A physics / electrical / philosophical question.....
http://petersphotos.com/temp/pool.jpg
That is my crude drawing of a swimming pool. There are four wires hanging in the pool. L1 and N1 are live and neutral from an isolating transformer. L2 and N2 are live and neutral from another isolating transformer. Both are identical transformers. If you turn ONE of them on, then the current obviously flows diagonally across the pool. But what if you turned both on? Do they care whose electrons they get back? Can't electricity flow across the two short ends of the pool to lower the resistance? If not why not? -- http://petersparrots.com http://petersphotos.com Times are tough. Just the other day, I saw a beggar who was so broke that he was standing on the corner shouting at the cars that went by. He was shouting, "WILL WORK FOR CARDBOARD AND A MAGIC MARKER!" |
