Ok... So who wants to be my friend? Don't all rush in at once... I realize that my perception of your online persona means everything to all of you, but I demand that we do this in an orderly fashion so that the multitudes of you can be recognized.

Thank you.

So, all it does is add you to my inbox list... helpful, I suppose.

I will, but one condition: as a hard sciences man, can you confirm or deny for me that the following statement from my physics OCR GCSE textbook is a load of bollocks: "Ways to increase voltage and current in a generator:
Stronger magnet
Rotate magnet faster
etc...so far so good, but it also lists:
Increase number of coils in the wire

That's only gonna do anything for the voltage, right?

I wouldn't ask, but I don't have a physics teacher any more, because he buggered off last term leaving some french teacher from Ireland to cover. Who doesn't know any physics.

With friends like me, who needs enemies?

neoteny. i have wondered long and hard about the meaning of life.

i have tried science, religion, philosophy, and even trying to get away from the pc for a bit.

but it was not until now that i have realised my true calling, the reason i was put on this earth.

neoteny, it is my destiny to be put on your friends list.

Is there some ignore list I can put you on? ;)

Of course. But then your view of the forum becomes 20% less awesome.

And I'm still taking physics, and not understanding it. So good luck with that, Nappy. If I had to guess, coils increase the resistance, so if my equation of V=IR is correct, then increasing R increases V. Additionally, I=V/R. If you assume that voltage is constant, then increasing R decreases I. But, since R has an effect on V, I wouldn't say that is the case, and increasing R increases both I and V. That's the best I've got. Take all this with a grain of salt, however. :wink:

Meh, good enough. Personally I've just written a note that surely conservation of energy means that if you can increase the number of coils to improve the joules/coulomb, surely coulombs pushed past/second decreases as the resistance rises...

OR: maybe since current is caused by magnetic field lines cutting a wire, you get lower voltage but higher current?

Either way, P=VI means that it can;'t increase voltage and current. And bloody OCR claims it does. Oh well. This is the same textbook which claims that "there are more synapses in your brain than atoms in the universe". And its the only thang between me and my GCSE in coupla months...*gulp*.

I dunno...it's all too confusing. Ah well..you know what they say: "If it moves its biology, if it smells its chemistry, if it refuses to work its physics"
