curiousmind asked:

If I don’t use the electricity provided to my house, then it goes to the next house or wherever it is needed???
If unused, the electrons stop at the wall socket and then go back out of the house?
The water pipe analogy was brilliant. Thanks :)

What is the magnitude of the electric field?

RhondaJo asked:

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged parallel plates 1.70cm apart. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate in a time interval 1.57×10−6s .Use 1.60×10−19C for the magnitude of the charge on an electron and 1.67×10−27 KG for the mass of a proton.

How much physics does an electrician know?

Df S asked:

Since they deal with electricity, I think they would at least know the basics like Ohm’s laws, because they work with circuits? Are they taught things like electromagnetism and the fundamentals of electricity? Or do they just know how to wire things together and have no idea what they are actually dealing with?
Just to stress, I’m talking about ELECTRICIANS, not ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS, who are a completely different breed(and class).
