You're trying to discuss quantum physics with a fool like Neal? He gets all
of his learning from the back of soda cans.

but isn't Bob's point that the electron is moving, and in doing so must
have a path, and hence, by definition, is electrical current?

What a behind-the-times bunch of Putzes!

It has been proven electrons don't have an orbit. According to
quantum mechanics, electrons only have probability of filling those
areas around the core of an atom where the wave component of
the electron can exist without canceling itself out.

I hope this helps.

I see what you mean. Each electron orbit is a closed circuit.
Does emf play some role in propelling an electron through its orbit?

The flux must cross a closed conductor (loop) for current to flow. But
that
is pertinent to a permanent magnet.

Atoms have magnetic fields from the electron orbits. The electron is
in
motion around the nucleus in a closed path. The electron, through its
motion, is a current and generates a magnetic field. If enough atoms
are
in
correct alignemnt you have a net magnetic field.

A permanent magnet does have current flow.

I believe the Swedes did a study that showed there were know ill
effects
on
people, but I would pass on it if it were overhead. I believe
their
study
was directly overhead. 200 feet probably wouldn't be an issue.
More
investigation is, of course, warranted.

Makes one wonder about the magic magnetic bracelets and bands
people
wear
for pain management. Why would magnetic flux be a miracle cure
when
produced
by a permanent magnet but not when produced by current flow?
