ELECTRICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA

Electric Fruits Project   The purpose of this project was to find out which fruit would generate enough electricity to light a light bulb and to discover which fruit would light the bulb the longest. To conduct my experiments I used a Multimeter, copper and zinc wires & electrodes, alligator clips with leads, various light bulbs and five types of fruits. continue.. Why Do Citrus Fruits Produce Electricity?   In order to generate electricity, there must be a power source and a complete circuit. When using a citrus fruit to create electricity, these rules still apply. In a simple experiment using a citrus fruit, the components of the circuit include: a lemon or other fruit, wire, two different metal elements and a small light bulb. The lemon in this circuit serves as the battery and power source. continue.. Fruit Power Project   Purpose To demonstrate how an electrical current can be generated using citrus fruits (such as lemons or li...

What is Electricity?   Electricity is a general term encompassing a variety of phenomena resulting from the presence and flow of electric charge. These include many easily recognizable phenomena, such as lightning, static electricity, and the flow of electrical current in an electrical wire. In addition, electricity encompasses less familiar concepts such as the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic induction. continue.. Who First Discovered Electricity?   The history of electricity goes back more than two thousand years, to the time the Ancient Greeks discovered that rubbing fur on amber caused an attraction between the two. By the 17th century, many electricity-related discoveries had been made, such as the invention of an early electrostatic generator, the differentiation between positive and negative currents, and the classification of materials as conductors or insulators. In the year 1600, English physician William Gilbert conned the term electric, from the Greek...

Basic Electromagnetic Theory media.wiley.com   Electromagnetic analysis has been an indispensable part of many engineering and scientific studies since J. C. Maxwell completed the electromagnetic theory in 1873.This is due primarily to the predictive power of Maxwell's equations as proven over the years and the pervasiveness of electromagnetic phenomena in modern technologies. Examples of these technologies are radar, remote sensing, geo-electromagnetics, bio-electromagnetics, antennas, wireless communication, optics, high-frequency/highspeed circuits, and so on.  Electromagnetic Field and Forces www.coilgun.eclipse.co.uk   Before we look specifically at the case of the coilgun it will be beneficial to briefly examine the fundamentals of electromagnetic fields and forces. Whenever there is charge in motion there is a corresponding magnetic field associated with it. This motion can take the form of current in a wire, orbital electrons in a molecule or the flow...

AC Vs. DC Electricity www.wisegeek.com   Alternating Current and Direct Current differs in many ways, each have its own advantage and disadvantages. Alternating Current Electricity www.allaboutcircuits.com   Alternating Current Electricity as the name describes is the simultaneous changing of the currents direction. For more info.. Direct Current Electricity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current   Most of the students learn first about direct current principles before the other topics in electrical engineering. Battle of Direct and Alternating Current Electricity www.youtube.com   A short video clip of the history of DC and AC electricity from Youtube. A battle between Edison's DC and Tesla's AC.   

Who Discovered Electricity www.wisegeek.com   How did man first thought about electricity? Thanks to them we have it today. Benjamin Franklin www.ushistory.org   As the man behind it all, how did Benjamin Franklin lived his life. Thomas Edison inventors.about.com   Thomas Edison's greatest challenge was the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't "invent" the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. Michael Faraday www.wikipedia.org    As a great physicist, see how Michael Faraday contributed to the development of electricity. Nikola Tesla www.teslasociety.com   Learn more about man who discovered the rotating field and many other things that was a breakthrough.
