Understanding electricity in the TPU.

     I see a photon as a moving electric field.  This is not the same thing as moving charged mass.  The magnetic field expresses the combination of electric force and inertial force.  Mass gives us the inertial forces and charge the electrical forces.  I dont believe that a moving electric field gradient in a vacuum produces a magnetic field change.  When the electric wave causes a charged particle to move then you get an electromagnetic wave.  Its like a displacement wave when you drop a rock in the water.  You need the water density air density and gravity to produce the wave.  The rock is going to displace anything it travels through but no water no air no gravity no wave.  So a photon causes a change in the electric field within the space of the field of interest.  Neutrals could care less but electrons do if the field is the right size and the angle of incidence is condusive to acceleration of the electron.  The electron feels a force imposed on it by the electric field polarization caused by the photon.  Too long a wavelength is like having an anode and a cathode too far apart.  The electron shell may be deformed but not enough to pop.  Too short a wavelength and the field gradient may be intense but not large enough compared to the electron shell.  But when it is just right the field causes electron seperation from the atom and a free electron is born.  When you have a conductor like gold silver copper they have prime number protons.  All elements try to become a noble gas.  Noble gasses all have coupled electrons in their outer shell.  But a conductor has electrons in motion jumping from one atom to the next.  This gives it a certain percentage of free electrons to work with that will respond to an electric field.  In a circuit we pump electrons to the edge of our contact wich carry a negative charge.  This amassing of the electrons is felt by the other free electrons in the wire attached to the other contact.  The amassing of the electrons will radiate a negative pole which if the electron density is enough will cause free electrons in the collector conductor to be accelerated and a chain reaction travels on down the rest of the circuit.  THE AMASSING of the electrons need not result in a current across the switch contacts to initiate a current in the load circuit.  If the momentum of the electrons is such that it is greater than the coolumb force between electrons and the dielectric strong enough the electrons will slam against a wall and induce a spike in the load circuit which will move electrons in the load circuit without  any current bridging the switch contacts.
    The inertia of the electrons is shed via photon emission as the deaccelerated electrons become subject to the coolumb force and start moving away from each other with a combined frenzied inertial and electric field explosion.  If this explosion is given some guidance then the current reverses and starts heading for the scource.  The oscillations in the conductor ringing down as the electron momentum is lost due to unavoidable collisions with neutrals and ionized cores that have their own kinetic deal going on.  It is these neutrals and ions not in the inertial frame of the accelerated or hot electrons that give rise to resistance.  A vacuum does not have infinite resistance it has infinite conductivity because there aint shit in the way.   The oscillations I mentioned are plasma oscillations. The conversion of photons into plasmons is what Tesla was doing.  Find me a spot where there isnt a photon in the entire Universe.  Number one is that if you are there observing it forget about it your filling that space with photons.  The cosmos seem to be filled with microwaves coming from all directions.  Tesla alluded to these but called them cosmic rays.  There are 5khz radiowaves being emitted by accelerated electrons in one of the spheres.   I guess I need to pick a frequency and an element and start getting some plasma oscillations in a piece of metal.  I believe the electrostatic charge change due to the amassing of or change in electron density can induce currents in observer circuits without damping the electron density waves.

    Mass is not lost from the atoms in the filament  (well sometimes it is sputtered off) because the only thing leaving the atoms is the electron and it goes right back in.  The electron moving produces a moving electric field aka emwave aka photon.  The argon gas just converts a portion of the longer wavelength infrared to visible.  The flurescent bulb is a much better light producer.  It down frequencies ultraviolet instead of up frequency infrared.

Do electrons still have mass when they are not attached to an atom, or in the presence of an atoms force field(s)?

    Ya.  They have mass but they dont have dimension.  Its like an xyz coordinate.  Not like a line or a sphere just a place doing something.
