If you get a high enough electric field, the material will have a current and we call that material an electric conductor. So, can anything have an electric current running through it? Yes. Electric current isn't so much different than a river of water. You often hear people saying 'flowing current' - and that's just fine. What is an electric current? Essentially, if you create an electric field inside some material, you can get the electrons in that material to move. Let's go over some of these concepts.Įlectric Current. The Physics of Magnets and 'Holding a Charge'Īctually, I think this scene brings up most of the key ideas in the second semester of physics: electric charge, electric current, and magnetic fields. However, when you try to bring an actual physics explanation into the plot, it doesn't always have to be 100% correct, but it shouldn't be clearly wrong.

For Electro, they just show him doing super villain stuff. Why is this bad science but the whole Electro super power thing is ok? The big difference is in the appeal to Science. He can become invisible and he can travel through electric cables.

Electro can shoot stuff that looks like lightning out of his hands.

After that, he obtained his super powers.

He was some dude that was shocked while falling into a tank with mutant electric eels that bit him (or something like that).

Here are some key points regarding Electro and his powers. Let's start with Electro (one of the main super villains in the film). Oh, why am I waiting so long to talk about this movie? Because now that it is available digitally, I finally got a chance to see it. I'm not going to give away anything that you wouldn't already know from watching the trailer, but I just don't want anyone to get upset. I will be discussing some aspects of the plot in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It's possible that the producers and directors just decided to ignore the science advisor. Ok, I know that is entirely possible that there are some awesome science advisors for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and that these people pointed out the problems I will talk about. I am going to suggest that the producers for the next Spider-Man movie think about science advisors.
