[Amps] Hole Flow

[Fuqua, Bill L]

  Another difference between the world of engineers/physicist and technicians is 
angular frequency (radians per second) and Frequency ( Hertz or cycles per second).
This manifest itself in different ways, Planck's constant is sometimes h and others "h bar".
You have to be careful when doing calculations to make sure you use the same constant. 
The oddest thing is that even though scientist seem to prefer angular frequency they often 
switch to wavelength and have to resort correct by 2PI anyway.

   It is interesting that in the "Now You're Talking" books from the ARRL, they tried to
avoid arrows showing direction of current flow in their simple illustrations of parallel and
series circuits.
   I often find myself having to correct myself from time to time when going from explaining
how electrons flow thru conductors to illustrations of simple circuit analysis. I grew up in
both worlds.
   I have always believed that a good electrical engineer must first be a good technician.

REPLY:

If there is anything an engineer hates, it is to be wrong. They are paid to
be right and will fight to the death over a concept rather than admit an
error.
