Episode: Myth: Path of Least Resistance - Short #154
Description: In this short podcast, Bryan debunks the myth that electricity only takes the path of least resistance. It is true that more current will typically take paths of lower resistance; it's much easier for more electrons to flow through a path with lower resistance, which is consistent with Ohm's law. Ohm's law states that a circuit will have higher current with you have lower resistance so long as the voltage stays the same. In most cases, the voltage stays relatively constant; transformers don't often need to limit their currents, so there usually isn't a voltage d...
