Circuits and the Speed of Light (2)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the accuracy of a specific page from All About Circuits regarding the speed of electricity and its relation to electron coupling. Participants express skepticism about the reliability of the referenced material, indicating that it contradicts established principles discussed in previous threads. The consensus suggests that the page contains misleading information, prompting users to reconsider its validity in the context of wave guides and transmission speed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wave guides in electrical engineering
  • Knowledge of electron coupling and its impact on signal transmission
  • Familiarity with the principles of electricity and electromagnetic theory
  • Experience with online discussion protocols and forum etiquette
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of wave propagation in wave guides
  • Study the role of electron coupling in electrical transmission
  • Explore the physics of electricity and its speed in various media
  • Review forum guidelines for initiating discussions on controversial topics
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, physics students, and anyone interested in the principles of electricity and the accuracy of online educational resources.

Sorry, my other post must have been too brief.

In another thread shut down by Dale, this very site (allaboutcircuits) was used by him to reference wave guides. This particular page is 100% contrary to the side of the fence he was on in that thread.

Just saying. :cool:

Is the quoted web page wrong? i.e. is transmission speed purely down to electron coupling?

This question has been discussed in 101 posts:
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/speed-of-electricity.996609/

I do not see, how a 102nd can provide what 101 could not.
We do not comment other websites.
To restart a closed thread is against the rules.

If you have a very specific question which hasn't been addressed in the thread I linked to, then you can open another thread. This one will be closed.

Thank you for pointing out how bad of a reference this site is. The specific page that I referenced was decent, but indeed a lot of the other content is highly misleading. I will remove the reference from the other thread.
