- THE SEX LIFE OF THE ELECTRON

- by D.C. Current

-
- One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided
- to seek a cute little coil to let him discharge.
-
- He picked up Millie-Amp and took her for a ride on his Megacycle.
- They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge, around the sine waves and
- stopped in the magnetic field by a flowing current.
-
- Micro-Farad, attracted by Millie-Amps characteristic curves, soon
- had her fully charged and excited her resistance to a minimum. He laid
- her on the ground potential, raised her frequency and lowered her
- reluctance.
-
- He pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket
- connecting them in parallel, and began short circuiting her resistance
- shunt. Fully excited, Millie-Amp mumbled, "OHM - OHM - OHM - OHM".
-
- With his tube operating at a maximum and her field vibrating with
- his current flow, he caused her shunt to overheat and Micro-Farad was
- rapidly discharged and drained of every electron.
-
- They fluxed all night, trying various connections and sockets,
- until his magnet had a soft core and lost all of it's field strength.
-
- Afterwards, Millie-Amp tried self induction and damaged her
- solenoids. With his battery fully discharged, Micro-Farad was unable
- to excite his field, so they spent the rest of the night reversing
- polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
