Twisted-pair cable is used in telephone lines for voice and data communications. * Coaxial cable has the following layers (starting from the center): a metallic rod-shaped inner conductor‚ an insulator covering the rod‚ a metallic outer conductor (shield)‚ an insulator covering the shield‚ and a plastic cover. Coaxial cable can carry signals of higher frequency ranges than twisted-pair cable. Coaxial cable is used in cable TV networks and traditional Ethernet LANs. * Fiber-optic

II. For my project I used Styrofoam‚ tinfoil‚ insulation‚ silicone‚ and a cork. I used the Styrofoam as a box to put the can in and the Styrofoam also acts as a thermal insulation. I used the tin foil because it serves as an insulator and keeps the radiant heat inside the box. Next I used insulation‚ which does what its name is‚ it keeps whatever inside of it insulated or prevents convection. I used silicone to block off the holes from the Styrofoam to make a good box for the

What is an excition? What are key parameters to describe an exciton? An exciton is a bound state of an electron and a hole in an insulator (or semiconductor)‚ or in other words‚ a Coulomb correlated electron/hole pair. It is an elementary excitation of a solid. A vivid picture of exciton formation is as follows: a photon enters a semiconductor‚ exciting an electron from the valence band into the conduction band. The missing electron in the valence band leaves a hole behind‚ of opposite electric

V (OPTIONAL) Micrometer (OPTIONAL) Modern dry cell construction uses a steel can connected to the positive (raised) contact. The negative connection is the centre of the base with an annular ring of insulator between it and the can. Some cell holders have clips which can bridge the insulator causing a ’short circuit’. This discharges the cell rapidly and can make it explode. The risk is reduced by using ’low power’‚ zinc chloride cells not ’high power’‚ alkaline manganese ones. When using

of atom (acceptor) to the semiconductor in order to increase the number of free charge carriers (in this case positive holes). Band Theory Metals and semiconductors have a unique property that separates them from non-conductive insulators. In metals and insulators‚ the difference between energy orbitals are so small that electrons can be excited from lower energy orbitals to higher energy levels. These small orbital energy differences are referred to as bands. Unlike the discrete energy levels

it charges and discharges much more efficiently. Also‚ unlike a battery‚ a capacitor does not produce electrons; it only stores them. A basic capacitor is made up of two conductors on which equal but opposite electric charges are placed‚ and an insulator‚ which is also called a dielectric‚ separates the two conductors. This dielectric could be made of paper‚ plastic‚ mica‚ ceramic‚ glass‚ or almost any other nonconductive material. Because each conductor stores an equal but opposite charge‚ the

5 Gas Cycles Heat engine or thermal engine is a closed system (no mass crosses its boundaries)that exchanges only heat and work with its surrounding and that operates in cycles. Elements of a thermodynamic heat engine with a fluid as the working substance: 1. A working substance‚ matter that receives heat‚ rejects heat‚ and does work; 2. A source of heat (also called a hot body‚ a heat reservoir‚ or just source)‚ from which the working substance receives heat; 3. A heat
