can you explain why an eastward flowing wind (west to east) in the northern hemisphere would deflect south?

well, this is misleading, one answer considers the role of gravity while other says its just the effect of change in frame of reference. Can you please clear out the situation, and justify for what you say? Thanks in advance

I haven't heard anything that you say here, can you give me a link or something that can give me a detailed description for the same. I want to know this but with bits of information, it is harder to make sense out of it.

If gravity is the source of the centripetal acceleration, what would happen to the parcel moving east or west along the equator. I am assuming that the gravitational force experienced by the parcel is normal to the surface of Earth, and is directed along its center. In such a case there is no...

I am trying to understand the Coriolis effect from some time but i am unable to conceive the idea why the air parcel flowing from west to east on Earth would go southward. what I have understood till now is: " From the perspective of observer in inertial frame of reference, when the air...

how will the energy propogate outside the region, where there is no external magnetic and electric field.

what i mean to say is if i provide electric and magnetic fields externally in a region, will the poynting theorm still be applicabale ? can i say that the energy moves in a direction perpendicular to both the fields ? if yes, then what do we see in the cycloidal motion of a test charge in these...

so this means that if i apply electric field and magnetic field in a region of space the direction in which the energy flow is given by pointing vector. suppose i have one such region in space, the area of the region is A, the energy flows as per the pointing vector. if the energy is not...

If i apply this, assume that the axis along the wire is in the plane of paper, then the Electric field is along this axis, the magnetic field perpendicular to it, running into and out of the paper, therefore the pointing vector points normal to the surface of wire. so the energy flows...

i know the energy available to the bulb is not derived from the kinetic energy of electrons moving in the wire as their speed under a D.C voltage is of the order of few cm/hour.Therefore this option is ruled out. in short, the i can reduce my problem to a question How does electromagnetic...

To mention, i am trying to understand the flow of electromagnetic energy from the roots and only have some basic knowledge. In case i need to refer to some material to get to the answer, kindly provide me the link for the same In which direction does the energy flow in a region (preferably...

i know i had i a misconception regarding the flow of current, which is highlighted in my question. i want to know how electromagnetic wave is propogating and is used by the load, consider that the energy available to the load is not in from the kinetic energy of electrons?

but in case you have a charged battery and you connect it to a bulb through insulators, will the bulb glow? if yes, then why, if no, then why not?

the answer to the question below will make my understanding better " If i have a wire consisting of only neutrons, connected across the bulb, will the bulb light up when i apply a battery across it?"

i have an ADSL at my home, the wire runs through my telephone line, and what you say suggest that my line carries electromagnetic waves, not particle electron. i know flowing electrons are also electromagnetic radiations, but i just want to confirm if the pulses we are talking of here is...
