Tries to clarify and explain some inaccuracies that appeared in a recent article dealing with a current induced in an external circuit due to charges moving within a device, an ionization chamber of planar geometry, in the circuit. (GA)

Investigates the change in weight associated with the electrostatic potential energy for a system of two point charges supported side by side against a weak gravitational field. (Author/GA)

Develops a theory to explain the effect that, when a current passes through a ball bearing, it can act as a motor. The motor can run in either direction on both DC and AC and can be self-starting on DC. Presents some experimental results in support of the theory. (Author/GA)

This paper presents a derivation of the number given by Fermi in 1925, in his semiclassical treatment of the motion of an electron in the field of two stationary positive charges, for Bohr quantization of the electron orbits when the stationary charges are positive, and applies it to an electron moving in the field of a stationary dipole.…

Describes a series of laboratory experiments and computer simulations of the motion of electrons in electric and magnetic fields. These experiments, which involve an inexpensive student-built electron gun, study the electron mean free path, magnetic focusing, and other aspects. (Author/HM)
