    Charge Velocity
AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses whether the charge of a moving particle increases with velocity. It concludes that there is no evidence supporting a velocity-dependent increase in charge, as charge is invariant regardless of speed. Experiments, such as Millikan's oil drop experiment, have established the constant charge of particles like electrons. Steering moving charged particles typically involves applying electrical or magnetic fields without altering their charge. Overall, the consensus is that particle charge remains unchanged by velocity.

No.

Yes. By far the most common way of steering moving charged particles is to apply an electrical or magnetic field - think of an oscilloscope or an old television set - and there is no evidence of velocity-dependent charge increase.
 
Charge is invariant. It does not change withg velocity
 

Thread 'Reflections at the source point of a transmission line'

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
