      As current flows through a wire, the power dissipated in the supply wires is \(P = I^2 R_W\), where \(R_W\) is the resistance of the wires and I is the current flowing through the wires.

Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\): An electric current can cause muscular contractions with varying effects. (a) The victim is “thrown” backward by involuntary muscle contractions that extend the legs and torso. (b) The victim can’t let go of the wire that is stimulating all the muscles in the hand.

The radiation pressure is greater than the Sun’s gravity if the particle size is smaller, because the gravitational force varies as the radius cubed while the radiation pressure varies as the radius squared.

An electric generator rotates a coil in a magnetic field, inducing an emf given as a function of time by \(\displaystyle ε=NBAωsin(ωt)\) where A is the area of an N-turn coil rotated at a constant angular velocity \(\displaystyle ω\) in a uniform magnetic field \(\displaystyle \vec{B}\).

In addition, he showed that the negatively charged electrons perpetually orbited about this nucleus, forming a sort of electrically charged cloud that surrounds the nucleus (Figure ​​​​​​​\(\PageIndex{5}\)).
