hello.
i have a problem with current (I)
i know superficially what it is (electron movement through a cable)
but what does it actually measure?
is it the speed of electrons (aren't they moving at the speed of light?)
or is it the amount of electrons moving past the measuring point?
and voltage, is that the potential amount of electrons that can be put in motion?
i think of voltage as a pump,
and the electrons of current as pearls on a thread, that push eachother around.
it makes more sense to me to think of voltage as the movement speed, or electron acceleration,
and current as the amount of electrons moving at that speed.
and please dont tell me that i really don't need to know this. i do or i'll go crazy. and try and keep it as close to physical reality as possible,
describing actual electron movement, instead of comparing it to water, pumps and such.
i don't care if the analogies are decent, i don't want them.
if you don't know the answer, don't post in this thread.
