First I would like to sincerely thank you for the above reply, that is exactly what I was wishing for, and it would be an excellent foundation for further discussion. There is so many things I wish to learn about this subject. And I'm sorry for the things we had to go through to come to this...

I gave a reason for my sincere apology. And I wrote the word "sincere" which I understand means "Being without hypocrisy or pretense; true." in the English language. I endeavour to choose my words with care, I don't consume or abuse words or use them as random filler, I respect words. That's...

Yeah, but a 'charged question' isn't necessarily malicious and 'trick' implies malice. Are there perhaps other suitable terms in the English language?

How and where exactly? I always appreciate when people are trying to help and I don't mind criticism. What I mind is assumptions. I understand and realize fully that I occasionally use concepts in non-standard ways which draws attention away from the essence of my question. This is always...

Unfortunately that is not how it comes over, I would be more comfortable with questions rather than assumptions. And I'll reciprocate your niceness; I'll drop whatever you want me to drop, but you will have to assist me, because I have no idea of where you feel I was out of line, some examples...

First of all, I feel I have posted a legitimate mainstream physics question fully compliant with PF terms & conditions, clinically devoid of any voodoo. I have initially categorized my question as "electrodynamics" related and posted it in "classical physics" because I'm interested in learning...

A facebook type meme.. OK, even though I always thought of PF more like this:

I always try to be curb my natural occurring sarcasm tendencies, because I feel that sarcasm is the lowest form of human communication. However I don't see where I have used sarcasm in this post, but I can understand that you were amused anyway, so all is not that bad. To address your question...

I appreciate that. After further consideration I think I have provided too few details in my drawing, I should have inserted a switch between the power+ and the electrode/resistor net. This way it would have been clear that the circuit has two distinct states ON and OFF. I sincerely apologize...

Really? Color me surprised and hit me in the face with a blunt instrument of your personal preference. I would have thought at least one of two things would happen once the power is turned on: 1. The positive charges in the electrode will repel the positive charges in the aquatic solution 2. A...

Please behold my newest graphical masterpiece here below. The winner of this expensive artwork will be the first that can help me understand how the various particles respond to each others presence? The Cu2+ is supposed to depict CuSO4 pentahydrate in water, so I guess the correct term...

I'd say 'some' elecrects are made of dielectric material. 'congealed' - Yes! that's the correct term, I was looking for that word, thank you. Yes it probably would, but at the moment it doesn't matter as long as a dipole is formed, that would be the first success criteria. Because it was...

I'm asking the question because I'm interested in learning more about how ionic compounds behave in and around electric fields. I'm not actually going to make the proposed electret. The color of the Jello is irrelevant, and Jello may not yield an everlasting electrect, so it's more about the...

Ok, then I will venture a guess myself, let me know if I need to apply for a tuition refund. I'm guessing that if there is a cation at cathode the exact same moment an electrons impacts the anode, then electron will be absorbed by the anode and the cation will suck out an electron from the...

As I understand both cations and electrons are produced between cathode and anode in a gas discharge, but what is their imminent fate, during and post discharge event? The majority of information I could find only covers the electrons from the time of the first ionization event to impacting the...
