Click For Summary
Gravity influences all objects with mass, including electrical charges and magnetic fields in coils. Both Newtonian and General Relativity theories affirm that gravity impacts everything, regardless of size. The discussion emphasizes that even small-scale phenomena are affected by gravitational forces. This understanding aligns with current scientific principles regarding gravity's universal influence. Therefore, gravity does indeed affect electrical charges and magnetism in coils.

My physics sucks but does gravity affect electical charges inside devices... Does it affect magnetism in coils... I thought it has an affect on anything regardless of how small it is.. right?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In Newtonian theory it affects EVERYTHING which has the property of "mass". In GR theory it affects EVERYTHING, since it apperars in the equations of motion (geodesic equations). So, yes, according to us so far understanding of gravity, gravity affects everything, reagrdless its space scale.
 

Thread 'What determines if wave components are independent vs coherent?'

I'm working through something and want to make sure I understand the physics. In a system with three wave components at 120° phase separation, the total energy calculation depends on how we treat them: If coherent (add amplitudes first, then square): E = (A₁ + A₂ + A₃)² = 0 If independent (square each, then add): E = A₁² + A₂² + A₃² = 3/2 = constant In three-phase electrical systems, we treat the phases as independent — total power is sum of individual powers. In light interference...
