The fact remains, on an open circuit there is no resistance since there is no voltage.

How would you define an open circuit?

Also there is voltage since the switch, is the switch. To make it so there's no voltage you'd have to put another switch before the switch, or turn the power supply off altogether.

Dont be so stupid. If the switch is off there is no voltage unless you bridge across the break with a voltmeter, or ground one leg. On a 110v system each leg has 55v, giving one ten across the two. This works because while one phase acts as a feed, the other acts as a return (between pulses)

An open circuit is defined as:

Open circuit
A condition in an electric circuit in which there is no path for current between two points; examples are a broken wire and a switch in the open, or off, position. Open-circuit voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit when a branch (current path) between the points is open-circuited. Open-circuit voltage is measured by a voltmeter which has a very high resistance (theoretically infinite).

There's nothing stupid about that, you just said the same thing with different words. Bridging across the break is what I meant because that's also what happens when the voltage becomes high enough on one of the terminals. There's only "no voltage" when the entire thing is turned off, meaning the whole power supply.

Now this description is inadequate here, since we only have one supply wire, there's no need for a path for current in the normal sense. In this case, between two terminals of a bulb can be considered a circuit because the current path is effectively from one side of the filament to the other, after the filament the wire doesn't need to return to the power supply so it's already an open circuit by the normal definition.

quote:

Electric power distribution requires a circuit, usually represented as two wires leading to a device that uses electricity. In AC current, one wire is negative and the other is either is positive or neutral (ground). The two wires take turns at sending electricity. In North America, AC current uses a standard "rhythm" in which each side gets its turn 60 times each second, thus the 60Hz designation given to standard AC current. This switching of polarity takes the form of a rhythmic pulse in the electrical current that occurs within the normal audible range. This is why you can actually hear this rhythm in circuits such as fluorescent lighting ballasts and audio equipment as a low buzzing tone. This buzz is referred to as "sixty cycle hum". Prior to the 1970s, two AC power schemes were used in North America. One offered energy at 45-50Hz, the other at 60Hz. "Fifty-cycle power", occasionally referred to as "rural power", is now obsolete and the 60Hz standard is now used throughout North America.

I want going to reply to your nonsense anymore but why not.

AC, is pulsed, wtf do you think Alternate Current stands for. Your own 220v supplies come from two 110v phases. In the Uk our 240V system comes via a 240v phase and a neutral.

You keep up with the ad hominem attacks on my to avoid your own fucking ignorance and stupidity comming to light. If you are going to troll please learn wtf you are talking about.

read my lips,

AC IS NOT A FUCKING PULSE!

Ac is sinusoidal and a PULSE is best represented by an asymptote.

get a fucking clue already, this is getting beyond tiresome.

Let us turn to the Heaviside Equation which is the most fundamental equations in all of Electrical Engineering:

(RG + XB) + j (XG – RB) = propagation constant squared

where:

R resistance in Ohms
G conductance in Siemens
X reactance in Henrys per second
B susceptance in Farads per second

Therefore:

RG is the scalar or DC component that is NOT A WAVE,
XB is the longitudinal or AC component and is an alternating electric wave

XG is the transverse or OC component and is a forward moving oscillating electric wave. RB is the transverse or OC component and is a reverse moving oscillating electric wave

This equation allows for all electrical conditions in time and or space and combinations thereof. The example equation is the dimensions of time (see: Steinmetz Theory of Transient Electric Waves and Phenomenon and also my paper: Symbolic Representation of the Generalized Electric Wave.)

Example:

The air in the room; the room is filled with air and has atmospheric pressure of 2998 mB, your stereo is blasting away, the speakers are creating longitudinal waves having length and frequency and exert a oscillating force centered on 2998 mB (+ or – 10 mB)

RG is the air pressure, a scalar
XB is the sound of the stereo, a longitudinal wave

XG = RB, thus no transverse waves exist (XG – RB) = ZERO

Hence (RG + XB) is what is going on in the room, the disinformers have convinced you that this whole quantity (RB + XB) is scalar, RG is the only scalar component. It is DC and has NO FREQUENCY, no WAVELENGTH and thus NO WAVE! SCALAR = NO WAVE - GET IT???

DrSock, your post is about radio waves. What has that to do with household power and the ability to harness it from the sky.....free no less, for general use ?

No.

No...........Is that it, no expansion or explaination, just "no"

You and RO are posting misleading crap and trying to fool people into thinking we can have free electricity to run houses, offices, towns and cities. Instead of using oil.......you are both full of nonsense and almost probably one of you a sock.

RO has also tried to convince me of the following

Bush downed the twin towers
George III still owns America
The nazis provided olympic swimming pools for those in the death camps (Got to make them comfy before the gas chambers huh )

And you wonder why I wont fall for the crap he constantly spouts. Next he will be suggesting I slept with Cheryl Cole...... if only eh.
