineers work with. We’ll look at high-conductors, insulators, and how low-conductivity conductors can be used to generate light and heat.
Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.
