Fiv (EMF?)


Capiert

Recommended Posts

The electromagnetic force of a D'Arsenval (spring_loaded) meter

 Fiv=P^0.5

 is proportional to the rooted electrical_power

 Piv=I*V

 (small postscripts used)

 for current I

 voltage V,

 resistance R.

 

Isn't that in conflict to James Watt's definition of mechanical_power (caution: small postscript m used)

 Pm=F*va

 (not to be confused, with the m)

 for (Newton's) force F=m*a

 mass m

 acceleration a,

 average_speed (velocity) va=(vi+vf)/2

 initial_speed (velocity) vi

 final_speed (velocity) vf.

 

(I mean:)

Both forces

 Fiv=F

 produce mechanical displacement

 that can be equated.

(Sorry for the sloppy syntax, but yours confuses me too.)

Re_done that would be:

Once the needle has swung into place, all the power delivered to the meter is dissipated as heat so, if you only look at mechanical energy, it doesn't seem to be conserved.

Isn't it (=the meter) dissipating heat whether it (=the needle) swings or not, while electricity flows?

I.e. It (=the needle's deflection) "costs" (continuous) power (=E/t, energy E, per time t),

 not just a once_only energy to keep that needle in place (beyond zero).

Isn't there something wrong with James Watt's (mechanical power) definition?

E.g. It's not universal. It does NOT include the static (equilibrium) case.

You have written these as an equality, but say it's a proportionality. (The units are wrong for it being an equality)

Why should mechanical power and electromagnetic power have the same equation? (plus, one is a proportionality)

Atomic repulsion (power?) is what keeps the atoms away from each other.

But you'( a)re right,

Those costs (seem to) fall away).

 Are you sure you are talking about a D'Arsenval meter here? I was not aware he had superconductors in his time.

entirely from superconductors so the needle would stay in place without the supply of any power.

Please show me 1, (that) you mean.

But I'd hate to pay for that power bill (for making those superconductors (& that they) work =stay cold & magnetized).

Something is very wrong (with the definitions)!

On ‎2018‎ ‎07‎ ‎14 at 8:06 PM, swansont said:

Simply because we are dealing with displacive force.

That is the link, the basis, for equating.

That can be translated into pressure (multiplied by area).

Let me ask it so:

 wouldn't it be better (=an advantage, as less bother, simplification)

 if electromechanical power had the same (=only 1) equation?

On ‎2018‎ ‎07‎ ‎14 at 8:06 PM, swansont said:

Stating 1 as a proportionality

 was the only way I could state the problem

 (without getting into too much difficulty, & conflicts).

Let's try again:

(James) Watt defined ((horse_)power):

P=F*va

with the (average) speed va,
horses could pull weights Wt=m*g=F.
(I'm sorry you missed your history lesson (if you did?);
 or was I too brief (& that's why you did not understand (me))?).

I'll assume the later.

I suspect a specific quotient (instead) might have fit Newtonian (physics) structure better (tendencial).

Yes, mechanical versus electrical definitions clash.

It would be easier (avoiding conflicts)
 to maintain the electrical units Ampere*Voltage as maybe A*V;
 instead of (re)naming them Watts W,

 (unlike) as the committee did.

The unit Watt has unfortunately been double defined
(e.g. electrically & mechanically),
 & that is more than double trouble!

Theoretically, the 1st definition receives priority (in honour=respect)
 to be maintained,
 while the 2nd (named usage) must (=should) be stopped.

Nonsense.

" It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy." (https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-is-dark-energy)

Add the +27% dark matter (related to energy by E=m*(c^2))
 & that adds to 95% dark (universe).

2 hours ago, Strange said:

Nonsense.

So the expansion of the universe has not been slowing due to gravity, as (scientists   wished) everyone thought, it has been accelerating. No one expected this (although I did, (but) why don’t they mention me?), no one knew how to explain it (but I did (with gravitational push*). Is that quote suppose to be scientific propaganda=brainwashing?). But something was causing it.

 

*I predicted Hubble’s constant starts small, increases, & (then) tapers off as we progress outwards from the (universe’s) center.

Scientists originally did NOT know if it was a straight line, curved: up; or down (=taper off).

 

Energy is Leibnitz’s (math) physics (NOT Newtonian).

Momentum is Newtonian physics.

 

Maybe you should (also) deal with the real McCoy?

 

 

Theorists still don't know what the correct explanation is..

Their solution is called “dark energy”.

 

More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery.

 

So they are pleading their (own) stupidity,

 & attempting to put everyone in the same boat.

 

roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%.

 

Together that (& mass as energy) constitutes 95% total (of the universe).

2 affects, both dark=unknown why or what.

 

Other than that, the article (is friendly &) explains well. Thanks.

 

Another explanation for how space acquires energy comes from the quantum theory of matter. In this theory, "empty space" is actually full of temporary ("virtual") particles that continually form and then disappear. But when physicists tried to calculate how much energy this would give empty space, the answer came out wrong - wrong by a lot. The number came out 10120 times too big. That's a 1 with 120 zeros after it. It's hard to get an answer that bad. So the mystery continues.

 

At least they are honest, (thus) making themselves credible.

Now if Swansont says (or continues to say) Physics has NO problems;
 & that only I have the problems,

 then I guess he was not (really) aware of that 1.

 

The article confirms you guys need help,

 because you’ve got big problems

 you have NOT solved.

If I believed you 10 years ago,

 it’s all wrong today.

How do I know what you now declare,

 is not wrong,

 & will not be declared outdated, again?

Who had expected a 180° change, in views?

(Some) TV documentaries are (now) suggesting physics may need to be newly redefined.

 

(& just guess who has been working on that?)

 

A last possibility is that Einstein's theory of gravity is not correct.

But if it does turn out that a new theory of gravity is needed,
 what kind of theory would it be?

I don’t want to get (too) “pushy” (t)here.

 

Btw the book on the (book)shelf (mentioned earlier)

 is being pushed up (& maintained) at that (bookshelf) height,

 by the bookshelf (itself).

The maximum pressure is on the lowest side (of the book).

That isn't what you said. You can't pretend to be correct by lying.

But if you are so proud of you ignorance of cosmology, I suggest you start a thread to show it off, rather than polluting this one with even more irrelevant and ignorant ramblings.

I really don't know why you post on a science site: you are almost totally ignorant, you are unwilling to learn (because you believe your ignorant guesses trump years of theoretical and experimental science) and you have a very poor opinion of scientists. Perhaps you should find a more appropriate forum. Perhaps one about sewage engineering.

We are describing how nature behaves. We don't get to tell nature how to behave. So if it takes more than one equation to do the former, then that's how it is. Nature is a tad complicated.

What do you mean (exactly) by electrical work? (E.g What formula are you referring to?).

I know I can achieve the same amount of spring displacement (angle distance),

I stated Maxwell versus Heaviside as a tendancy (analogy)

 (towards simpification,

 from a non_PhD (Heaviside)

 to their wonder (e.g. at least Maxwell));

 but Oliver's uncle was Kirchhoff

 whose law pertains to the meter's functioning, as well.

(If that's the connection (relavance) you are searching for, from my statement,

Naturally my (own, (formula) compression) ratio is not 20:4,

I don't trust that you have done a sufficiently careful experiment, since you don't seem to understand that there is only mechanical work done while the needle is moving.

And since there is no motion once the needle stops, and thus no work, how can you possibly think that the mechanical work(or power) equation can be applied?

Yes. The answer depends on how things are defined

 (versus how they are derived=self_defined, instead);

 & which basis of reference(d definitions should be used

 for trouble_shooting).

I question both of James Watts

 definitions: mechanical_power P_W=F*va;

 & work_energy WE=F*d

 (as possible culprits

 of the problems).

Thus, I should isolate both

 & NOT_use (=avoid) them

 as my (starting) basis.

Instead I should choose

 another definition

 (that is more reliable)

 on which to rely (on)

 just (in case) to be careful

 & see what gets derived (out,

 from that (other or new) usage).

In my case I have used

 the 2 (simple) quantities:

 (Newton's) force;

 & displacement (angle) distance.

E.g. If a units problem occurs,

 then there is always the question:

 where (=at which end, or perspective)

 should we tackle the problem (1st)?

What could be corrupt?

 & what could be used, instead

 that is (more) reliable?

.

If I push a cart, it's mechanical and no electrical.

But if the cart is braked, or too heavy

 when you push,

 then it will (also) NOT move

 (thus no mechanical work,

 even if you are using a bull_dozer

 e.g. to push a(n extremely large) tree, or mountain of granite

 that does not budge (a bit),

 although your gasoline gets wasted

 trying all day

 till the gas tank is empty

 (although paid, for that chemical energy).

James Watt's (2) definitions (P & WE)

 do NOT account

 for what does NOT get moved!

How can you rely

 on that deficit

 when dealing with

 (a declaration

It's ridiculous!

So, how can there be one equation?

Via a (self_defining) derivation.

Yes. Those told me how you are looking at things,

 so I can orientate better

 as to finding the problem

 (in the communication gap).

You do NOT see any problem with energy

 so you trust it completely,

 & automatically use it (instinctively);

 while I do the opposite

 avoiding energy as much as possible

 with the suspicion

 that it is corrupt

Multiply by time to get the energy.

If I multiplied force by time, instead

 I would get momentum,

 which I would prefer (& trust more).

I'd trust Newton's force & momentum;

 over Leibnitz's energy, & James Watt's power.

As I think we discussed, there is no work being done while there is no motion.

Yes, that exclusion (of motion) in (James) Watt's definition of work (energy) & power

 is the (deficit) problem.

That deficit won't (always) allow a total account

 for registering energy conservation.

Intuitively, we know we can loose energy

 without being able to account for it (=the lost energy)

 with Watt's method. E.g. bull dozer against a mountain all day getting nothing done except getting warm=hot.

Here I (hope I) have shown why.

You have too many examples to know which one you are referring to, and you tend to leave out sufficient detail to have a useful discussion.

I don't trust that you have done a sufficiently careful experiment,

I do not brag about any of my experimental results (precision),

 they are only done to orientate me,

 for what tendancy is to be expected

 (based on my algebra).

Quote

since you don't seem to understand that there is only mechanical work done while the needle is moving.

As I have said that's the weakness in (James) Watt's definition.

His definition is unacceptable (for me).

It does NOT fit in well enough

 with Newton's math

 (for me).

Quote

And since there is no motion once the needle stops, and thus no work, how can you possibly think that the mechanical work(or power) equation can be applied?

I suspect you are right there.

I must drop the usage of mechanical work (energy)

 & attempt to exclusively use (Newtonian) momentum (& force);

 instead of (work) energy (& James Watt's mechanical power).

Otherwise I'm only asking for future problems

 with such unreliable definition as those from James Watt.

EM wave motion is not mechanical.

Please explain a bit.

Isn't mechanical, a motional (=moving) mass study (analysis, e.g. measurements).

Don't waves have momentum mom=m*v?

I question both of James Watts

And the answer to your question is that no, the equations are fine, when used within the constraints of how they may be applied. Which can possibly be understood by studying some physics.

The equations are very reliable. The problem lies with the person using them, not understanding how to use them. Then it's like a neophyte using a power tool. Unfortunate things can happen..

James Watt's (2) definitions (P & WE)

Yes.You have to use the equations that apply to the problem, rather than using ones which don't. If you need to account for thermodynamic events, you must apply thermodynamics. If you don't then simple mechanics will work for such a problem, e.g. you could simply be accounting for work done by a frictional force, rather than having to worry about heat and temperature. It depends on the problem. And, of course, if you have current and resistance, etc., you will need to use electrical equations. But if these effects are absent, you would not.

It depends on the parameters of the problem.

That energy is conserved can be derived. It is one of Noether's theorems.

It is true that one cannot always experimentally measure all of the energy in a system, so conservation of energy is not always useful to apply, even if it is conserved. In an inelastic collision, for example. One cannot easily account for the kinetic energy that is converted into other forms. (i.e. collisions don't tend to conveniently take place inside of calorimeters)

If I multiplied force by time, instead

OK. Solve some problems involving thermodynamics with conservation of momentum. Go ahead. Try it. Or even a block sliding down an inclined plane with friction. Or an elastic collision, without involving energy.

That, too, has limits on practicality.

Unfortunately (I suspect) you might have missed my point?

The electrical "watt" (definition), conflicts (severely) with the mechanical value in (=by) an exponential amount. I.e.

According to (my) experiment(s), using Hooke's spring law, equating forces, for the same (=identical) angular displacement.

I can NOT verify the committee's (electrical) definition (because it is way off!). I do not get the correct (electrical) values (when compared to mechanical values) using their assumption (=definition).

I do get correct (electrical & mechanical, corelation) values using my formula Fiv=(I*V)^0.5, (=F=ma=Wt=m*g) instead.

That is why the(ir) (electrical) units are crazy!

(According to my formula derivations (the (electrical) units for), current multiplied by voltage should be (mechanical) watt_squared, instead of (only) watt units.)

& I don't know how to explain that (discrepancy, problem) to you otherwise. Maybe you can help?

Quote

And the answer to your question is that no, the equations are fine, when used within the constraints of how they may be applied. Which can possibly be understood by studying some physics.

I think you have made your point,

 that (our earthly) work energy WE=F*d (concept)

 is a very limited (=restricted) basis

 for studying the total cosmic system (accurately)

 (because it lacks the static case,

 & can only document moving things).

It's useful for studying some (e.g. moving) things,

 but not everything (e.g. static wrt to our own (earth's) speed),

 thus useless in those cases).

Quote

You should use them when the conditions allow their use.

I however, am looking for a more universal formula instead

  of those (limited) restrictions.

Quote

The physics definition is reliable, if you understand the physics

restrictions (=limits)

.

(That sounds (a bit) like using a crutch, as a sports car, for the (human) race.)

Quote

If not, all bets are off and you will likely end up with nonsense.

(I think) I've made some sense out of the chaos.

Quote

Displacement angle is not the same as displacement distance.

Quite right.

But do you have a problem with (using) a (D'Arsenval_meter's)  spiral_spring (versus linear_spring)

 & seeing the (for me, obvious) correlation, & (my self_allowed) substitution?

Either: weights or electrical rooted_power produce identical deflection angles

 (confirming Hooke's law F=-x*k, angularly F=-theta*k).

Quote

The equations are very reliable.

As you can (or will) see, there are discrepancies

 between the electrical versus mechanical watt values.

So at least 1 of them is doubtful.

Quote

The problem lies with the person using them, not understanding how to use them.

Quite true & I propose the committee's personal concerning the electrical concerns

 might need to brush up a bit on the facts.

To my person, I am always learning.

Quote

Then it's like a neophyte using a power tool. Unfortunate things can happen..

I agree, as we have seen. e.g. my errata thread.

Quote

Energy does not have a direction.

I would have said, (heat) energy('s randomness) could have a net direction of all directions,

 thus an exclusive single direction

 is NOT discernible.

Quote

Yes.

I tend to agree with you (improvising where possible).

That energy is conserved can be derived. It is one of Noether's theorems.

Could you (please) summarize that for me that I could comprehend it better (that it would stay better in my memory)?

Quote

Then derive it.

OK. It's a repeat (from above).

Newton's force

Fn=m*a
Wt=m*g

Hooke's (spring) force

Fs=-x*k

then angularly

Fa=-theta*k2

electrical (rooted power's) force

Fiv=(I*V)^0.5

Equate Newton's force (gravitationally as weight)

 with the electrical force

 because the angular displacements are identical gives

Wt=Fiv

m*g=(I*V)^0.5

Should I go further?

Quote

It is true that one cannot always experimentally measure all of the energy in a system, so conservation of energy is not always useful to apply, even if it is conserved. In an inelastic collision, for example.

If I may say(?),

 during an elastic collision

 there is a brief period (=duration of time)

 when the collision is non_elastic.

?

Quote

One cannot easily account for the kinetic energy that is converted into other forms. (i.e. collisions don't tend to conveniently take place inside of calorimeters).

What do you mean (there) by conveniently?

Are you saying, many collisions are very complicated?

I see that KE fails to account for everything, & that some of the other (so_called converted energy) forms might be (unjustifiable) guesses=assumptions.

Quote

OK. Solve some problems involving thermodynamics with conservation of momentum.

I don't see the problem with putting things on a momentum basis,

 but I don't know the thermodynamics you are looking for.

(Could you please tell me the formulas you want & mean?)

Momentum is

mom=m*v

mom=m*((vi^2+2*h*g)^0.5)-vi)

with

speed_difference v=((vi^2+2*h*g)^0.5)-vi)

initial speed (velocity) vi, &

mass m.

The only problem there

 is sequentially dealing with negatives

 under the root sign, correctly,

 when squaring both sides.

Please give me a simple thermodynamic problem

 (to get started),

 that needs the momentum conversion.

If you give me enough hints

 maybe I can convert (for you)?

I do not know if I can,

 because I don't know enough of your thermodynamics (syntax & concepts you exclusively use)

 to evaluate if I can.

Quote

Go ahead. Try it. Or even a block sliding down an inclined plane with friction.

I know (next to) nothing about them (inclined planes & friction).

If you help get me started (with the energy description setup),

 maybe I could (also) convert that to momentum

 for you?

Quote

Or an elastic collision, without involving energy.

For (starting with) a non_elastic collision

The total momentum of the system is (also)

mom3^2=mom1+mom2, ^2=square both sides

mom3^2=(mom1+mom2)^2, gives

mom3^2=mom1^2+2*mom1*mom2+mom2^2, rearranged that'( i)s

mom3^2=(mom1^2)+(mom2^2)+(2*mom1*mom2).

So you (can) see there is some continuity.

Assume mom4^2=-2*mom1*mom2.

If mom1 & mom2 are the initial momentums,

 then mom3 & mom4 are the final momentums;

 where initial mass1 m1=m3 mass3 final,

 & initial mass2 m2=m4 mass4 final.

I.e. Odd postscript numbers are for the same mass.

& even postscript numbers are for the same mass.

Please choose some values,

 & we can (try to) extract some answers.

Before=After collision

(mom1^2)+(mom2^2)=(mom3^2)+(mom^4^2).

Quote

Fortunately you are not the arbiter of acceptance in physics.

EM waves have no mass.

If a wave has momentum (e.g. impulse)

 then I would say

 it also has a very small mass m (=mom/c) value

 based on the momentum formula

 (& wave_speed c=v),

 only as a number.

I mean I can equate.

I suspect they didn't because they (attempt to) use constant voltage(s) V.

Piv^0.5=((V^2)/R)^0.5=V/(R^0.5)

=I*(R^0.5).

Metering (for billing) is indicating current flowing.
