Electricity Essay

Jessica Vandeventer 16 March 16 Static Electricity or Electrostatics Purpose/Question- The purpose of this experiment it to explore static electricity and to explore how charges effect one another. Hypothesis– Any like charges will repel each other and any unalike charges will be attracted to each other. Data Tables/ Graphs – Charging Material Pepper Salt Paper Aluminum Styrofoam Uncharged Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Cotton Nothing Nothing Stuck to ruler Stuck to ruler Nothing Fur…

enough power to create electricity This question can help save electricity and offer a new way to conduct power. It is also an interesting topic to test on. The hypothesis states that different produce can conduct enough power to create electricity, because Zinc and Copper (the two elements I am testing) have a certain relationships with one another. Zinc gives its electrons to the copper, which uses the electrons to make a hydrogen gas. Section 1 Important words/phrases Electricity is created…

heating in houses and unsanitary environments. Because of electricity, things such as refrigeration, air conditioning, and indoor plumbing are now able to function. Due to electricity, people no longer have to make tiresome trips to the cellar everytime they want something to eat- nor worry about food frequently spoiling. People can now stop stressing about not being able to afford delivered ice to their homes to keep their food cool. Electricity makes this possible due to Refrigeration. This…

American history misrepresents the origins of modern electricity and radio. Thomas Edison is often credited with sparking the Electrical Revolution that led to the electrical systems in place today, and Guglielmo Marconi for advancements in radio technology, but both of these claims are misleading. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-born immigrant, holds over 40 U.S. patents for advancements in alternating current technology, the type of electricity most used today. The U.S. patent office and U.S. Supreme…

the main organs that electricity can really harm is the heart. The heart can become ‘frozen’ or fibrillated. If the heart is frozen there is a greater chance for it to return to normal beating rather than if it was fibrillated. In the case of fibrillation the heart’s muscles can all move at once and be all over the place. The heart won’t be able to function as normal. Current approaches 100milliamps or more can be fatal. The skin will result in numerous burns from the electricity and there could…

ALTERNATE ENERGY GENERATION REPORT: SOLAR, HYDROELECTRICITY, WIND The world is constantly revolving around energy, as the population of the earth grows; the demand for electricity significantly increases as well. As society has evolved, technology has also evolved, becoming more focused on luxurious electronic items while also emphasizing a "greener" earth in the form of alternate energy sources. While these alternate energy sources have some obvious benefits, there are also some significant…

Imagine life without light. Imagine coming home at night and being unable to turn on a lamp or not having street lights in the neighborhood. We can accredit the light source and power we have today to Nikola Tesla. Tesla was a Serbian inventor who came to the United States in order to build off of Thomas Edison’s findings of how light works and establish the idea of alternating current (AC) electrical power. Because of his extensive research and hardwork, Tesla had created a legacy for himself…

Andie McLeod 10/31/17 Davis P 3 Xtra Credit Report Rough Draft Thunder and Lightning. Used in the oldest of stories to express the great power of the gods, the existence of thunder and lightning has been around forever. Regardless there were no letters or primary documents of the event, we are all familiar with the story of the “kite and the key”, the Great Benjamin Franklin experiment which is responsible for the discovery of the properties of lightning, regardless he was not the first to…

know how a blender works but in reality they only know the very basic parts of how one turns electricity to blended smoothie goodness. In this article one will learn how the Hamilton Beach 12-speed 52254 operates in part by part sections that will take the reader from how the electricity enters the machine to how the food gets blended into a delicious concoction. The power cord transports electricity to the motor which is then regulated by the circuit board and buttons to blend and…

bulb. Tesla worked under Edison as his apprentice when he was working on the light bulb. While Tesla was under Edison, JP Morgan was trying to find an industry that he could rise from the ground, and that's when he found Edison with electricity and the light bulb. JP Morgan went against everything his successful father ever told him when he took the risk of financially helping Edison. After Tesla pitched his idea of the AC light bulb to Edison over and over again he finally resigned.…
