and an exhaust tube as well‚ which is a space where air is sucked out of the bulb to create a vacuum. It would also include a glass bulb‚ which is a base to help screw light bulbs into lamps and light fixtures‚ and last lead wires which carry electricity to the bulb from a power plant. (Wallace). If there was a piece of metal in a lightbulb‚ and if energy was passed through it‚ it would become hot enough to glow and then melt. A solution to the problem of it burning is to surround the inside with

belong to a family of doctors‚ my early childhood memories are engrossed with images of patients and of gadgets saving their lives. This environment was a perfect epitome of the enormous power of science and of how science and spirituality‚ like electricity and magnetism are but two sides of the same coin. As I grew up i was infatuated by the constant evolution of technology. I was awed when the desktop computer in my house was replaced by a laptop. The sheer reduction in size intrigued me. The revelation

Electricity is vital to our lives‚ but many people seem to be terrified when it comes to electricity because of the potential injuries sustained from an electric shock. Therefore‚ many people prefer to hire an electrician to do the job. Sometimes a very simple connection can be quite costly‚ like the installation of a light bulb. Well‚ why not try to learn how to do these simple connections by yourself. The importance of knowing these steps is that you save money and‚ time without depending on others

Nikola Tesla: The Spark that Illuminated America Phillip Cherner Morrison: 3 When one thinks of electricity and light‚ one of the first things to come to mind is usually the name Thomas Edison. One man’s name goes unheard though. A man‚ just as influential as Thomas Edison‚ perhaps more so‚ in the electrification of America‚ was the great innovator‚ Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla is a historical figure that goes unnoticed‚ with many

Types of DC Motors and DC Generators MOTORS – convert electrical energy to mechanical energy Motors and generators are the most frequent used electrical machines. ❖ Generators action can take place when and only when‚ there is a relative motion between conducting wires and magnetic lines of force. ❖ Electric motor is in operation when it is supplied with electrical energy and develops torque‚ that is‚ a tendency to produce rotation. ❖ In DC generator‚ the armature winding is mechanically

students have a better understanding of knowledge‚ mechanical and electronics engineers help with the multi-media devices such as projectors and computers so that professors can use PowerPoint and other software. Electrical engineers help with electricity such that students can learn at night. Hydraulic engineers make sure that the water supply is sufficient and sustainable for all students of schools. Without engineers‚ massive education would not be possible all over the world. Not only education
