CHAPTER 1 Overview of Current Account Balance * Introduction: The current account is the difference between exports of goods and services and imports of goods and services. If we denote the current account balance by CA‚ we can express this definition in symbol as CA = EX – IM The current account balance is one of two major measures of the nature of a country’s foreign trade (the other being the net capital outflow. A current account surplus increases a country’s net foreign assets by the

Batteries‚ Resistance and Current “Battery-Resistor”: Check “show battery” and “show cores”‚ watch what happens‚ adjust some variables 1. Why do electrons (blue dots) move? Draw a diagram of the battery‚ label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. The electrons move because of the battery voltage. The current flows in the opposing direction of the electrons and the electrons flow towards the positive

non-technological factor to shape electricity was the business- and competition-fueled "War of Currents" of the late 19th century between alternating and direct current AC and DC‚ respectively ("Electricity‚" 2006). During the initial years of electricity distribution‚ Thomas Edison ’s direct current was the standard for the United States‚ and Edison was not disposed to lose all his patent royalties. Direct current worked well for the incandescent lamps that were the principal load of the day. However

In his story of the Rip Van Winkle‚ Irving used his unique style of diction‚ which also developed a contrast between before and after the climax of the story. The major change of scene in the story takes place after Rip takes his nap in the mountains and there is a noteworthy change of Irving’s diction from this point onwards. In his description of the surrounding nature and the weather‚ a distinct contrast exists between the duration of twenty years. The Kaatskill Mountain is the first feature

Magnetic effect of electric current is one of the major effects of electric current in use‚ without the applications of which we cannot have motors in the existing world. A current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it‚ which can be comprehended by using magnetic lines of force or magnetic field lines. The nature of the magnetic field lines around a straight current carrying conductor is concentric circles with centre at the axis of the conductor. The direction of the magnetic field
