Anyone good at math?

[Stefan Mikes]

Amperes are defined as one coulomb of charge per second. A coulomb is about 6.24e+18 electron charges. So the coulombs cancel out and you end up with watts.

Ampere - Wikipedia

Don't you think the Coulomb is a rather arbitrary value with no physical meaning? The number of electrons flowing through a conductor is as arbitrary as saying 1 mile is 5,280 feet Oh, we know the "freedom units" are nowadays defined by SI units

You should also check the old definition of the Ampere:
The old definition of the ampere (used from 1948 until 2019) was the constant current that, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, placed one meter apart in a vacuum, would produce a force equal to 2 × 10⁻⁷ newtons per meter of length between them.
Why 2 × 10⁻⁷ N not any other value?

As I said, the definition of Volt is the electromotive force that generates 1 Watt of heat at 1 Ampere (so the resistor is 1 Ohm). Volt is defined by Watt, not otherwise.

Hey, I didn't make this s*it up.

Yeah, I know.
Non of it makes any sense.

And what the Hell is a (US Customary) cup?

How us it different than a "US Legal"

Is it customary to short change a customer on a pint of

What are the Legal implications of "short shoting" a customer with a customary smaller pint of

Amperes are defined as one coulomb of charge per second. A coulomb is about 6.24e+18 electron charges.

I had that number memorized in electronics class in 1980.

We needed to use it for tests and quizzes.

No.
It's the number of electrons needed to make the Volts, Amps and Ohms equation work, with a 1:1:1 ratio.

I never heard of the old definition until you just mentioned it, but we did study how dangling wires will attract or repell each other depending on current flow.

The whole left-hand, right-hand rule thing.

Volt is defined by Watt, not otherwise.

Voltage is pressure.

That pressure can be measured without any current flow.

Current needs to flow for energy measured in Watts to happen.

Voltage is potential energy.

You do know we has the internets humans now.
I prefer the electricity isnt actually in the wirey bits

I think it's easier to tell if a human is full of crap than the internets?

I'd still rather be programmed/edumacated by a living being that a friggin robot.

Im sorry to hear that Dave, Ive always found our conversation very stimulating
