network for supplying this electrical power is known commonly as the National Grid. The National Grid is an electric power transmission network which connects the substations and power stations. This is so that any electrical energy generated in Great Britain‚ can be utilized and help meet energy demands elsewhere. This grid system also includes interconnections that run under the sea to Northern Ireland HVDC Moyle‚ the Isle of Man and France HVDC Cross-Channel. The electrical energy generated for the

Electrical Conductance and Insulation OVERVIEW: Every thing in the world is differentiable on the basis of its electrical conductance. Some things are called insulators and these substances never conduct electricity. they include things such as cold air‚wood and plastic. Then there are things that conduct electricity and current flows through them‚ they are called conductors. examples of conductors are most metals like copper and steel. Other materials that are sometimes used as conductors are

Refractive index measurement is actually a measurement of the speed of light in a medium. The speed of light (usually denoted by c) is 299 792 458 m/s in vacuum. In other media the speed of light is lower than this value‚ and the refractive index‚ R.I.‚ of a medium is a measure of how much the speed of light is reduced in the medium. The refractive index (n) of a medium is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum (c) in to that in the medium (v) The speed of light in a medium depends on
