Cathode Ray Experiment with JJ Thomson

Volta discovered that electrons move

Volta discovered that electrons move

​

In 1800 was the year, and Volta was Italian

​

Nickel and cadmium today are used to power things that move

And electrons are mobile we learn in high school often

​

So Volta put metals in salty water and saw how things could move

​

But Edison we remember so well

Edison who needed Volta to power up a bulb that changed the way we see poetry

​

And poetry moves people to look up JJ Thomson under the light of incandescent bulbs

And he saw a green colored light that so few understand

​

But Volta must not be forgotten, for Thomson hooked up a power source to a glass tube with metal and saw electrons in motion

​

And Rutherford drew a picture of an atom that was different than plum pudding

And electrons move and electrons move and

Electrons are not light

​

Electrons move in a straight line sometimes,

 

like in a battery circuit

​

​

Electrons move in a wave through time, like in

 

a circuit for home appliances

​

​

H(f) is a function that describes the inner 

​

workings of a circuit in the frequency domain

​

​

So there is an H(f) for a blender, for example

​

​

So when we think of voltage, we will need to

 

see how this fundamental equation 

​

V=IR works when the current varies over time

​

​

H(f) is a dream function of God

​

And this is the place where we begin
