[Phys-L] Re: Electromagnetism is Only a Theory!!!



and so do Mormons.

"The person against who ..." whom?

bc, completely immersed when he was, twelve?


p.s. thinks it depends on which convention, and yes I don't think the
victim pastor was concerned about E-M theory, etc. Furthermore, this
may illustrates a lack of training on the part of the audience. Could
not one of the many in the audience ripped away mich. and done
resuscitation? No defibrillator handy? Incomplete story.

p.p.s make that a cold one (the hot is isolated at the heater to prevent
electrolysis), and the cold might be no better, as it may include
schedule 40 PVC for the buried section to the meter. A stake thru the
heart ... aaaa, ground is the only reliable method w/ o testing.

The person against who this story reflects is the engineer who designed the
sound mixer/ mike amplifier. This is far from the first mike death - pop
groups
see a steady loss from electrocutions.

It is possible to make microphones completely safe, and physics teachers
who play in pop groups might be advised to touch a microphone to a copper
water pipe or other assured ground before each gig.

I think your post was in poor taste. Are you so against fundamentalists
that you are willing to use their death as a cheap opportunity to make a
point?

WACO, Texas - A pastor performing a baptism was electrocuted inside h=
is
church Sunday morning after adjusting a nearby microphone while stand=
ing
in water, a church employee said.

The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was stepping into the baptistery as he reache=
d
out for the microphone, which produced an electric shock, said
University Baptist Church community pastor Ben Dudley.

Water in a baptistery usually reaches above the waist, said Byron
Weathersbee, interim university chaplain at Baylor University.

Lake was pronounced dead at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, nursing
supervisor Pat Mahl said. The woman being baptized apparently had not
stepped into the water and was not seriously injured.

Pastors at University Baptist Church routinely use a microphone durin=
g
baptisms, said Jamie Dudley, the wife of Ben Dudley and a business
administrator at the church.

"He was grabbing the microphone so everyone could hear," she said. "I=
t's
the only way you can be loud enough."

About 800 people attended the morning service, which was larger than
normal because it was homecoming weekend at nearby Baylor University,
Dudley said.

Lake had been at the church for nine years, the last seven as pastor.=
He
had a wife, Jennifer, a 5-year-old daughter and two 3-year-old sons.

At a remembrance attended by about 1,000 people Sunday night at First
Baptist Church, Ben Dudley told the UBC congregation that they would
move forward as a church.

"I don't know how, when, why, where or what's going to happen, but we
will continue as a church in the community because that is what Kyle
would have wanted," he said.
