    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 Court also credit him for advancements in radio. Tesla also invented vacuum tubes that paved the way for television and held experiments that helped engineers create the cell phone. Modern electricity makes use of polyphase alternating current (AC).…

    Nikola Tesla, the man who made our world possible. There are many rumors about whether or not tesla actually created a device that creates Free/Alternative Energy. Nikola Tesla did not create a Free/Alternative energy source because, physics would not allow it, also there is no physical evidence to prove this energy source, and most websites that claim he did are not credible. First, I need to clarify what I mean when I say Free/Alternative energy. Free energy is the creation of energy…

    therapy and so I wanted to know more on the topic. The article says that 2/5ths of the patients and relatives primary source of information on ECT, comes from (movies, television, newspapers, books, and magazines). What would need to happen for the current acceptance of this treatment procedure to…

    Tesla began. That disagreement turned into a full out war Tesla pointed out the inefficiency of Edison’s electrical powerhouses that were up and down the atlantic current. In February 1882 Tesla discovered a rotating magnetic field which is the fundamental principle in physics and the basis of all devices that use an alternating current. As early as 1892, Nikola Tesla created a design for a radio. On November 8, 1898 he patented the radio controlled robot-boat. He used the boat that is…

    Background Information Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the build-up of charged particles, either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current (Oxford dictionary, 2015). The effect of electricity can be seen in play daily, whether through a simple light bulb, or a complex application such as providing energy to a power plant. It is often stated that electricity is the most versatile and easily controlled form of energy, and at the point of use it is…

    At this moment, Edison’s dream would quickly become a reality as large cities with power stations began adopting Edison’s DC electrical grid. However, it would take the work of Tesla and Westinghouse before the modern AC/DC current would be created. The alternating current could more easily be converted into high voltages, which are easily transported over large distances with fewer losses due to resistance that occurs naturally in any type of wire. This allowed a smaller number of power…

    for lenders. Additionally, the company’s current ratio, a ratio that divided current assets by current liabilities to show a businesses ability to meet its current obligations, is currently a strong 5.99 (Appendix 1). Also, the current ratio has increased every month for the past seven months (Oct. 1990-March 1991, excel sheet). The current ratio suggests that Dynashears is currently in good financial standing, and that there ability to meet their current obligations is improving. However, there…

    But in Norton’s Theorem the equivalent circuit has a current source and a resistance in parallel with the load resistance (R_X). Continued on next page: HOW IS IT USED When using Norton’s Theorem the load resistance is removed and replaced with a short (wire) and points labeled A and B. The reason to label the points A and B is to show where the meter would measure the unknown voltage and current associated with the load resistance. Next the load resistor is placed into…

    material resists current, and is measured in Ohm-meters (Ω-m). Electrical resistance (R) is the opposite of the flow of electrons, or the passage of an electrical current. Electrical conductivity (σ) is the opposite of resistivity and is measured in Siemens (S). Electrical conductivity is defined as; the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field which causes the flow of current. In this…

    Principle 1: Money has a time value The hypothesis behind money has a time value is the value of money today is more valuable than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity (Titman, Kewon & Martin, 2014, p. 127). If you have a dollar in your wallet today, that dollar will be worth less in a year’s time if the dollar remains in your wallet. Inflation has an effect on the time value as it increases the price of goods and services over time, decreasing the amount of…
