| Dec 16, 2021 at 12:31 | comment | added | AccidentalTaylorExpansion | Veritasium is wrong in the sense that this current will be too tiny to light up any physical light bulb but in theory a small current will go through the bulb. | |
| Dec 16, 2021 at 12:31 | comment | added | Physor | What about the first point ? | |
| Dec 16, 2021 at 12:30 | comment | added | AccidentalTaylorExpansion | Veritasium is only slightly wrong. In theory a switch closing anywhere in the universe is enough to "light up" the bulb. A closing switch causes an electromagnetic disturbance that travels outwards. That can cause a non-zero Poytning vector in some other nearby wire and in turn that can create a small current . See also this video youtube.com/… . Every realistic wire has some inductance so you can see this setup as a transformer with very large spacing between the two coils. | |
