So those ion streams generated when a candle is between charged plates are primarily caused by the voltage difference? But the heat makes the ionization process easyer, doesn`t it? (lower voltage is required)

Exactly Thanks for answering my first question. Andy, you have claimed in your first post that According to my knowledge, plasma is ionized gas and candle flame is plasma... also if you put a candle between two charged plates, the flame divides into two ion streams. So if flame does not...

Hi all, I have been wondering how much energy does a candle produce per second. I know, that the heat energy can be measured, but what about the ionization energy? By ionization energy I mean the energy which is consumed when neutral atoms in the air are ionized. How can the amount of ions...

Thanks for answers. Seems that those classes on QM are inevitable...

Oh yes, I tought that QM explains that... but I am not so familiar with it, so I still do not understand why exactly electron doesn`t lose its energy by radiation - why doesn`t it radiate, even though "classically" it should ?

To be more clear, by particle I meant electron in atom. Elctrons in atom are moving chaoticly and chaoticly moving charged particle creates EM waves. I agree, but if this acceleration/deceleration happens in a closed system of an atom - core and electrons, there is no loss of energy of an...

Hi Alexa I recommend you to read forum rules before posting because your thread seems like a homework and homeworks are discussed in other forum. By the way welcome to PF

Hi I was wondering whether atom loses its energy. From what I know, a moving charged particle, let`s say electron, has magnetic field and if the particle changes direction, the field changes as well. Change in electro-magnetic field is a wave, EM waves are propagating in photons and a photon...

Thanks for answers

I must admitt I do not understand this very well. Are you saying that it is not possible to translate rotational movement to unidirectional and vice versa? Because for example if two balls rotating clockwise crash, their rotation can cause them to move even quicker than before the crash. In an...

Well, but there are colisions, where the rotating object almost stops rotating thanks to colision wih another. So how is rotational movement translated to unidirectional in such a case?

Hi I am a bit puzzled by a specific type of collisions and distribution of momentum. Well, I know that the change in momentum of two coliding objects is equal and opposite. But I am not certain how is it in a case of collision of a directly moving object and a rotating one. Is the sum of a...

Well you are right, the time inside massive ship runs slower than around it but that doesn`t mean it is the same scenario. If you would observe those two ships from Earth - one super massive and the other with accelerated time (relatively to the observer) around it - the super massive ship would...

Let`s say, that you have a ship so massive that you experience only one second, while the outside observer one minute. Than if your ship travels at almost 300 000 km per (your) second the outside observer sees your ship moving 60 times slower that (his) speed of light. Well that would not be...

Thanks for your answers I asked this because I got an idea, when reading a book about general relativity. The Idea was to accelerate time around a moving ship and maintain the time flow inside, which would result in a movement faster than a light in an outside observer`s frame of reference (if...
