Hi. If a plate capacitor is charged with some charge ##Q##, then there's a voltage ##U=Q/C## between the plates. The electric field between the plates is ##E=U/d##. Voltage is path independent, if I connect the plates with a cable of length ##l\gg d## the voltage across the cable is the same...

Hi all, I was not sure where to post this, so feel free to move the thread if the forum is not the most appropriate. I was reading about safety in fiber optics and the fact that one should not be staring into a fiber optic cable to avoid eye damage. That's pretty obvious, but it also raises a...

I am newbie in the area of clutches. I am making a motorized cable reel (DC motor) which I needed to make it easy for anyone to pull the cable reel out manually without much effort.
