I'm surprised electronics work on the earth. Such fragile things it's amazing how little it takes to destroy a device. And how much energy can be put through the same fragile device. And how much energy is in one Coulomb. The example I like is two points each with one Coulomb repel with a force of one millions tons. A recent artie I read spoke about the reaction wheels of old spacecraft failing. Solar flares caused a…
> And how much energy is in one Coulomb. The example I like is two points each with one Coulomb repel with a force of one millions tons. To have any meaning, you also need to consider the distance between the points. Any two charged points can repel each other with a force of one million tons given a particular distance.
