    B What I don't quite get about entanglement...

    Information is not transfered FTL, but do not the particles assume opposite spins faster than information can travel?

    B What I don't quite get about entanglement...

    I have read how we see 50% difference in measurements when one expects 55.6%, supporting that there are no hidden variables. I still feel that there is still something wrong with the measurements rather than accepting faster-than-light transfer of information. We just don't know where there...

    B What I don't quite get about entanglement...

    I have watched videos on Bell's Theorem and quantum entanglement. What I don't quite get is: if a pair of particles are created and separated and then we measure one we already know the other particle has the opposite orientation. How do we know for sure that the first particle we measure does...

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    Did a lot of twisting and used a common mode choke. I was able to get the measured voltage down from 3.4v to 0.5v. This gives a current of about 38,000A which is still more than the 200A I should have measured. It seems that even the slightest stray inductance throws off this method of measuring...

    I Speed of the umbra during eclipse vs rate of the Earth's rotation

    Thank you. I should have done the calculation first.

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    I thought this is what you meant. Why the single turn from the lead on the left? Why not have both test leads meet midway in the section under test and start twisting there?

    Any chance you could sketch this?

    I Speed of the umbra during eclipse vs rate of the Earth's rotation

    The earth rotates faster than the moon orbits. Thus, the moon appears to move from East to West each day. The shadow of the moon during an eclipse as it moves along the curved earth makes it move faster and we see it move West to East. My question is If a solar eclipse happens near noon and...

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    What do you mean by "doing a single turn"? Are you saying to twist the test leads and then wrap the pair around the toroid? The single-turn with one of the leads is throwing me off.

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    I've twisted the differential probe wires. I'll try to put more twist on them.

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    I tried to do what you said and you are correct. When I create a smaller measurement loop the measured voltage goes down. It seems like it would be very difficult at these frequencies to just measure the conductor's resistance without the added inductive impedance.

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    This correlates with what I measured. What formula is this?

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    I was using a differential probe. The tank is floating and not grounded.

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    No. The capacitor and work coil voltages cancel. The actual voltage across the coupling transformer is much lower. The current, thought, is very high. I'm doing it just to understand how these things work...and to heat metal.

    Calculate current through tank circuit on induction heater

    I don't want the resistance of the tank. I want the resistance of the 1 inch segment and current through it. My question is about the discrepancy between my measurements. Am I making the TEST voltage measurement incorrectly?
