Electrical Currents

[edit source]

I thought I would lay in a framework on which to build this lesson. Especially since Electrical current is outside the normal comfort zone for biologists. Take a look and tell me what you think--Graeme E. Smith 15:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

On May 27th 2009 someone changed the quiz entry

An Electron travels:

To An Electron Wavefront travels:

Is this Vandalism, or a natural confusion about the Wave Particle Duality of Mass? Certainly it is outside the theoretical level of consciousness that I was attempting to address. I feel that it is overspecifying the question and therefore I vote to revert it. How-ever I am willing to take instruction on the subject. My decision is based on the following:

  1. I am writing a quiz for a biologist not a physicist and don't wish to confuse the biologist with wave/particle duality questions
  2. I am dealing in this quiz mainly with electrons as components of IONS Where the wave particle nature is incidental to the charge, and the nature of the electron is absorbed into the nature of the ion.
  3. The change came out of nowhere and no comment was left on the page to indicate why the change was made, therefore assuming that this is the mode that vandals usually take, it is entirely likely that this was a vandal attack.

As a result of this reasoning I am reverting the edit, until someone convinces me otherwise.--Graeme E. Smith 19:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
