Faraday's Cage

MIT Physics Demo

In the electric field of a Van de Graaff generator, an unprotected Ben Franklin feels electrostatic forces. However, when a metal cage surrounds him, he is completely shielded against any electricity or electrostatic force. This is due to the fact that all charges in a conductor reside on the outer surface, and always rearrange themselves to cancel out the electric field in the interior.

Crescat scientia; Vita Excolatur:

"Leadership is not magnetic personality that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations."

"Jika Hidup ini seumpama rel kereta api dalam eksperimen relativitas, maka pengalaman demi pengalaman yang mengempur kita dari waktu ke waktu adalah cahaya yang melesat-lesat di dalam gerebong di atas rel itu. Relativitasnya berupa seberapa banyak kita dapat mengambil pelajaran dari pengalaman yang melesat-lesat itu, maka analoginya adalah jika pengalaman yang sama dapat menimpa siapa saja, namun sejauh mana dan secepat apa pengalaman itu memberi pelajaran pada seseorang, hasilnya akan berbeda, relatif satu sama lain."
