Extended Experimental Investigation Generating Electricity Physics Teacher: Mr Heagney By: Jesse O’Sullivan Background Information: The history of electrisity leads right back to more than two thousand years ago. Ancient Greeks discovered that rubbing fur on amber caused an attraction between the two. Many electricity-related discoveries had been made by the 17th century‚ including the differentiation between negative and positive currents‚ the classification of matireals as conductors

George Westinghouse was an American entrepreneur and engineer. He was responsible for the introduction and development of altering current for light and power. Westinghouse invented the railway air brake and was a pioneer of the electrical industry. He was one of Thomas Edison’s main rivals in the early implementation of the American electricity system. This man founded 60 companies‚ eventually receiving over 100 patents for his work with the desire to turn ideas into enterprises. George Westinghouse

Sir J.J.THOMSOM is to physics what electron is to an atom. He charged the world of physics with his discoveries and gave momentum to atomic physics. Physics is what today because of this British scientist who is regarded as the greatest experimental physicists of this century. A bookseller’s son‚ Thomsom studied at the Owens College and later at the Manchester University. He wanted to become an engineer‚ but his father’s death in 1872 forced him to study Mathematics‚ Physics and Chemistry as he

The picture above shows a typical gel electrophoresis set up. The clear container in the center of the picture is called a gel electrophoresis chamber. It contains the agarose gel that will be loaded with genetic material‚ as well as a buffer solution. It is connected to a DC power supply via electrodes. This picture was taken at Paw Print Genetics laboratory in Spokane‚ Washington. Viney and Fenton (1998) defined the term electrophoresis as‚ “the migration of charged particles through a static medium

Procedure: 1. The compass was placed on the lab table with no magnets nearby to identify what direction was north relative to the classroom. 2. On the ends of the variable gap magnet there were two small magnetic disks. One arm of the magnet was unscrewed and removed from its housing. A meter stick was placed on the and the arm was on its side parallel to the meter stick. The Gauss-Tesla meter was used to measure the field strength of the magnet. The probe attached to the meter was perpendicular
