Introduction and Experimental Goal: An electric field surrounds all electrically charged particles. With electric fields‚ one can determine the effects of all of the charges in the environment. In this lab entitled “Electric Fields and Potential Mapping”‚ the main goal obtained was to examine and deliberate the effects of an electric field and electric potential. Examples of some effects of electric fields include resultant forces‚ changes in motion‚ changes in current flow‚ etc. By using conductive

Part 1: What is the relationship between the electric potential at a point in space and the distance from an electric charge? 1) Place a positive 1 nano-coulomb charge on the screen. 2) Turn on “Show numbers” 3) Turn on “tape measure”. 4) Use the tape measure to find and record the distance from the charge to the equipotential sensor. 1.88 m 5) Record the voltage as indicated on the equipotential sensor. 4.1v 6) Change the location of the positive charge to

In this essay I am going to be telling you about to what extent electric cars solve the fuel crisis. The critical steps are: 1. Evolve autos from gasoline/diesel to hybrid to plug-in hybrid. 2. Develop a battery that can run 200 miles on a 10-minute recharge. 3. Strengthen Briton’s electrical distribution system. 4. Recharge cars in garages‚ public places and service stations. 5. Build nuclear power plants to enlarge the supply of electricity. 6. Use all alternate sources of energy‚ i.e. wind

Our Electric Bicycle Project I have added an electric power assist onto a GT mountain bike. With a 3 HP peak motor‚ it is much more powerful than typical electric bicycles. The basic motivation to build an electric bike was to have a fun and efficient and environmentally friendly way to stay out my car for short trips around town‚ and also as a silent trail bike for exploring the hills. I wanted to get some exercise - this bike can still be pedaled. When I first put this together it was even more

Company Analysis of General Electric Running a company often centers on the idea of considering both positive and negative factors in order to then hand down executive decisions accordingly. To best understand the strengths and weakness of any given company‚ one must understand its base operations and the scope of industry in which the firm exists. In doing so‚ one would have a bigger picture of how the company operates and how success has been fostered in‚ as well as highlight in areas in which

Lawford Electric Company – Case Analysis Critical Summary This sale was Lawford’s to lose. Lawford Electric Company’s ongoing‚ 8-year relationship with Bayfield Milling Company‚ coupled with the geographic proximity of the two businesses‚ gave them a competitive advantage upon which they were unable to capitalize. The price tag of the drive system for which Lawford prepared a competitive bid represented more than 17 years of Bayfield’s average annual purchases from Lawford.¹ Sales engineer

Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Vehicles Almost all households in this world uses a gas powered vehicles which causes the greenhouse effect or more known as the global warming. The global warming itself is caused by the emission of the gas powered vehicles. To prevent this‚ technologists have invented a vehicle that uses electricity. Although there are many benefits‚ in a developing countries‚ owning and using an electric car results in having both advantages and also disadvantages.

In electricity generation‚ an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electrons in the windings to flow through the external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump‚ which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine‚ water falling through a turbine or waterwheel‚ an internal combustion engine‚ a wind turbine‚ a hand crank

first applications of electricity was the first incandescent light bulb in around 1870. The electric overhaul of society obviously brought many fresh new dangers with it‚ but it eliminated some of the old ones‚ like the naked flames of gas lighting that was commonly used in homes and factories then. The Joule heating effect that can be found in light bulbs is also present in electric heating. Electric heating has been thought of as wasteful in the past because in order to create that heat energy

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Cars Introduction to Electric Cars An electric car is a vehicle which is driven by electric engines. The engines use electrical energy which is usually stored in batteries. Electric car is a variation of electric vehicle (EV). EV speaks of any vehicles which are propelled by electric engines. “Electric car” is a general term for high-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity. In the United States‚ low-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity
