Does Adding of Change the Meaning in Current of Electricity?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the semantics of the titles "Current Electricity" and "Current of Electricity." Participants conclude that both titles refer to the same concepts, including current, electron flow, electromotive force (emf), potential difference (pd), and resistance. The inclusion of "of" does not change the meaning significantly. Overall, the titles are interchangeable in the context of the subject matter. The conversation emphasizes that the difference is primarily linguistic rather than substantive.

This is probably a problem with semantics.

The textbook that I'm using has the title "Current Electricity". The corresponding syllabus has the title as "Current of Electricity". Is there a difference between the two titles? Would "of" in the middle make a difference or used in another context?
(Both cover current and electron flow, emf, pd and resistance.)

Thanks in advance!

They are the same thing.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
