Physicaleducation Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hey guys I'm new to these forums and just had a question. If this is in the wrong place I will move it. I know for a fact that when electricity is placed upon a spring it compresses the spring. So my question is, if I can compress the spring to where it presumably has the max amount of EP in that system. And than I let stop the flow of electricity will the spring stretch at a slow pace or at a really high pace? And will all the EP just convert into EK? For eg. If I have a small weight on top of the spring that is too light to compress it by itself. And than I compress it using the electricity to its near max EP. If I shut off the flow, will the spring elongate and send that weight flying into the air? Thanks for reading and advice in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arc Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I know for a fact that when electricity is placed upon a spring it compresses the spring. Are you by chance referring to an electro-magnet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sriman Dutta Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I never knew that electric current can compress spring. Does it happen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
