Well, now its 10/99, and several people HAVE yelled at me, but it still didn't get me up off of my butt.



VISIBLE SUPERCONDUCTOR PLATE

The 'visual electricity' device lets us see the motion of the charges inside of a wire. This might be helpful for visualizing how circuits work, but what about conductors which are not one-dimensional? For example, what does the current in a piece of copper sheet look like when the terminals of a battery are touched against it? Or, when a supermagnet rolls down an aluminum plate, and electromagnetic braking slows the motion, what does the current in the plate look like? Or, when a magnet hovers above a superconductor plate, what is the motion of the charges in the plate?
