• The sex life of an electron

  One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided to seek out a cute little coil to help his discharge.  He picked up Milli-Amp and took her for a ride in his Megacycle.  They rode across the Wheatstone bridge and stopped by a Magnetic field with flowing currents and frolicked in the sine waves. 

  Micro-Farad, attracted by Milli-Amp's characteristic curves, soon had her fully charged and proceeded to excite her resistance to a minimum.  He gently laid her at ground potential, raised her frequency, and lowered her reluctance.  With a quick arc, he pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket, connecting them in parallel. 

  He slowly began short circuiting her resistance shunt while quickly raising her thermal conductivity level.  Fully excited, Milli-Amp mumbled, "Ohm...Ohm...Ohm" , with his tube operating well into class C, and her field vibrating with his current flow, a corona formed which instantly caused her shunt to overheat just at the point when Micro-Farad rapidly discharged and drained off every electron into her grid.  They fluxed all night trying various connectors and sockets until his magnet had a soft core and lost all its field strength.

  Afterwards, Milli-Amp tried self induction and damaged her soleniods, and with his battery fully discharged, Micro-Farad was unable to excite his field.  Not ready to be quiescent, they spent the rest of the evening reversing polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
