Ever Wondered?

[Marvo]

Ever wondered about;

• What voltage actually is
• What is the definition of an Amp
• Why is wire stranded or solid
• How many different tyes of fuses there are
• The Mpemba effect: why hot water can sometimes freeze faster than cold

Okay all pretty basic but what about;

• Gauss's law for magnetism
• How to perform mesh analysis
• Representing the directional energy flux density using Pointing vectors
• Complex Fourier series
• interstellar carbon nanoparticles
• How to detect cyber intrusion in SCADA systems

Have a look at this lot for some bedtime reading, all the answers are there.

I actually thought about stranded vs solid core the other day...
I think its to do with keeping the cable flexible. I think that's the main reason.

And isn't voltage atoms transferring one electron from a positively charge to negitively charged atom?

You have definitely got to get out more

A hint!... if you measure a voltage between two points there doesn't have to be a complete circuit or a current flowing as such... if you can think of another term for voltage, the term itself goes some way to explaining the question.
