It's the same as an electro-magnetic in that energy is moved. Two oppositely charge and attracted objects accelerating toward each other cancel each others E-field. So the E-field energy is moved to KE. Regards, Paul Lowrance ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never Miss an Email Stay connected with Yahoo!
