Current Definition and 1000 Threads

Hi guys, is the current flow in this picture correct? I'm trying to understand current flow in a two source circuit.

Hi there, I have very big doubts about this. I keep hearing that it's not the volts that kill you but rather the amps. 60 mA are supposedly enough to kill a person. Let's consider a person with 100.000 Ω resistance. If V = R⋅I, then V = 0.06 A ⋅ 100.000 Ω = 6000 V, and that would be the...

Homework Statement I have a doubt about the current linkage, Θf, in figure 2.2b of a salient pole motor. In this textbook, the current linkage is expressed by ∫H⋅dl = Θf = ∑i. However, in the figure 2.2b between q(left) and q(right), how can the Θf be constant? Since, the author doesn't show...

Electric current can be studied using classical electromagnetism. In that case, the explanation is that there is a net flow of free electrons through a wire, say. Looking more close on the situation, what happens is that there is a difference on the energy level of some atoms and electrons can...

Just to clarify, this is not a homework or coursework question. I was wondering, if you have a large container of salt water and place two electrodes on either side, the current will pass from one electrode to the other through the salt water medium. Is the a way to calulate or 3D model the...

So I learned that voltage/emf is proportional to the negative change in flux so the graph of the voltage is the negative derivative of the flux graph. What is the relation between flux and current. In a motor, a change in flux induces a current that creates an opposing magnetic field, and...
