Sex Life of an Electron

The Sex Life of an Electron

One night when his battery was over-charged, Micro Farad decided to seek out 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 rectifier bridge, around the sine wave and stopped in the magnetic field of a flowing current.

Micro Farad, attracted my Millie Amp's characteristic curves, soon had her freely discharged and excited her resistance to a minimum. He laid her on the ground potential, raised her frequency and lowered her resistance. He pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket, connecting them in parallel and began short circuiting her resistance shunt. Fully excited, Millie Amp mumbled, "Ohm, Ohm, Ohm!!!" With his tube operating at a maximum and her field vibrating with his current flow, it caused her shunt to over-heat and Micro Farad was rapidly discharged and drained of every electron. They fluxed all night trying various connections and sockets until his bar magnet had a soft core and lost all of its field strength.

Afterwards, Millie Amp tried self-induction and damaged her solenoids. With his battery fully discharged, Micro Farad was unable to excite his field, so they spent the rest of the night reversing polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
