Electricity

In 1856, in the town of Birmingham, one of the biggest industrial revelations occurred. The first man made plastic had been constructed, and it was presented at the Great international exhibition six years later by none other that the man who made it Alexander Parkes. Soon after more information was collected and it had come to the conclusion that plastics were synthetic organic polymers, and the reaction plastic was formed came to be known as polymerization. The word itself derived from the…

Electrical Properties AC Conductivity, Ac Resistivity, Dielectric loss, and Dielectric constant are electrical properties and measured as a function of frequency. AC Conductivity and Resistivity AC resistance (ρac) was recorded by LCR meter model 4275 in the frequency range 1MHz to 3GHz. AC conductivity was determined by using the value of Ac resistance. As we know, Ac Conductivity is reciprocal of Ac resistance can be calculated by the relation; ac =1/ρac (6) The variation of AC…

Introduction: The lab experiment on Fabrication and Microwave Frequency Measurement of a ring Resonators was about finding the relative dielectric constant and the response of a ring resonator. These values are found by using a ring resonator and setting a frequency signal to the ring to resonate the signal. This lab also shows how to make the ring resonators from paper or any type of electric device from fabrication. Fabrication is used to print electric devices such as printed circuit boards.…

Piscine Patel, a young teen from India, has an unexpected journey with failure and accomplishment involved. Thomas Edison, a young inventor from the late 1800’s, went through many struggles and triumphs in his process of inventing the lightbulb. Piscine and Edison both followed a similar path that soon led to them both being successful. As they were working towards that goal, errors, mistakes, and trouble occurred. Trying hard enough should, in the end, led you to success. Thomas Edison and…

Nikola Tesla was an innovative intellectual of the Gilded Age whose ideas were far ahead of his time. The modern world would be nothing like it is today without Tesla’s insights. He revolutionized the scientific community and the world’s knowledge of electric current, but there were plenty of other interesting facets of his life and career. He was much more than an engineer, and unfortunately, many of his peers underestimated him on account of his quirkiness and battle with mental illness.…

Direct Current (DC) motors Name: University 1.0 Introduction A Direct Current (DC) motor is one of the broader classification of electric motors which operate from a direct current. Nearly all mechanical devices applied in daily life activities are powered by electric motors. Motors transform electrical energy to mechanical energy, hence they are essential for energy conversions in electrical machines. All types of electrical motors are made up of a stationary field referred to a stator and…

Honor is to regard with great or respect or to have high esteem for someone or something. My personal definition of honor is to be a productive member in society and to help out others around you. Thomas Edison In 1877 Thomas Edison invented the first phonograph. A phonograph is a sound reproducing that uses cylinders to record sound as well as reproduce sound. In 1879 Thomas Edison built the first commercially practical incandescent light bulb. Edison also introduced the world's first viable…

Let Your NYC Electrician Electrify Your World! You should let your electrician "electrify" your world in a positive instead of negative way. They're the pros you turn to whenever there's an electrical problem in your home that involves more than simply flipping the breaker upwards after it went down or waiting for the brief power outage to finally end. The most delicate of electrical jobs involve the risk of electrocution, so you must never attempt to fix such problems and let a qualified,…

Responsible for the radio, x-ray machine, and many other innovations, Nikola Tesla receives almost no credit for his master mind. Even though he was not recognized for his works, he still kept pursuing his dream primarily to create a better world for man-kind to inhabit. Nikola Tesla, known only as a footnote in the history of engineering, has shaped our modern day interactions by his dedication to doing the “impossible.” How a man is raised will not only impact him, but those who are prominent…

All of these men were American scientist and businessman who helped Tesla advance his research or career. Thomas Edison allowed Tesla to showcase his talent even though he eventually gave him nothing for his work. “Tesla promptly quit and took a job digging ditches. But it wasn’t long before word got out the Tesla’s AC motor was worth investing in, and teh Western Union Company put Tesla to work in a lab..” (King, pg. 2). Tesla’s time with Thomas allowed him to get exposure and move on to…
