Are cables prisons for electricity?

[Anonymous]

It's like enslaving electricity, they make them out of rubber, cause rubber is too strong for electricity, like metal is for us and then we have them do labor and make it do what we want by taking it's freedom of unpredictable-ness, we just make it do stuff by running it through a cable, another thing is where does the electricity go when we use it, it just dies?

The law of conservation of energy says that energy is neither created nor destroyed. When people use energy, it doesn't disappear, but instead, it changes from one form of energy into another form. Think heat, light, sound waves, radio waves, etc. You supply AC current to your computer when you plug it into an outlet, but light waves comes out of the screen for you to see the output, sound waves comes out of the speakers for you to hear output, and heat is radiated from the CPU, GPU, and so on as calculations are conducted... Cables are conductors of electricity. Current flows through conductors when voltage is applied across it because of the movement of electrons within that conductor. That creates an electric field and exerts a force on the free electrons in the conductor forcing them to move in a certain direction. The more electrons that move, the stronger the current. The resistance of the conductor opposes the flow of current generating heat. If the heat exceeds the melting point of the insulator, then it will escape the circuit and arch potentially causing fires. Electricity travels through cables to direct it towards desired work, but eventually it escapes the system.

Interesting 🤔

I have to ask… did you pick the wrong mushrooms when making dinner? 🧐

[Asker]

Yea the mushrooms from the Mario game

Wow, what a unique metaphor! Cables as prisons for electricity; truly the Shawshank Redemption of physics. But here’s the twist, guru: energy can’t be destroyed, remember? It just transforms kinda like your thoughts; chaotic at first, then somehow converted into forum posts no one saw coming. So it leaves the cable, tired of being micromanaged, and becomes heat, light, or whatever else you forced it to become

Definitely casperina 😂

And who is this mysterious Casperina you speak of? Sounds iconic. But what makes you think it’s me?

[Asker]

Its definitely you 😂

[MemeSupreme]

chico whyyyy lol what made you think of that

they're more likely highways that help guide them. if the electricity isn't being used then its like on standby just ready, but when it is then it becomes... EVERYTHING

more like*

[Asker]

Highways that force them to go one way? I don't know 🤔

Cables are like pipes for electrons. they allow electrons to flow from one place to another. Just like water can be used to turn a millwheel, electrons behave pretty much in the same manner.

It's terrible, I hope that electricity isn't claustrophobic 🫥

[DrPepper12]

Yes!! They seek an outlet for their ohms... Namaste.

I'll put you in an electricity prison

[Asker]

You can, I can morph to liquid rubber, I can squeeze through the bars and the electricity will be scared of me

[Asker]

Can't*

That's what Tesla said.
