Re: Coincidence & Touch

Horace wrote: Empiricaly when two photons or atoms come in contact (become coincident in space) they interact, interfering with each other or simply bumping into each other. This is how the sense of touch works. Most likely it happens through superposition of the two motions (at least I cannot envi...

Re: Capacitors

bperet wrote: What if the same thing is going on here... rather than electrons being "stored" in a capacitor, what is going on is that the atomic structure of the dielectric is just being reconfigured by the potential difference? That's also the conventional explanation. The reconfigured ...

Electrical Impedance--Resistance is Futile

Ok, just throwing some ideas out... Considering a tank circuit, pendulum, photon, or any other simple harmonic motion; on the Complex Plane, label the REAL axis "Kinetic", and label the imaginary axis "Potential". On the Kinetic axis we can ascribe the following attributes: energ...

Mass as Magnetic Inductance

Gopi wrote: This is the reason electricity and mechanics have very similar equations... I suspect Maxwell derived his original set of equations (which curiously required quaternions for accurate treatment) from the physical analogy of continuous media. This may fill in the 'gap' in the current form...

Electrical Impedance--Resistance is Futile

Considering the dimensions of capacitance got me thinking about resistance. Since we can increase it by lengthening, and decrease it by increasing cross-section, that means we can can set aside the geometric factor 1/s, and focus on the remaining dimensions inherent in the material, t 2 /s 2 , or re...

I checked the last number he gave (velocity) and it is c(alpha/2).
