jc: ""
I can't understand why we should not apply quantum mechanical principles to better understand current flow. We actually might modify some engineering assumptions, that may break down on further scrutiny. That was my original point of this exercise. You never know, folks! ;-)""It is indeed possible that better folks than either you or I will do so in the future.
But as of this moment, we're stuck with ohms law, John....
New and strange devices lie ahead, they will use that quantum stuff..heck, some already do so. The more of this stuff I see where I work, the weirder it gets.
But wire conduction with metals..what we have as a model woiks, taint broken, don't fix it..
Hey John? How is it that you and I are having a nice dialogue here, while all around us is all sorts of name calling, accusations, and general vile behaviour??
Is this some sort of alternate universe?
Hope all is well with you.
Cheers, John
