Year 11 Preliminary Assignment #2 – Physics Electricity in the Home Aim: Will the current (Amps) affect the time it takes for a slot car to complete a lap of the track? Planning the investigation: 1. What do you know about the topic from personal experience? From playing with slot cars and building tracks even before I embarked on the physics course‚ I’d always realised the relationship between the trigger and the speed of the cars. In the investigation‚ I hope to use a more scientific method

of PhilMech and Department of Science and Technology have shared their resources to conduct further research in a process called Ohmic heating. Ohmic heating is an advanced thermal processing method wherein the food material is heated by passing electricity through it. Electrical energy is dissipated into heat which results in rapid and uniform heating to kill pathogens and microbes. Ohmic heating is also called electrical resistance heating‚ Joule heating‚ or electro-heating‚ and may be used for a

which was purposely named after Nikola Tesla himself. The car today is known as the Tesla Roadster. It uses an AC motor that comes from the original one Nikola Tesla made in 1882. Which made this amazing electric sports car more efficient in its electricity usage and shows how Tesla still contributes to everyday lives. The Tesla coil as I mentioned earlier‚ was invented in 1891 by Nikola. Today we mostly use it in our radios‚ TV sets‚ and other electronics. And as for trivia‚ that year was also when

First‚ I screwed a neon transformer down onto a piece of oak. The transformer puts out 12‚000 volts and 30 milliamps of electricity. Second‚ I mounted the steel rods to the piece of oak. Then‚ I wired the two steel rods to the power supply. After that I attached a cord to the other side of the transformer to connect to a power source. Lastly‚ I bent the wires into a V shape

Abstract- This paper describes the control and design of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) using back-to-back PWM converter in wind turbines. A back-to-back PWM converter is used as the excitation power supply for the DFIG wind power generation of variable speed constant frequency. The Simulink model and control strategy of converter which is connected to grid side is analyzed. The grid side converter is used to regulate the voltage of the DC link capacitor. Besides it satisfies the unity power
