Episode: What Is Electric Current? - Ivor Catt, Electrical Engineer
Description: This is the second installment of a multipart series with famed electric heretic Ivor Catt. This time, he is here to tell us the story of the Catt question: where does the instantaneous negative charge on the bottom conductor of a simple circuit come from? A satisfying answer to the question would require us to rewire the common conception of how electrical current moves through a circuit, and so has occupied Ivor for decades. the conversation digs into Catt's question, the potential solution of Heaviside energy current, and the stodgy nature of academic science.
