Dear Physicists,
A break from your usual heavy science, might ease a bit .
Im trying to reconcile the concept :
Earth is both an energy absorber and a conductor
Let :
E : energy EME : electromagnetic energy MgE : magnetic Energy
M : mass EE : electrical energy H : heat
ME : mechanical energy
( my general definition)
Energy conductor : is letting energy to pass thru, providing nearest path to the E source
Energy absorber : is receiving E and releasing a counter E until the net sum is zero. Also receives E in any form and transforms it to other forms.
Premise 1.
Earth is used as the return conductor for a dc transmission sys.
Premise 2. Earth as an energy absorber.
a. Lightning : it is an EME with an equivalent mass( by einstein’s theory), Earth is mass, two mass attracts, (by gravitational force), Earth releases counter E to lightning making net energy exchange to zero.(lightning is absorbed)
b. An isolated generator with its output is directly connected to earth,
In the counter reaction of E between Earth & generator, the earth’s E is transformed to EME (back emf creating counter magnetomotive force) which tends to stop the shaft. All E is transformed to H, in the process pushing material strenght limits, more heat until energy is back to zero.
c. The natural flow of EE to the Earth is analogous to water seeking the path of less resistance, to a position of lowest potential energy.( its high potential energy is absorb by the earth)
I’m using the above premises as the purpose or reason for using a ground rod or ground rod beds.” which is to provide a low resistance path for Earth to absorb the leakage ( short circuit to ground) energy and of lightning energy.
I’m an electrical technician just trying to understand electrical phenomenon in easier way.
Your opinions is appreciated
Thanks
