Potential Energy vs. Kinetic Energy
By: Thomas Lee Abshier, ND
- The orbiting electron generates a magnetic field by virtue of its charge-movement.
- The electrical and magnetic fields of the orbiting electron have the potential for
doing work. But, that field remains potential energy until it has produced movement
on another charged particle.
- The electron emits an E Field (charge) and a B field (spin) by virtue of its existence.
The movement of the electron around in an orbit is resistanceless, and that movement
of charge creates a B field.
· This resistanceless flow of current that creates a B field is also seen in the
supercooled, superconducting magnets of the MRI units.
· This phenomenon of resistanceless current flow is attributed to a resonant pairing
between electrons in the superconducting coils.
- In the electron orbital the electron and nucleus pair and produce a net B field.
· It is this B field that is the location of the stored momentum of the orbiting
electron.
· Likewise, the field is a potential force against which other particles may act.
· Thus, kinetic energy is stored in the magnetic field of a particle.
- The potential energy and the kinetic energy of the charged particles sum together
and comprise the total energy of the universe.
· The Kinetic energy given to the universe during its repulsive Big Bang expansion
phase, plus the total amount of repulsive and attractive force present between all
the particles of the universe is the total energy present in the universe.
· All movement and collision is simply an exchange of energy to different places,
and to different forms.
- Background Physics Theory: Work is movement that overcomes a force, or movement against
force over a distance.
· W= F∆x
· To create movement, the force of action must be greater than the force of the resistance.
· The electron creates an Electric field that exerts a force on the external world.
· If movement is done against that force, or if that force acts on a mass and accelerates
it, then work has been done. Potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.
· Atomic orbitals can bond with other atoms and do work. Usually a repulsive barrier
must be overcome by a collision, and then an orbital that is weakly bound to an atom
will find itself able to dwell in a shared orbital with two atoms. Such a covalent
bonding moves two atoms closer together, and work is done in the process.
· Likewise, kinetic collisions between atoms result in the rebound of colliding fields.
The force applied by an incoming atom may repel an atom struck by its incoming momentum.
The repulsive forces of the outer electrons, and the EM field transferring energy
to the second atom is an example of an atom doing work by kinetic collision.
