NOTE: This paper explains the theory and uses of the electric generator‚ and explains the differences between AC and DC generators. It also includes a glossary and a bibliography. --------------------------------------------------- ELECTRIC GENERATORS In its most basic definition‚ an electric generator is a machine that produces electricity. Generators produce almost all of the electricity used by people. They supply the electric power that runs machines in factories‚ provide lighting‚ and operate

is to use the electric motor instead of gasoline one. An electric car is a car that powered by an electric motor rather than a regular gasoline engine. There are several major differences between gasoline and electric cars. First of all‚ “the electric motor will replace the gasoline engine” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Secondly‚ “the electric motor is powered by a controller” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Thirdly‚ “the controller gets power from the rechargeable batteries” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). In

Why is the Pacific Ocean unsafe? In 2011‚ Japan suffered a major travesty due to the 9.0 magnitude earthquake‚ and tsunami that followed soon after. However‚ during that earthquake and tsunami‚ a nuclear power plant known as Fukushima Daichii was hit‚ and exposed to the community. Being exposed to a nuclear power plant is extremely harmful because of the symptoms that may occur from it‚ due to radiation. According to the 2013 edition of the Encyclopedia‚ radiation is a‚ “flow of atomic and subatomic

point charge q2 = 5.1 μC is located along the x-axis at a distance x2 = 9.3 cm from q1. 1) What is F12‚x‚ the value of the x-component of the force that q1 exerts on q2? -18.57 N For all of these problems we want to make use of the standard electric force equation: ̂ So for this problem with K=9*109 Nm2/C2‚ Q1=-3.5μC‚ Q2=5.1 μC‚ and r=9.3 cm we get F=-18.57 N. It’s important to realize that getting a negative force value means the charges attract. The direction of that attraction is determined

Chapter 1 The History of Electric Transformer INTRODUCTION: Transformer is a device that transfers electric energy from one circuit to another‚ usually with a change in voltage. Transformers work only with a varying electric current‚ such as alternating current (AC). Transformers are important in the distribution of electric power. They raise the voltage of the electricity generated at a power plant to the high levels needed to transmit the electricity efficiently. Other transformers

Thesis Statement: INTRODUCTION Attention Material: Have you ever heard of ALS‚ better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease? For many people‚ ALS is a disorder that they may not know much about. I never heard of it either until my father was diagnosed with this disease in 2006. Because there is no known cure‚ it is important
