AI Thread Summary
Electrostatic charge can coexist with current in a coated wire, where current flows through the wire while electrostatic charge accumulates on the insulation. The possibility of controlling the electrostatic charge based on the current in the wire raises questions about intelligent behavior in this context. Solitons, which are stable wave packets, may have applications in electrical systems, but their relationship to electrostatics and current flow needs further exploration. The discussion highlights a need for clarity on how solitons interact with electrical phenomena. Understanding these concepts could lead to innovative applications in electrostatics and current management.

I'm having difficulty establishing whether it's possible to have an electrostatic charge that flows. Can current exist AND electrostatic charge exist in the same place?
Given a length of coated wire, could current flow through the wire and electrostatic charge exist on the insulation?

Could this electrostatic charge on the insulation, of possible, be in any way governed by the current in the wire such that it behaves intelligently and controllably?

Where does a soliton form with respect to electrical applications and how?
Thanks :)

Sure, there can be a net static charge on the outside of the insulation of a wire. Not sure what you are asking about in terms of controlling its motion, though.

How is this related to your question above? What do you know about solitons so far?
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
