Charge

shows that other prisons are charging inmates a certain dollar amount for every day they are incarcerated and additional charges for things such as parole, visitation, and probation. Vega and Rawlings also tell their readers the affects these charges have on inmates post prison. Now there are many other articles just like these two. These two articles show the facts concerning charges inmates have to…

bonds between atoms and contribute to its mass. A scientist by the name of Robert Andrews Millikan won a Nobel Prize for his study and finding of the charge of an electron. His findings greatly helped the scientific community by contributing to the Atomic Theory of Matter, which states that all matter is made out of atoms. Millikan found the charge of an electron by performing an experiment, which we now call Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment. The Oil Drop Experiment was…

There are two main processes as to how surface charges are created: isomophous substitution and dissociation of H+/OH-. An Isomophous substitution creates permanent charges that occur within tetrahedral and octahedral structural units in the clay minerals, via cation substitution. Cations are exchanged with cations of similar sizes but difference valencies. For example, where Al3+ is substituted by Si4+; this creates a net negative charge on one of the oxygen’s, because of the unpaired electron…

The History of the Development of the Four Fundamental Forces Nature has a total of four fundamental forces. The forces include gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between all masses. Every object in this universe is pulling upon other objects. Many scientists came up with logics to explain the science behind gravitational forces. The first one to try was Aristotle in around 330 BC. Aristotle believed Earth and…

What to Do When Your Child is Facing Criminal Charges Youngsters can be hooligans. We all know this. Whether it’s accidentally dinging the car, staying out past curfew, or stealing a few cookies from the cookie jar, kids of any age know how to get into trouble and do the things they shouldn’t. But when their trouble involves law enforcement, that’s when things can get stressful, for you and your family. Juvenile crimes are nothing to shake a stick at. They can result in serious consequences and…

current pulsing through the wire. Electric current is nothing but the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor with respect to time. It is caused by drift of free electrons through a conductor to a particular direction (Electric current). The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field’s direction in a circuit is the direction that positive charges are moving. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite…

The stories Conducting Solutions, Energy Story, and the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits have all helped me learn a lot more about electricity. The purpose of these sources were to help the reader to understand and inform the reader about how electricity is made. It also showed how easy it is to make electricity. These three sources have many differences and similarities but they all serve the same purpose. In the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits it talks about how easy…

What is a circuit? How do they work? An electric circuit is a kind of path made up of wires that allows the flow of electrons. The circuit has to be made in a circular form, as the electrons must frequently move in a full loop, in which they will return to their original position and then complete the loop again. (“What is an electric circuit?”) The battery or another source of power provides the voltage, or ‘electrical push’, that makes the electrons move through the circuit. When the electrons…

positive charge and away from a negative charge. From this, Thomson determined that these little cathode rays (which we now call electrons) had negative charge. Thus, Thomson realized that the currently accepted model of an atom did not account for negatively or positively charged particles, leading to his suggestion of the Plum Pudding model. Thomson 's model of the atom did explain some of the electrical properties of the atom due to the electrons, but failed to recognize the positive charges…

The Atomic Theory states that all matter is composed of discrete units called atoms. The Atomic Theory started in about 400 BCE with a scientist by the name of Democritus. Democritus proposed the idea of the existence of an ultimate particle. He called this particle atomos when he was describing it, because the particle was too small to cut. Next, we get to Leucippus. Leucippus was the man who founded atomism, which is a theoretical approach that states nature consists of two principles, which…
