Currents and the "quantum" effective action Hi all, I've been reading Burgess' Primer on effective field theory: arXiv:hep-th/0701053v2. I can't follow the reasoning here: I could maybe begin to make sense of this if I were allowed to assume that −(δ\Gamma/δϕ) is the sum of 1PI irreducible...

Hi everyone, I'm writing a novel in which a character "electrifies" water. He sends electric currents through the water to fend off a monster. So obviously the current must be high in volts and amps. My question is, what would be the easiest way to do this? So far, the best thing I can come...

what's special about a 0.1 to 0.2 volts current? thanks

I didn't know where to post this, but I figured since it has the word "relativity" in my question I would stick it here. V = IR. In a super conductor R = 0 and I = V/R = V/0 which is infinity. This implies an infinite number of charges per second flowing, and hence that the charges are...

I've noticed in demonstrations that when you've got a magnetic field going through an iron core, say coming out of the page at you, that the eddy currents circulating perpendicular to them will flow clock-wise. But if you had a wire loop and put a current through it clockwise that it would...
