THE SEX LIFE OF THE ELECTRON

|
||
One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided
|
||
to seek 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 Wheatstone Bridge, around the sine waves and
|
||
stopped in the magnetic field by a flowing current.
|
||
|
||
Micro-Farad, attracted by Millie-Amps characteristic curves, soon
|
||
had her fully charged and excited her resistance to a minimum. He laid
|
||
her on the ground potential, raised her frequency and lowered her
|
||
reluctance.
|
||
|
||
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 - OHM".
|
||
|
||
With his tube operating at a maximum and her field vibrating with
|
||
his current flow, he caused her shunt to overheat and Micro-Farad was
|
||
rapidly discharged and drained of every electron.
|
||
|
||
They fluxed all night, trying various connections and sockets,
|
||
until his magnet had a soft core and lost all of it's 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.
