The Sex Life Of An Electron
One night when his charge was pretty high, Mike O'Fared
decided to find a cute coil and let her discharge him. He
picked up Millie Amp and took her for a ride on his
Mega-Cycle. They rode across the Wheatstone bridge, around
the sine curve and into the magnetic field next to the
flowing current. Mike O'Farad, attracted by Millie Amp's
characteristic curves, soon had her field fully excited. He
laid her on the ground potential, raised her frequency and
pulled out his high voltage probe. He inserted it in
parallel and began to short-circuit her shunt. Fully
excited, Millie Amp cried "give me Mho." With his tube at
maximum output, and his coil vibrating from the current
flow, her shunt soon became overheated due to his push-pull
excitation. At maximum reactance they finally resonated.
They fluxed all night, trying various connections and
sockets until his bar magnet had lost all of its field
strength. Afterwards Millie Amp tried self-induction and
damaged her solenoid. They ended up reversing polarity and
blowing each other's fuses.
