Good, so the capacitance between the wires in this case would be very small right? And the E-fied would exist between the plate capacitor (mainly). So an electron in betwen ground and the exposed wire does not really feel much force.
Does this sound reasonable?
Thats what I thought, but I'm not clear as to the charge distribution on the wires.
The electric field (induced by the potential of the battery), exists in the dielectric between the capacitor (plate capacitor). The electrons arrange themselves on either plate to set up this field. Where do...
Hi guys,
This has bugged me for a while, if we have a battery (+ve) connected to one side of capacitor, and negative connected to ground. We are left with a wire coming from the other side of the capacitor. Is there a potential, and hence an electric field, between the wire and ground...
If you are on the second floor are you level with the power lines?
I've seen power lines arching before, but it is very distinct, lightning sparks etc. Maybe there was a line arching very close to your window and the light from the plasma scattered off the snow, giving a glowing effect with...
Thanks for the help, are you doing the \bibitems by hand?
In the mean time I have a temporary fix, I use a package (rextex4) that gives me similar bibliographic style (exactly the same, the latex example tex file, its called something like assamp.tex) as APL. Then all I do is make the...
Why, not at all!
Do JAP supply a template for the paper, or bibliography?
I'm curious to know how you're going to put together the bibliography, I have not used the \begin{thebibliography} method before. I'm going to guess the styles are pretty similar for both journals (AIP), so if you...
Thanks for the help f95toli, the general consensus from online posts is that it's an awkward submission process.
I am using the PRL .bst file to get a feel for the length, however, they do say they require the referencing to be done in the correct format. However, they don't want your .bbl...
Hi all,
Had a GOOD look around for a .sty or .bst files for submission of a LateX article to Applied Physics Letters. There have been a few posts elsewhere with no joy, but they are dated now.
Has anyone got a resonable match for this journal?
Or can anyone giude me as to how to go...
I don't think the argument should be;
"what would aliens be doing in our back yard!?"
The fact is that there is a phenomena occurring on earth, and has been for some time, regarding UFO's.
Be that phenomena purely psychosymatic, really aliens or uncle sam I don't know and hence will...
I mean if the creaks showed a definate pattern over a longe time span it would be interesting.
It still sounds to me like it could be the heating, if the heating comes on hot water travels through the pipes, heating them and their surroundings as it goes, the pipes are under floors and in...
yes, maybe it coincides with the heating coming on or another thermal effect. Can't explain the sequence though. If it happened over a long range I would be more curious.
Please ellaborate on the other house tales.
Ok, now I have some serious problems with the physics.
You claim this 'ball' of hot gas is contained by some sort of 'geometrical' phenomena, please elaborate. Any gas in the atmosphere will mix with any other gas to obtain a uniform concentration. That's why farts don't stick around forever...
Hmmm, I'm having trouble with that.
Would airline pilots possibly have seen exhaust gasses before?
If so, would several of them have reported this incident as something out of the ordinary?
They're interesting vids, darting around, disappearing and re-appearing...a classic UFO.
I agree about the Dr.'s comments, I especially like the one They would just take over again anticipating the actions of visiting ETs, with a definate underlying hollywood influence.
I would have to say there is intelligent life out there. I'm on the fence on whether they've paid a visit or not, but I would tipping slightly to the 'they have' side of the fence.
