AI Thread Summary
Pouillet's Law is closely related to Ohm's Law and is often referenced in discussions about electrical circuits. It involves the summation of voltage in a circuit, which is more accurately described by Kirchhoff's Voltage Law. Some confusion exists regarding the attribution of Ohm's Law to Pouillet, as it is primarily associated with Georg Simon Ohm. Pouillet contributed to the foundational concepts that led to the development of these laws. Understanding these connections is crucial for grasping basic electrical principles.

i tried to find Pouillet's law in google and many websites, but we are dealing here is Pouillet's law which , is very realted to ohm's law .
In other words i just need a small introduction about Pouillet's law please and thank you

Hi queenstudy! :smile:

Which law do you mean?

TBH, I was not aware of any law named Pouillet's law, so I googled it myself.
I found few references, one in which Ohm's law was mistakenly attributed to Pouillet.
And another, that says Q=It (charge = current times time).

i found it in french since the scinetist is french but I am talking about the summation of voltage in a circuit thanks anyway serena
 
Summation of voltage in a circuit would be Kirchhoff's Voltage Law.
 
pouillet is the one who made the introduction to ohms and kirchhoff's laws
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
