Effects of Positive Electric Field on Motion of Electrons

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the effects of a positive electric field from atomic nuclei on the motion of negative electrons. It highlights that electric current results from electron movement through conductors, while resistance arises from collisions with atomic nuclei, causing material heating. The question posed concerns the likelihood of electrons falling into the nucleus and the potential consequences of such a union. A response emphasizes that the Bohr model is overly simplistic, explaining that electrons do not lose kinetic energy to radiation and fall into the nucleus for several reasons. Understanding these concepts requires patience and deeper exploration of atomic structure.

we know that electric current result of motion of electrons through aconductor
and resistance result of electron's collisions with matter's nuclei resulting in heating material
my question is what is the effect of positive electric field of nuclei at the motion of negative electrons ?
isn't there any Probability that the electron fall at nuclei and what may be the result of nuclei electron union ?

thank you

Welcome to the PF.

You will soon learn that the simplistic Bohr model of the atom is incomplete. There are multiple reasons why the "cloud" of electrons around a nucleus do not lose their KE to radiation and fall into the nucleus. Patience, grasshopper.

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...
