Having demonstrated how an abundance of low energy photons can be used to explain Ampère's right-hand grip rule, we can go on to the generation and transmission of electricity through copper wires.
Imagine a stick magnet with one of its poles pointing up.
Using Morton Spear's model of the photon, we can now imagine a bunch of low energy photons bouncing off the magnet. They all get the instruction to spin in a certain direction as they hit the magnet. Moving away from the magnet, the photons are all polarized with their axis of spin perpendicular to the top of the magnet.
These photons are like little rollers, all spinning perpendicular to the ground and transmitting this spin to other low energy photons by bumping into them.
If a copper wire, tied up to an ammeter to complete the circuit, lies at rest inside this field of polarized photons, nothing happens, the spinning photons are affecting the electrons inside the copper wire equally on both sides. All that is happening is that electrons inside the wire start to spin on their axis in harmony with the spin of the photons. No current is flowing in the wire.
Move the copper wire up and down, still nothing happens. The spinning photons are still affecting the electrons equally on both sides.
However, if we move the copper wire to the side so that it cuts through the field of polarized photons, photons on the cutting side of the copper wire get more traction than the trailing side. The electrons in the wire start moving according to the spin of the photons on the cutting side. We get a current.
Move the copper wire the other way through the field of polarized photons, and the spinning photons on the other side of the wire get more traction. The current starts moving in the other direction.
Turn the magnet, so the other pole points up. Repeat the experiment, and note that the current flows the opposite ways relative to the motion of the wire. The photons are spinning the other way, causing electrons to move in the opposite direction when they get traction.
The model of magnetic fields as polarized low energy photons holds. The spin of polarized photons will set electrons moving down a copper wire that cuts through the field lines.
The flow of electrons inside the rest of the copper wire can be envisioned as a variant of Newton's cradle, with electrons pushing on each other, moving energy along the wire at the speed of light.
However, the electrons never touch each other directly. What is happening is that the low energy photons between the electrons transfer energy down the line. The photons are influenced by the electric field of the electrons. There is photon pressure between the electrons keeping the electrons from colliding.
Each electron can be envisioned as a statically charged balloon. Each one possesses a static electric field that repels other electrons. However, this field is not transmitted by polarization of photons. It is transmitted as a coordination of orbits between photons. A strong electric field is one in which photons are strongly coordinated as to where each charged quantum is located inside adjacent photons. If one photon is forced to move. All photons are forced to move.
Since photons are moving about at the speed of light, this coordination is as fleeting and temporary as that of the polarization of photons.
Photons bumping into an electron get their instruction as how to arrange their charged quanta, and spread this information by bumping into other photons. This information is spread outwards until the information carrying photons either meet other photons that are in harmony with them, or other photons that are in opposition to them.
If there is harmony among the photons, they interact with an attracting force. If there is disharmony, they repel each other.
Repulsion is communicated as a bounce. The photon returns to the electron it headed away from, transferring the momentum it got from it back to the electron.
Attraction is communicated as a perpendicular redirection. The photon that traveled away from the electron is redirected into space. The momentum is not returned to the electron, and the electron moves closer to the object that produced the attracting force.
However, attraction is between opposite charges. In the case of two equal charges, there is repulsion.
Electrons repel each other. They keep a distance from each other. When one moves, every electron in its vicinity moves with it, and this is how current is transmitted in a wire.
