    Airplane and Conveyor Belt Debate

    an airplane isn't a car, the wheels aren't driven. the propeller/jet will pull/push the plane regardless of what the wheels are doing, given they're not locked or something. brewnog got it right, think about it.

    Getting Started with EE Project Ideas for Beginners

    Hey all, quick question here. I'm doing my first year of ee at college right now, and while some of the classes I'm taking (physics etc) are helping me very much to understand some of the topics, I'm getting extremely eager to practice some circuit design (my first circuit design class won't be...

    Magnetic Field and Currents/Moving Charges

    thanks for the reply btw, I really appreciate it. I know it's a fact that currents and magnets create and feel forces from magnetic fields, while stationary electric charges do not. What I don't understand is what it is about a moving charge as opposed to a stationary one that makes this true...

    Magnetic Field and Currents/Moving Charges

    ah okay, so basically I just don't have the right tools at the moment to understand why?

    Magnetic Field and Currents/Moving Charges

    SWEET! I was hoping for something more along the lines of what's happening at the atomic level. My books provides a ton of equations, but no explanation whatsoever as to why they work.

    Magnetic Field and Currents/Moving Charges

    Hello, I have a quick question. Why is it that a magnetic field has an effect on a current or moving charge, but not on a stationary charge?
