Pete Thanks for clearly pointing that out to Sam.
You're most welcome sir. :)
I could think out
exactly what you posted so very well. Sam can't use his brain for
thinking things out,and he miss read Google.
Now now. I like Sam. We're friends. He may get some things wrong but that
doesn't mean that he's an idiot. He seems pretty sharp to me at times. I've
never heard him say anything dumb. In this case he seems to not have
understood how a capacitor works. That's ignorance (as in lack of knowledge)
and not stupidity. Right Sam? :)
Reality is Pete
if I went to the library it would not have a book saying that electrons
can be stored.
That's not quite true either. For example: Once you charge an object there
will be an accumulation of charge on that object such that a net amount of
charge has been transfered to an object. Much like charging a metalic
sphere. It will remain charged until the charge bleeds off. Since air will
provide a medium for the charge bleed off then its difficult to use such a
sphere in air to store charge. You'd be better off in a vacuum. I'm sure
there are plenty of other ways to charge things. E.g. like rubbing a comb
through your hair. For a little while the comb will store the charge.
Best short definition for electricity is "Its the flow of
electrons' This is elementary Bert
The Encyclopedia Britannica defines "electricity" as follows
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
electricity - phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electric
charges. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter and is borne by
elementary particles. In electricity the particle involved is the electron,
which carries a charge designated, by convention, as negative. Thus, the
various manifestations of electricity are the result of the accumulation or
motion of numbers of electrons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That sounds good to me. :)
Best regards
Pete
