| I'm afraid that's a consequence of short attention spans. I'd suggest hitting pause when need be, and be sure to watch the previous videos mentioned in the title screen. They help lay the foundation you need to understand what's going on without seeing every little detail. Also, there's a link to the transcript in the video's description. |

| I dont think "short attention spans" have anything to do with not being able to catch details in something put in fast forward. I'm afraid that assumption is a consequence of arrogance. Also, it's hard to hear all of your words with your background music. That goes for the few videos of yours I've watched. |

| To clarify, I developed the video with short attention spans in mind. My goal was to spark viewer interest, hence the fast-pace and background music. I did not want it to be a dry step-by-step video. I am sorry if you expected something else. Again, if you have difficulty hearing the words. I have provided a transcript in the description. I also assumed that given the format, hitting pause and watching for a second time were options. Watched the previous videos in the series is also helpful. |

| in this video you can see the application of electromagnets and electromagnetic induction in electromagnet if there is an iron surrounded by a coil that has a current flowing in it causes the iron to become a magnet and while in electromagnetic induction the change in the magnetic field induce electricity. so more loops of coil more electricity and magnetic field so the coil moves faster |

| I made one in about 10 minutes but it took a lot of tweaking to get the right balance and distance of the loop from the magnet. It works though. |
