Hi Jim,
Once again your wisdom has helped me understand a topic I've been struggling with. The idea, all charge must find a path back to its source, and the fact that its one of kirchhoffs laws made it a turning point for me. When I was looking deeper into that idea I found this quote from you...
Hi Dave, Thanks for taking the time to help me out with this one.
Ive heard that theory before and believe it must be true. I just can't see how. So its said electricity wants to return to its source and nothing else. Its source in the case of a residential home would be the secondary of the...
Hi everyone,
Basic question here. Residential pole mounted transformers and many other transformers that produce a neutral have that neutral "center taped" from a current carrying coil in the transformer and bonded to ground. My question is why doesn't the current in the coil short threw that...
Thanks for conformation and extra input and tip to learn the conventional hand rules. I have a better understanding of xl now. I am an not and engineer or tech but an electrician. I'm just not satisfied not knowing how some of the basic components of an electrical system like a transformer...
Hi jim,
First of all thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it.
Now the drawing you posted with the 4 coils and magnets helped. I had to study it for quit a while and also figure out the direction of the current flow was based on the right hand rule and not the...
Lenz law states the induced emf in any circuit is always in a direction to oppose the effect that produced it. So my question is,
1. Does this mean xl creates a difference in potential and actual electrons flowing in the opposite direction or just oppose the current direction that created it...
