you joined TR just to telll me that???
I was hoping you had something useful to add to this thread about fuel pump rewiring.
anyways, current draw is based off of mechanical load placed on the electrical motor. Fuel pressure changes more often than you can count on one hand every second, and it can change as much as ~20 psi in just that one second, which translates into ALOT of load differential being placed on the electric motor that drives the pumping mechanism; gears. this means that the current draw is not linear and can 'oscillate' quite a bit... so going by what you just said, the electrons will spend MOST of their time riding on the surface because the current oscillates.
btw, what is the frequency of a ~12v DC system? i know that standard household 120v AC is 60Hz, but i dont recall what 12v-16v DC current frequency is.
btw, according to your statement, my previous post is True, but not 100% of the time. you said :
Electrons travel on the surface of a metal in a static field
THen you said:
however with a constant current, the moving electrons are spread throughout the cross section
which means that the REST of the time, my statement is false. but for the time that current is NOT Constant, Im right and my previous statement is true.
anyways, i appreciate your input. now i will meet more people who know that electrons ride on the surface of the conductor when the current draw is NOT static, but ride thrut he whole conductor when the current draw IS static.
