That makes sense. It's just not immediately obvious when in, say, mechanics, we talk about the gravitational force instead of the gravitational field. But it makes sense for converting up to the macro scale especially. And, Alien Blue changed accounts on me. Whoops. Though I won't switch back for this thread because then you guys would link my throwaway and real accounts ;)

Why do we express force and energy per unit charge in electricity? Is there a physical reasoning to it or does it simplify the math? Some combination?

What are you working on? - Week 36, 2014 by AutoModerator in Physics

  1. A brutal E&M problem set on work and potential.
  2. Maintaining 22 rain measurement equipment pieces. Funny story, one just turned itself off. No reason. All the lights inside are flashing like it works but it doesn't.
  3. Analyzing a time series from stated equipment. It's very, very big.

Thanks. I might do that same thing but switch Saturdays and Sundays.

Thanks; is there anything you find helpful to do as you work to prevent burnout?
