Neither photon 1 nor photon 2 is in a definite polarization state when the pair is in the state | Ï, but their potentialities (in the terminology of Heisenberg 1958) are correlated: if by measurement or some other process the potentiality of photon 1 to be polarized along the x-direction or along the y-direction is actualized, then the same will be true of photon 2, and conversely.

The point of contact of the wheel r or any point of the carriage C will therefore always move in a direction making an angle [phi] with the axis of x, whilst it moves in the x-direction through the same distance as the point B on the y-curve -- that is to say, it will trace out the integral curve required, and so will any point rigidly connected with the carriage C.

To determine the x - and y-component of the force notice that o ne charge exerts a force in the x-direction only, one charge exerts a force in the y-direction only, and one charge exerts a force that needs to be broken down into x and y components.
