| | Not true.

| | It will flow, whether the circuit is complete or not. What happens after

| | You've claimed to have worked in broadcasting in an engineering role. So
| | you should understand what happens at the end of an open transmission line.
| | The electricity flows to get to the open end. Yet it is not a "complete
| | circuit".
| |
| | Hmmm,
| | You seem to be confused between current flow(energy) and
| | voltage(poential) Nothing flows in an open circuit. If not we have to
| | rewrite Ohm's law. Show your credential to make a stamement like that.
| | Shameful.
|
| Your knowledge of electricity shows to be a very basic level. You completely
| lack an understanding of how electricity does flow. You have no concept at all
| of transmission lines (and Michael A. Terrell seems to have forgotten his).
| Credentials have nothing to do with whether a statement is correct or not.
| Mine is correct but you don't have sufficient background to even understand it.
|
| Plonk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye. Nothing missed. Nothing gained.
