    Why does AC have zero average drift velocity but still transmit power?

    Perfect, well understood thank you!

    Why does AC have zero average drift velocity but still transmit power?

    Perfect... understood! So definitelly the averafe drift veoocity is zero. Correct? Although work is always there, whether positive or negative

    Why does AC have zero average drift velocity but still transmit power?

    Really liked the analogy. Let me get this right... Rod=electrons Weight=work done (power) Right?

    Why does AC have zero average drift velocity but still transmit power?

    So let's compartimentalise the two topics: 1. drift velocity 2. Power Power only takes in consideration phases for V and I and it disregard the concept of zero drift velocity. Right?

    Why does AC have zero average drift velocity but still transmit power?

    Understood the concept for reverse power. If I draw cartesian diagrams of the waveforms help. So basically nothing to do with current drift

    Why does AC have zero average drift velocity but still transmit power?

    Hi All I hope this topic makes sense for this forum and somebody can help me to understand. This is what I understand (please allow numerical approximations): 1. Electrons move in a conductor at a speed anywhere near the speed of light. 2. Electrons gain actual velocity (drift) only when...
