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

2. General Electric uses a multifaceted approach to help make them one of the industries leaders in engine production. This approach includes resources both financially and managerially. Financially General Electric has invested $50 million in new engine technology‚ with an additional $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion being required to help them bring new engine designs to the forefront. General Electric has also received a $20 million grant from NASA in order for them to create the first tester UDF

the metric system! Does the United States use the metric system? Nope! America is that stubborn 5 percent that refuses to conform‚ allowing needless mistakes to happen. The metric system was carefully fashioned with a logical‚ systematic pattern; whereas‚ the United States customary system is a hodge-podge system of measurement based off of the old English system. England gave up their antiquated system‚ which was developed without purpose over the coarse of 200 years‚ to conform to the metric system;

We discuss the ‘hard’ effects on GE employees (strategy‚ structure‚ employment‚ rewards) and the ‘soft’ effects (culture‚ work climate‚ indoctrination). In parallel with the French

help the environment and also save lots of money. Electric cars are something everyone should invest in because it saves a lot of money. Many people probably think that it will cost a lot of money because of the installation but in the long run you would actually save more than gasoline does. People can also make it convenient to have a charger installed in their homes so that they don’t have to pay or travel far just to recharge. Using electric cars will keep our environment from being polluted

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
