    Questions on Electricity Generation

    Hello all, This is my first post here, and I've got something that is stumping me. no this is not for homework, My question is this, When electricity is generated, where do the electrons come from? I mean if they we're coming from the copper wires, or magnets inside the dynamo wouldn't we see...

    Is the generation of one electron at a time probabilistic or deterministic ?

    In the double slit experiment sometimes it is claimed that one electron at a time could be fired. Can we deterministically generate one electron when we want ? is it like a gun where you pull the trigger and exactly one electron will be detected or is it that we energize some source and "wait...

    Generation of a magnetic field by rotating a charged ring

    Let's assume the case for metallic ring that possesses a net negative charge within. To generate a magnetic field, the field generated by negative charges should not be canceled out by the positive charge. There are two ways to do this: 1) Move only the electrons. 2) Move the electrons with the...

    Photon Generation: Need for Electrical Current?

    is the only way to generate a photon by knocking an electron into a higher energy level and when it jumps back to its original energy level it releases the photon because of its excess energy. and wouldn't that mean that an electrical current is always needed so that the electron can initially...

    Generation of isomorphic fields by separate algebraic elements

    EM Waves: How Do They Get Generated?

    I read that em waves get generated by oscillating and/or accelerating charges. I am confused on how this occurs. Doesn't this violate energy conservation? Say 2 charges( a +& a -) are separated by a certain distance. So they have potential energy. Then you let them go. The potential energy is...
