I have a conducting ring, and I want to keep it aligned along a particular axis.

So if I can only pass a current along ring, it's only du...

John Rennie

@Mostafa In the post you link ACM is telling someone not to say fuck you, which is rather different from using the word fuck. If you're going to have a go at someone please try to keep it factual.

in Physics Meta, May 18 at 11:59, by ACuriousMind

@heather I feel like I've said this often enough, but in case you haven't heard it from me or someone else: The issue is not with the words themselves, but with how they are used. There are (at least) three possible users of profanity: For emphasis at objects: "What is that fucking thing?", for emphasis at people. "What the fuck did you just say?", for insults at people: "Fuck you!". The first is generally fine, the third is completely off-limits, and the second is borderline.

@PrittBalagopal You better explain the whole experiment in your question. Otherwise it looks like the question is asking for a "gun to kill a fly".

John Rennie

14:48

@Abcd Suppose you make some physical measurement e.g. momentum. You'll get some result $p_1$. If you do the measurement again you will in general get a different result $p_2$, and a third time will give you yet another result $p_3$ and so on.

Abcd

yes

John Rennie

This happens because in general quantum objects exist in a superposition of states with different momenta.

Abcd

right.

John Rennie

If you do the experiment many times you can calculate the standard deviation of your measurements, and that is the uncertainty.

For example the way the uncertainty principle is usually written is $$\sigma_x \sigma_p \ge \frac{\hbar}{2} $$ and the $\sigma$ in this equation means the standard deviation.

@PrittBalagopal Doesn't matter. It always helps to describe what you are actually trying to achieve with the "thought experiment". Someone might suggest you a radically good idea to do the same! Also, aligning aromatic molecules are along an axis is not exactly equivalent to aligning a conducting ring.

Abcd

@JohnRennie A brief explanation will work so that I get an idea of it

John Rennie

14:56

@Abcd Suppose you have some charged object, e.g. a Van de Graaff generator, and you put an electron near the charged object.

If the charged object is negative it will repel the electron, and if it's positive it will attract the electron.

Qmechanic

I would appreciate it if someone could explain-to-OP/mediate/step-in/vote-to-reopen/vote-to-close here.

AccidentalFourierTransform

what happens if the electron is twice as electronic as the other electron?

John Rennie

But the charged object isn't actually touching the electron, so the question is how does it exert a force on the electron when it isn't touching it?

Pritt Balagopal

@blue Aromatic rings have delocalized electrons. It basically behaves like a conducting ring.

John Rennie

@Abcd: The way we explain this is that charged objects create an electric field around them.

Anonymous

14:59

@PrittBalagopal It "behaves" like a conducting ring. It isn't a conducting ring. Also you can't hold individual aromatic molecules in a magnetic field. The process to align them will be quite different.

Abcd

@JohnRennie oh

@JohnRennie One question: there are no electric fields around us but why are there electromagnetic waves

John Rennie

@Abcd: If you measure the force $\mathbf F$ the field produces on the electron then we define the field strength as $$\mathbf E = \frac{\mathbf F}{e} $$ where $e$ is the electron charge.

AccidentalFourierTransform

turn me on with your electric feel

Abcd

@JohnRennie ok

Pritt Balagopal

@blue looks like I'm toasted then

no way to align aromatic molecules, no way to create this:

John Rennie

15:02

If we measure position in space by the usual coordinates x, y and z, and time by t then in general this field is a function of both position and time, so we write it as $\mathbf E(t, x, y, z)$.

Pritt Balagopal

Abcd

ok

Pritt Balagopal

But thats another story...

John Rennie

Though we usually combine x, y and z into a position vector $\mathbf r$ and write $\mathbf E(t, \mathbf r)$.

AccidentalFourierTransform

hi there Tim

John Rennie

15:03

@Abcd: OK so far?

Abcd

@JohnRennie Yes

John Rennie

@Abcd OK. In my example I talked about a stationary charged object, and that produces a static field i.e. one that doesn't change in time. But suppose we now waggle the charged object up and down. Now it produces a time dependent field.

The usual analogy is that if you waggle your hand in water it produces waves, and actually this is not a bad analogy.

Abcd

@JohnRennie OK

Anonymous

@PrittBalagopal You want to create a 2D chain of aromatic molecules without any folding?

John Rennie

@Abcd So if I make a charge oscillate in a sinusoidal fashion it will produce a time dependent electric field that behaves like a wave travelling out from the oscillating charge.

And that's all an electromagnetic wave is.

Abcd

15:07

@JohnRennie But there are no charges around me. But still there are EM waves

John Rennie

You need charges to create the wave, but once the wave has been created it will travel outwards from the charge that created it.

Bernardo Meurer

It's so warm in here my body has recalibrated and thinks I am back in Brazil

John Rennie

So the EM waves passing you were created by an oscillating charge and they will eventually lose their energy by transferring it to some other oscillating charge.

Bernardo Meurer

Last night I used diversion techniques walking home to make sure I wasn't being followed

Abcd

@JohnRennie Where are these charges which produce waves in the vacuum?

Bernardo Meurer

15:09

Just to realize I am no longer in rio

John Rennie

@Abcd What waves in the vacuum? You mean light waves coming from distant stars? They were created by electrons in those stars.

Abcd

@JohnRennie Infrared rays? Gamma rays?

John Rennie

Infrared waves are just long wavelength light waves and gamma rays are short wavelength light waves. They were all created by electrical charges.

AccidentalFourierTransform

Abcd

@JohnRennie Ok. What's the frequency of an electromagnetic wave? What does it mean?

John Rennie

15:13

@Abcd Go back to the water waves.

Abcd

@JohnRennie Is it same in the case of both?

John Rennie

If watch some point in the water you can count how many waves pass you in one second. That's the frequency.

It's the same with an EM wave.

Abcd

I know that.

@JohnRennie Why high frequency results in high energy?

John Rennie

Remember I said an electric field creates a force on a charge? Well we can detect an EM wave by watching an electron to see if it moves. An EM wave will make the electron oscillate and if we count how many oscillations we get per second that's the frequency of the EM wave.

Abcd

ok

John Rennie

15:16

@Abcd Suppose I give you a rock to hold and ask you to wave it up and down once a second. That doesn't take much effort does it?

Abcd

@JohnRennie How can I wave a rock :S

John Rennie

@Abcd Hold it in your hand and waggle your hand up and down.

Abcd

@JohnRennie Ok. Doesn't take much effort

John Rennie

Now I tell you to waggle the rock by the same amount, i.e. same distance, but do it ten times a second. Now you're going to have to really work at it.

And if I tell you to waggle it up and down 100 times a second you couldn't do it because it takes more energy than you can put into it.

Abcd

Right.

@JohnR: (Ah, I see u're explaining something. Do go on, I'm just popping in to tell u that:)

As a general rule, if you keep everything else unchanged then increasing frequency takes more energy.

But ...

There is another meaning to high frequency = high energy.

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H I find trying to read your way through a series isn't usually a good idea. You tend to find you get bored with the author and go off them.

Anonymous

@user2476549 No, not really. Pressure can be defined as force acting per unit area.

John Rennie

15:26

@user2476549 No. Voltage has what we call a global gauge symmetry, which means we can only ever measure a voltage difference.

But pressure is the result of momentum exchange and it always has an absolute value that we can (in principle) measure, though in practice we often only measure a pressure difference.

There is a well defined zero for pressure i.e. a vacuum, but there is no well defined zero for voltage.

The film follows a six-member crew of the International Space Station that uncovers what initially seems to be the first evidence of life on Mars; however, the crew finds their discovery might not be what it seems. The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 18, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 24, 2017, by Columbia Pictures. It has grossed $99 million worldwide...

@BernardoMeurer There's a rather big city in the southern Iran called Abadan, where its people literally claim they're Brazilian, and they've been Brazilian in the past; but are separated due to some unfortunate events throughout the history....

They bring Brazilian flag everywhere including in the stadiums when watching football

They've even changed the welcome road sign from "welcome to Abadan" to "welcome to the 2nd Brazil" (in Persian)

@Avantgarde That's exactly why I don't visit public gyms :P In the gym near my house they play bollywood songs. Beat that.

And most people in public gyms seem to have hygiene issues XD

Avantgarde

haha I guess. I don't really like gyms. I play sport to exercise my muscles.

I agree with the hygiene thing

I love classical music, be it in any language. Pop and rap are just not my thing.

Avantgarde

I'm usually into metal. I like classical too. Pop and rap, sometimes. If you search deep enough, you will find good music in almost any genre
