So does anyone have some recommended reading? I live in Sheboygan, WI, bratwurst capitol of the world, and would be happy to compensate your suggestions with some brats and beer. Thanks

What about electron and proton spin? I'm under the impression that a rotating body, such as the earth, will generate a magnetic field with opposite poles at each end of its axis of rotation. Does each particle create their own magnetic field due to its spinning? And in turn, if a number of...

Thanks. Sophiecentaur, in another post you mention: When someone asks "what, exactly, is ...?", they are really asking "what familiar thing is it most like?". For Electricity, there isn'a any really good answer. There is hope, however. Maths does a very job of telling you 'how electricity...

I'd like to read into the subject of what voltage and current truly seem to be - any suggestions on good material?

But does the movement of the electron cause the electric field, or does the electric field cause movement of the electron? If a charge is placed into a field, and it has a force imposed upon it, doesn't that mean that the field contained a potential energy before a charge was placed in its'...

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate your willingness to get right into some questions/ideas. I don't mind asking/sharing, but wanted to become familiar with the well laid texts by reputable sources, then bring that back to this forum. I see that there are some wonderful contributions here, and I just...

First post here, thank you in advance. I'm interested to know more about current, or the energy that manifests itself as heat, light, magnetism by way of electrical intervention, primarily with respect to what it really is. I've read through some very fascinating posts about this, and there...
