I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this thread but...
Are they possible? I have been watching a lot of StarGate SG-1 and other movies that deal with these two issues. First I want to know if matter can be effectively molecularized and reassambled in its original form (anything -...
I don't see how voltage (in a series circuit)is dropped by a resistor if there is more than one connected (divides the voltage) EX: 12V total and 2 resistors diving it into two 6-Volt sections. Wouldn't that drop the WHOLE voltage to 6V? AND Why would a resitor drop VOLTAGE? Shouldn't it resist...
Oh, and by the way -- if your Dad (who is also your electronics teacher) would like to teach you that electrons move at the speed of light in a wire, you should really attempt to get a new electronics teacher (a real professor, not an "electronics technician," would be a good bet)...
All right, Chroot. I'll leave you alone and not ask you any more. i'll reflect on previous posts and gather what I can present it and walk away triumphant.
Thnx for the help.
Do you just not WANT to understand the way things work, or what? I've spent quite a bit of time explaining how things work, but you seem to be fighting me tooth and nail.
More like I'm not understanding how I am going to prove this to some one else.
Oh, and Thnx for explaining the "hall...
. Far cry from instantaneous
Hey, I wasn't the one who suggested that it happens instantaneously. That's impposible (according to physics). That or a paradox exists. I know it takes a short time (none-the-less *TIME*)to reach its destination.
What *I* want to know is: if electrons...
Did you not read the page on the Hall effect? Did you not look in a first-year physics textbook as I told you to do? I'm sorry, but I don't have the time or inclination to type out here what is readily available elsewhere. Read the page to learn how the Hall effect works, and how you can measure...
Here I put this in quotes from a article of research on electricity:
In a solid, the current consists not of a few electrons moving rapidly but of many electrons moving slowly; although this drift of electrons is slow, the impulse that causes it moves through the circuit, when the circuit is...
Changes in the electric field propagate at or below the speed of light
Changes? Changes? What changes are you talking about? Elaborate on changes. Because I want to know what DOES move at the speed of light. I believe it is the a impulse as stated earlier. If you say "changes in polarity"...
(Any first-year physics text will also include this information.)
You can set up your very own apparatus and measure the Hall voltage with your own voltmeter. The Hall voltage is related very simply to the drift velocity of the charge carriers.
Why don't you digest this information for a...
I wonder if that's true that you can see them.
I'm sorry, but who ever told you that lied. We got lucky just getting a picture of one *big* atom. (we have seen uranium - and I've seen the video clip of it) but seeing how uranium is 237 times bigger than hydrogen, and hydrogen has only one...
There are, in fact, many simple experiments that can be done to demonstrate the drift velocity of electrons. The Hall effect, for example, provides one mechanism to measure it.
My dad said that he would consider it if he had some visible proof in the form of a research paper or experiment...
I have no idea what you intend to discuss with this thread.
That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Your opinion on my post and where you stand in light of it. For it against it, or somewhere else.
I just want to know if someone else besides be beleives this.
My dad has been an...
To explain the "speed-of-light" part of electricity I will use some analogies. First of all you must understand that electrical "enery" is like sound waves that move throught "air". Where the waves are the energy (that move fast) and Air (which transmits the wave). Same with electrons and...
Electricity doesn't move at the speed of light??
I recently have read (in several aticles) that have presented evidence that "electrons" do not actually flow at the speed of light (and electron movement is thought to be "electricity"). If you argue that "Yes electricity DOES flow at the speed...
