- The Sex Life of an Electron
-
- One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro Farad decided
- to try and get 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 by the
- sinewave and stopped in a magnetic field by a flowing current.
-
- Micro Farad, attracted by Millie's curves, soon had his
- resistance at a minimum and his field fully excited.
- He laid her on the ground potential, raised her
- frequency, lowered her capacitance and pulled out his
- high voltage probe.
-
- He inserted it into her socket, connecting them in parallel, and
- began to short circuit her shunt. Fully excited, Millie
- Amp said, "Mho, Mho, Mho! Give me mho!"
-
- With his tube operating at a maximum peak, and her
- coil vibrating, Micro Farad was rapidly discharging.
-
- They fluxed all night trying various connections and sockets
- until his bar induction magnet had lost all of its field strength.
-
- Afterwards, Millie Amp tried self-induction and damaged her solenoid.
- With his battery fully discharged, Micro Farad was unable
- to excite his generator so they ended by reversing
- polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
-
- Watt a night!
