The Sex Life of an Electron
One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro Farad decided to get a cute
little coil to let him discharge. He picked up Millie Amp and took her for a
ride on his megacycle. They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge, around the
sine wave, and into a magnetic field next to a flowing current.
Micro Farad, attracted by Millie Amp's characteristic curve, soon had her
field fully excited and he couldn't resistor. He laid her on the ground
potential, raised her frequency, lowered her resistance, and pulled out his
high voltage probe. He inserted it in parallel and began to short circuit
her shunt.
Fully excited, Millie Amp cried, "Mho, Mho. Give me Mho!"
"Ohmigod, this is good," shouted Micro. With his tube at maximum output and
her coil vibrating from current flow, her shunt soon reached maximum heat.
The excess heat had gotten her shunt pretty hot and Micro's capacitance was
rapidly discharging, ... draining off every electron. They fluxed all night,
trying various connections and sockets until Micro's bar magnet had lost all
of it's field strength.
Afterward, Millie tried self-inductance and damaged her solenoid. But it
didn't phasor. With his battery fully discharged, Micro Farad was unable to
excite his transformer. So they ended up by reversing polarity, and blowing
each other's fuses.
