Beginning at a stimulus voltage of 0.05 V, the voltage was increased by increments of 0.05 V for each new record. The muscle was stimulated by one pulse in a 625 ms period after an initial 50 ms delay, each record. The minimum stimulus voltage that resulted in a measurable muscle contraction was the threshold voltage. Records were collected until three successive stimuli of increasing voltage did not increase the force generated by the resulting muscle contractions. The stimulus voltage applied…
plane: namely, and arrow of length S (apparent power) that makes an angle ø with the real axis. The angle ø is the same as the phase difference between voltage and current. Therefore the VAR compensation improves the stability of ac system by increasing the maximum active power that can be transmitted. Power is referred as the product of voltage and current.…
In essence, Tesla coils are a high-voltage, resonant transformer circuits. They consist of the six major components (Behrend 1), namely: Primary transformer Tank capacitor Spark gap Primary coil Secondary coil Toroid Figure 1: Tesla coil (diagram) A primary transformer is a step-up transformer that takes the line voltage of the AC source and steps it up to a range between 12 kV and 50 kV at 60 Hz (Johnson 4). The efficiency of this transformer is largely dependable on the construction…
accomplished everyday at the same time the data that has been read off of the multimeter every single day need to figure out which fruit produced the most voltage. Then the next step is to do the same with vegetables and see which once produced the most voltage. Now the person collecting all of the data will need to put both the highest voltage of the the fruits and vegetables together to see which is the highest out of the all together. The fruits used in this experiment in the fruit category…
processes which take place inside of the human body such as the firing of action potentials in neuronal cells in the brain. The research presented in the paper “High-Fidelity optical reporting of neuronal electrical activity with an ultrafast fluorescent voltage sensor” shows just how far brain mapping has come and how far it still has to go before all pathways are truly understood. This paper presents the medical community the opportunity to harness the versatility of Green Fluorescent Protein…
The Tesla Coil is a very enthralling invention created by Nikola Tesla in 1891. The high voltage, high frequency output of the amazing machine can cause strange effects in all sorts of materials. Though not a well known invention, the Tesla Coil plays a gigantic role in television and radio today. How does it work? What materials are used to make it? How can it be used today? And overall who was Nikola Tesla? The Tesla Coil is comprised of the following materials: a chassis, frame, cabinet or…
determine the change in membrane voltage across the cell in different extracellular potassium solutions. The intracellular recording technique consists of puncturing a prepared cell with a conductive pipette. The difference in potential between the extracellular electrode and the wire in the pipette is recorded and displayed on the voltage vs. time graph. Figure 1 provides an example of an intracellular voltage recording trace for a muscle fiber cell. The dip in the voltage graph occurs after…
schematic diagram consists of a torque and flux hysteresis band comparators (T, Ψ), voltage vector sector selection, stator flux and torque estimators (Ψs, Te), induction motor, speed controller, and voltage source inverter (VSI). A.PULSE WIDTH MODULATION It is a commonly used technique for controlling power to inertial electrical devices, made practical by modern electronic power switches. The average value of voltage (and current) fed to the load is controlled by turning the switch between…
6/10/2015 Mrs Rummins | GRUJICIC, Marko Background: Another name for I/V characteristics is current-voltage. Current and voltage are the factors that are being investigated, there characteristics and effects in diodes of different colours. The Current or I in I/V characteristics refers to the flow of an electric charge. It is often carried out by electrons when moving through wires Materials: -green, red, blue, yellow coloured diodes -breadboard -wires - 2X multimeters, 1 as a voltmeter…
preserving conservation of energy (Haug and Nakel). In fusors, this radiation is given off in the visible, x-ray, and gamma ray spectrum and can vary wildly depending on factors such as the fuel being used, the temperature inside the fusor, and the voltage difference across the grids. This radiation also takes away from the overall power of the fusor (Welch et al.). The net power the fusor produces is given by the Lawson Criterion above. In that equation, the power from fusion term is given by …
