Yes, the ruler, which was used to measure the length of the cord and tape, collected data that could be trusted. This is because rulers are manufactured to specifically measure the lengths of objects. Therefore, the units on the ruler are exact, which allows the person carrying out the experiment to end up with precise data. Yes, the power pack which provided volts of electricity for the electromagnet to work, provided the experimenter with trustable data, which was the volts of electricity it…

Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. He married Mary Stilwell in 1871 and they had three children together: Marion Estelle Edison, Thomas Alva Edison, Jr., and William Leslie Edison. Mary died at the age of 29 due to medical complications. Edison later married another woman, Mina Miller in 1886 and they also had three children together: Madeleine Edison, Charles Edison, and Theodore Miller Edison. Edison was a telegraph operator from when he was 15 until he was 22.…

Nikola Tesla was a man of wisdom. The war he had with Thomas edison went on for a long time. Nikola tesla invented the ac, a type of current we still use today. The whole war was over eddison and is dc current. Which means direct current. Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. He was not an american citizen at first. He came from the austrian empire to america. From 1856 to 1867 he was apart of the empire. Then he came to america and became a citizen here. His father was a priest…

Historically for many years, museums have been a center of entertainment, a center for teaching, and a center for enjoying with friends and family the wonderful collections of history. The importance of museums serve as a way to expand curiosity and open opportunities to experience new possibilities and explore the world around us. While most people think of natural history museums as places of public entertainment, the importance of the national museums of history featuring a collection of…

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…

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a technique used to treat psychiatric patients. ECT requires a current of electricity to pass through an individual through their forehead to induce seizures like those of epilepsy. Upon its first introduction into the psychiatric world patients of ECT suffered from fractures while having convulsions onset by their induced seizures. ECT patience’s also are known to suffer from memory loss, as memory loss is one of the main side effects of ECT.…

Thomas Edison and Nickola Tesla were both amazing inventors of the late 19th century/early 20th century. In 1884, Tesla, who was born in Croatia, moved to the United States to work for Edison. While both were great inventors, the two were very different people. Tesla was not a good business man. He invented for the love of innovation. While Edison, in contrast, was an inventor for the business of it. Edison did not just invent a product, he invented a full systems. Each item in his system was…

Lab 2 Summary In this lab, the purpose was to understand how to use a DMM to measure different things like resistances, current, and voltages as well as how to successfully comprehend the electrostatic relationship between various objects. In the first part of our lab we learned how to use a Digital Multimeter by using a simulator to draw diagrams of circuits. This helped give us a basic understanding that when dealing with a circuit and tools like a DMM, you have to connect wires to certain…

priest and his mother was an unschooled but very intelligent women. During school he began experimenting with alternating currents. He was ridiculed in college by his professors for his ideas and dropped out of school. He relocated to Paris to work for the continental Edison company(Bernard 2010). A year late he moved to France where he built the first prototype of alternating current motor. He than approached wealthy businessmen who could afford to fund him but they couldn’t understand the…

These are things you probably use everyday. The inventor of the AC motor and radio was Nikola Tesla. One of his inventions, the Tesla Coil, was used in early radio antennas. He was a brilliant man with a powerful imagination. He won the ‘war of currents’ and made lighting. And this is his story. He was born in July of 1856, in the small town of Gospic. He was named after his father, Nikola Tesla. The last name of the Tesla’s is taken from an ax that has a “broad cutting blade at…
