A Battery In A Magnetic Field

[phaeton]

First off, thanks to all who guided me on the prev. topic of battery
combinations for odd voltages. Next, i just have a minor question
probably of little consequence. Might make for a fun discussion,
though.

I'm about to build the small amplifier and mount it with a cheapo 6"x9"
4-ohm speaker in a Rubbermaid storage tub. No I'm not expecting
stellar performance, it's just a "toy" :-D Anyways, while trying to
determine the best place to mount the battery, i took the cheesy route
and just stuck it onto the speaker magnet.

The back of the speaker magnet is not electrically "live" in any way,
and this is a normal-everday 9V. Though the effects are probably very
negligible, what sort of influence on the electrochemical reaction
within the battery would you propose the magnetic field may cause?

Just curious, not important, and thanks always.

Don't sweat it!

Don't sweat what? The battery? The speaker? The asking questions?
Your accusation that i have been smoking Si?

Don Bruder says:

Nothing of any significance at the level of "zoom" you're talking.

Oh I know.... any effect would be completely negligible, particularly
for this application. The clumping and aligning is what i was
visualizing, but i'm sure that the electrons would get pulled out of
this arrangement just the same when I threw the switch and turned the
circuit on.

I thought it was an interesting question

Lord Garth sez:

though most would understand the slightly obscure jest..... Lighten
up!

Of course! My mention of that above was completely tongue-in-cheek
Sorry if i seemed as if i were miffed about it, as that's not the
case... I'm typically easy-going and am quick to enjoy
jokes/puns/humour, etc... (after all, i was talking about eating
capacitors and soldering antidepressants).. It's cool man.. ;-)

car battery on a concrete surface

I've heard this one from a lot of people, but in each case i've asked
why that would happen. Nobody could explain it, they were just
repeating what they had heard. Sure enough, at the service station i
worked at several years ago there was a set of wooden "battery charging
trays" for keeping the batteries off the concrete shop floor while
charging or storing. When we had more than 4 batteries the shop
manager would set the batteries on metal coat hangers, as if the whole
1/8" of *STEEL* would make all the difference in the world....

I always thought this was B.S. but I've never had an otherwise healthy
car battery and properly calibrated concrete surface that i could spare
for a day or so to try it out. I could be wrong....

Hi...

does anyone know where to get the non-hallucenogenic dielectric grease?
I'm serious now, i want to start getting things done for a change...

thanks

Hey you guys....

Is there such a thing as a Monkey Emitting Diode? I flip the power on
and within about a minute i'm buried to my waist in miniature tie-dyed
monkeys.
