community including the isolation of aluminum‚ he is best known for his discovery that linked electricity and magnetism. While lecturing his class at the University of Copenhagen in 1819‚ he accidentally came upon this connection. Some people say that this discovery was more of an accident‚ than one based upon research and knowledge‚ which may have some truth. In the 1780’s Colomb hypothesized that electricity and magnetism were two very different laws‚ he felt this was impossible. Oersted also studied

one of Thomas Edison’s main rivals in the early implementation of the American electricity system. This man founded 60 companies‚ eventually receiving over 100 patents for his work with the desire to turn ideas into enterprises. George Westinghouse was a highly productive inventor who influenced the course of history by enabling the growth of the railroads through his inventions and by promoting the use of electricity for power and transportation. He was one out of the many famous‚ important and

Performance Analysis of OFDM Systems using Cooperative Diversity Techniques Abstrac t: Cooperative Diversity has been widely used in wireless network‚ and Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a key technique of multi-carrier transmission to meet high data rate requirement of wireless communication. The aim of this project is to combine the technology of OFDM with cooperative diversity techniques. The simulation will be done in MATLAB. The performance of the system will be compared

Electromagnetism is the study of the physical interaction that happens among electrically charged particles. This electromagnetic force is typically apparent in magnetic fields‚ electric fields and sources of light. This electromagnetic force that occurs between particles is one of the four ultimate interfaces in nature. On April 8‚ 1911 in Leiden‚ Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered Superconductivity. Superconductivity is the phenomenon when a material cooled below a certain temperature emits no electromagnetic

Dear Editor: Through your papers I want to draw the attention of concerned authorities towards the worst condition of roads in Karachi. Almost all roads in Karachi are destroyed. This situation of roads is very dangerous for drivers. By this condition of roads loss of expensive vehicles and many horrible accidents are seen. Here no doubt roads are made but it also doomed very soon and the reason behind this is the use of inferior quality of material. Citizens of Karachi pay the vehicle tax

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

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
