In looking at this week's school schedule, apparently my DD13 will be taking a quiz in AP Physics today.

Yup.


The "Captors in Circuits" quiz is a part of today's physics class.

Wow. I had no idea that electrons could be personified to this extent.

Is it incarceration? Or more playful? I need to be sure that we have the right idea. We wouldn't want to wrongly dismiss the anguish of the electrons if they've been victimized. Are capacitors acting as internment camps for the electrons?

I had no idea...I feel so bad that I'd never truly considered the plight of the electrons. Maybe we should view resistors as behaving something like TSA checkpoints. grin
