What is a state as in science?

State in the physical sciences usually refers to whether something is a solid, liquid or gas. Water in its solid state is ice, and in its gaseous state is water vapor (not steam!). The liquid state of water is water! Solid state electronics use various semiconductors in their solid states.

Are there any forms of EMPs that are harmless to humans and other organisms yet still harmful to electronics?

EMP has negligible effect on living things but is easily fatal to solid state electronics. It will perturb but not damage vacuum tube electronics.


What item is not a solid-state component?

A vacuum tube is not a solid-state component. Unlike solid-state devices, which rely on semiconductor materials to control electrical current, vacuum tubes use a vacuum to enable the flow of electrons between electrodes. This technology is largely outdated but was widely used in early electronics, such as radios and amplifiers.

Can you replace an 3 phase solid state relay with a contactor on a 3 phase heater?

Not without other modifications. The circuits used to turn the solid state relay on will not be suitable for turning a contactor on.
