i have a steel wool shaped in a circle with ends. i attach two aligator clips to both ends of the steel wool, and the other sides of the clips attached to an AC-generator. i let out 2V to the steel wool for five seconds and it smokes,when however i let out 6V for five seconds the wool starts to burn, then i let out 12V for five seconds aswell and it fully lights up. can u explain in physics terms how was the smoke born, and then how the fire was born. something maybe to do with electrons not getting through the wool, it all maybe building energy in the wool. thank u
