in the free electron model, valence electrons in the metal conductor flows like a fluid that carry the negative charge. in a battery, it is ions and not necessarily electrons that carry the net charge. a voltage potential (electromotive force) as the source is just a dipole. if the circuit is...
the atoms in negative capacitor plates does not have a surplus of electrons and the atoms in the positive plates have a deficiency of electrons is questionable. although this may be the normal thinking if one believes that electrons are forced to flow from one end of the wire to the other...
of course. in an electric current, it is the charge that flows and the thinking is that since the electron is a charge carrier particle, it is the one that flows and carry the charge with it.
when scientist as charge, how do you understand it?
is coulomb a unit of force?
it's short circuited.
my take is that a closed loop of relatively highly aligned electrons will resonate with one another because the energy inputed in the circuit has no where to go but to itself. . vibrating feverishly so as to generate heat and light ( energy exchange). burning and melting...
electrons move up and down their orbital energy states (scalar motion). not thru the conductor. what moves thru the conductor is the energy.
if you imagine electrons in a magnet as tiny gyroscopes that are all spinning in the same direction, then wrap a copper wire around it, a potential is...
fredrick and folks,
i don't like to appear like i am pitching for milo but his biography is in the internet, judge for yourselves if his "not so mainstream science idea of all wave model of matter" is not worthy of physics forum.
perhaps my reply to ytuab clarify some of the confusion.
what do you mean by real? you probably meant non-classical spin.
sorry if my post mislead you. let me try again.
space is what rotates in a spherical way. spin is the result of phase shift ( from up spin to down spin, vv) due to the meeting of the so called advanced and retarded emf waves...
according to milo wolff. in an all wave model, electron spin is as a spherical rotation...
