SEMICONDUCTOR a solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals‚ either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors‚ notably silicon‚ are essential components of most electronic circuits. 1. A semiconductor is a material which has electrical conductivitybetween that of a conductor such as copper and that of an insulatorsuch as glass. semiconductor is a material whose electrical conductivity is

Being an electricianis pretty easy because in William M.Davies‚ Jr.Career and Technical high school has taught me many ways in helping me to be an electrician.

magic. You light up your lamp by some unknown energy. All you have to do are to think about it and it happens and you wonder how. By elementary school you know you have to switch on the power to light up but how does that fluorescent lamp uses electricity to exite mercury vapor and why does it produce visible light when I turn on the power? By high school you have a basic understanding of electrons and energy conversion but how are these construction and what is energy of conversion that electrical

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

In the long term‚ however‚ the hall office is likely to increase dormitory fees to cover the increase in electricity expenses. It turns out that all residents work on their own future disadvantage. People waste electrical energy because they believe others are also doing so. Similarly‚ if these people come to know that others are contributing their effort to

which is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by Tesla in 1891. It is used to produce high-voltage‚ low-current‚ high frequency alternating-current electricity. Tesla arrived in the United States in 1884. At the age of 28‚ and by 1887 had filed for a series of patents that described everything necessary to generate electricity using alternating current‚(AC) He created the A/C electric motor‚ which was pretty much the generator in reverse‚ was his most practical invention.

experiment is investing how length of an object is affected be the resistance. The electrons move away from the individual atoms of the wire when there is a electricity flow. This will cause a decrease in the speed at which the electrons move which then in matter of time‚ the electrons eventually stop. When electrons move through a conductor‚ electricity flows‚ which illustrates the moving of electrons in the wire which collide with the ions in the metal. This then makes it more difficult for the current
