🧵 What is electricity?
Anonymous at Thu, 6 Jun 2024 22:08:53 UTC No. 16218149
What is electricity? Also what is an electron, electric field, and magnetic field? And how do these relate to electromagnetic waves.
What does that have to do with the speed of light?
Does the fact that electrons can be both waves and particles impact any of the above at all?
I have a cursory understanding of physics and not satisfied with any explanations I’ve heard so far. Is it all fake and gay? Especially the ‘wave of uncertainty’ bs.
Any book recommendations etc on the above would be very helpful too

>What is electricity?
Moving charged particles.
>Also what is an electron
A negatively charged particle found in atoms.
>electric field
A force field modified by the presence of charged particles.
>magnetic field?
A force field modified by the movement of charged particles.
>And how do these relate to electromagnetic waves.
In a vacuum, Maxwell's equations that describe the electric and magnetic fields simplify to a wave equation.
>What does that have to do with the speed of light?
The speed of the wave predicted by the wave equation happens to be the speed of light.
>Does the fact that electrons can be both waves and particles impact any of the above at all?
No.
>Is it all fake and gay? Especially the ‘wave of uncertainty’ bs.
No. Quantum systems have states taking values in a set of functions that has a vector space structure, follow the Schrodinger (wave-like) equation most of the time and whose absolute value squared gives the probability density of what state may be measured.
>Any book recommendations etc on the above would be very helpful too
Any intro to electrical engineering book would be good enough. If you want the quantum stuff, Frederic Schuller made a series of lectures on YouTube.

Very good. Thank you kindly.

For more information on the fundamentals look into Michael faraday the guy who discusses electromagnetic induction and electrochemistry it will give you a better understanding learning the basics of induction then build up from there electricity can get very complicated really quickly.

It's a property of space where some physical quantity exists associated with every point. Let go of an apple and it will fall; this is because there's an acceleration associated with every point in space pulling things down.

Everything is the dielectric field. Electricity is the hybrid between magnetism and counterscpace.

Classically, EM is due to the EM field. In quantum electrodynamics all EM phenomena is do to the exchange of virtual photons and that the EM field is just the manifestation of these virtual photons.

I know it’s very weird to think of it this way, but you can use chemistry as an example of electricity, and the other way around.
Transfer of charges on particles, loss of charge/gain of charge
Redox In a sense

Nobody can tell you.
Electricity, like gravity are a mystery. Through this thread, all you'll receive are word salad descriptions of its actions, but never an explanation of what it is. Do not be satisfied with tales of bumping partials.

That applies to everything. We can only describe things by how they look and behave, but we can never answer what anything *is*

Forgive the spell checker,
My big brain is waiting for smart people to stop explaining how electricity acts, and tell me what it is.
Can your brain tell the difference?

it's basically fucking magic and it'll stay fucking magic until you pick up a book and try to understand it instead of shitposting
>turn the magnet counterclockwise as it resists the copper coil
>"electrons" bounce up and down on an atom as light reflects off of it
>with the magnet and the coil, the "electrons" are instead sheared off of the atom and flow along the copper
>this produces painful shocks but can also power clever machinery
>>>>>>>>>>BUT WHAT ARE ELECTRONS???
Physicists themselves only describe how the act. What they are is still debated as the essenceof being (as opposed to its observable behavior) dips over into unfalsifiable concepts such close to philosophy. So once more, it is magic, and it will stay that way, especially to you
