Electric Granulation
Posted on August 6, 2018 by B Talbott
I do not follow the location of the Anode and/or the Anode Tufts.Known as “granulation”, it is where dense anode tufting is seen. The Sun’s chromosphere can be likened to the region just above a gas discharge tube’s positive electric terminal, similar to what is seen in a neon lamp.
Close to the surface of the energizing anode, there is a brighter glow than what is produced by the electrically excited gas within the lamp. That brighter glow corresponds to the chromosphere, just above the Sun’s photosphere, which can be thought of as the anode surface. When electric charge density exceeds the containment ability of the anode surface, a secondary plasma forms. That is the aforementioned anode tufting. The characteristic pattern of granulation on the Sun forms because tufts are packed together so tightly
The granulations are called the anode AND the tufts.
So are they both?
If the granulated photosphere is the "Tufts....packed together"
Where, and what is the anode ?
As I have posted elsewhere, use of a standard electric "circuit" to describe our solar system is problematic.
