Electricity

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 it is to make electricity with things you probably have in your kitchen. Annmarie…

Electricity wasn’t invented it is already occurred in the nature. It was just discovered by Benjamin Franklin. His experiments (famous kite experiment) helped in building the connection between the electricity and lightning. In his experiment with kite included a kite with the key tie to the end of kite, which is connected to the Leyden jar. When the lighting struck the kite, the electric current travel down the string through the key and into the Leyden jar. We wonder that “what is there in…

The main parts of a flashlight include: • Batteries: The source of power for the light bulb. • Switch: Allows the flow of electricity when on. When off, the circuit is broken and there is no flow of electricity. • Light bulb: The source of light in a flashlight. The light bulb can either be a tungsten filament or a light emitting diode (LED). When electricity flows through the tungsten filament or LED, they lit up, which produces light. • Contacts: A very thin piece of metal that is found…

own life. Benjamin Franklin’s work with electricity only 66 years earlier had filled society with excitement over the possibilities for its uses, including the potential to re-animate the dead. Mary Shelley 's past was filled with death; losing three children, a stepsister, and her mother. Victor Frankenstein combined these two influences to fight death with electricity, and brought Frankenstein 's monster to life. Although he did not discover electricity, that honor goes to William Gilbert;…

Realschule, Karlstadt in 1873. He also went to two different colleges named the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria and the University of Prague. He first wanted to specialize in physics and mathematics but then he became very fascinated with electricity. He began a career as an electrical engineer with a telephone company in Budapest in 1881. There he discovered the solution to the rotating…

Nikola Tesla was an interesting scientist and ahead of his time. Nikola Tesla lived to be 86 years old. He was born on July 9 or 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Australia-Hungary. Tesla died of coronary thrombosis which is a blood clot in the flow of blood to the heart. Nikola Tesla died on January 7, 1943. He died at the age of 86 in New York City. He didn’t have any kids or a wife. Nikola Tesla’s inventions were he discovered the electric alternating current that is still used today. In 1891 Tesla…

he was very interested in mechanics and electricity. As he grew up, he was mesmerized with the hand-cranked telephone Thomas Edison had made and hand-cranked phonograph that Alexander Graham Bell had made. They were his new heroes. Trying for a better life, the Farnsworth family moved from Utah to Idaho. Philo had observed that his parent’s home was wired for electricity! He also scrutinized that the attic contained magazines about magnetism, electricity, radios, and a television, an invention…

on the standard of living today. From the time of Edison and Tesla, the use of electricity has been taken to completely different levels and it can be seen all around us. I believe that Nikola Tesla has had a larger impact on the science world than Edison has. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. Because his mom was an inventor of household appliances, he began to find an interest in electricity when young. Even though, he was encouraged by his father into priesthood,…

saying how energy is used everywhere in our lives and most of the appliances we use today would be useless without energy. They then begin to explain atoms and how they have to do with electricity. “Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another. When those electrons move between the atoms, a current of electricity is created.”(Energy story, paragraph 11) this quote shows the reader that energy is like an infinite chain that is practically always moving energy along from one atom to the…

very dependent on electricity. The work they do consist of climbing poles, fixing lines that are down, and replacing old poles. The wages of a regular electrical lineman is 31.19 per hour and there being a minimum of 2,080 hours per year which adds up to about $64,875. Then you have journeyman lineman they make a little more they earn about on average 39.43 per hour which is about $82,014 a year. Being a lineman is very stressful, it requires a lot of late night fixing electricity in a storm.…
