Disadvantages of Electric CarsAdvantages ~ a safe way to convert fossil fuels into automotive power ~ more efficient than gas-powered vehicles because their fuel can be harnessed from any source of electricity‚ which is available in most homes and businesses ~ the electricity created by electric cars is created by the burning of fossil fuels at power plants‚ instead of in an internal-combustion engine which pollutes the air. ~ the only new system required for electric cars is one that

(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) says Ben Hewitt‚ another advocate of hybrid cars. The hybrid vehicle also does not produce any Carbon-Dioxide from a stop‚ and does not produce any Carbon-Dioxide moving at less than under forty miles per hour. These pros‚ nonetheless‚ are better than a pure-gas engine‚ which compares with an average 21 mpg (estimation courtesy of EPA)‚ and produces Carbon-Dioxide all of the time that it is running. But‚ these pros do not scratch the surface of the pure-electric car and

An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors‚ using electrical energy stored in batteries or another energy storage device. The energy crises of the 1970s and 80s brought a short-lived interest in electric cars‚ but in the mid-2000s a renewed interest in the production of electric cars took place‚ due mainly to concerns about rapidly increasing

In our constant innovation and search for developing better and more efficient ways has finally led us to options. New technology has helped us further advance the automotive industry‚ but hastily neglected the environment. In order to help out with the carelessness of the environment; automotative companies have began creating more powerful and proficient electric and

elGauss’ Law AP Physics C Electric Flux Let’s start be defining an area on the surface of an object. The magnitude is “A” and the direction is directed perpendicular to the area like a force normal. A E Flux ( or FLOW) is a general term associated with a FIELD that is bound by a certain AREA. So ELECTRIC FLUX is any AREA that has a ELECTRIC FIELD passing through it. We generally define an AREA vector as one that is perpendicular to the surface of the material. Therefore‚ you can
