Pickett's Charge

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…

The world that we all know today is going to come to an end! Living with our parents is fun and games now but the moment we step into the real world is an eye opener. We live in a world where almost everything is handed to us, but if you ever thought about it, your parents are the superheroes of the day because they pay for everything; all our clothes, shoes, housing, electronic, etcetera bills. Taking care of yourselves in the real world is not as easy as 1,2,3.…

negatively charged beta particle due to the lack of neutrons to hold the particles together which will, in turn, throw the balance of the particles off making it unstable.Beta particles are shown by the symbol which shows that the beta particle has a charge of -1 this also give it an almost massless effect as well.Beta particles travel at very high speeds almost at the speed of light although it exact speed can vary.Alpha particles have the same structure as a helium nucleus of 2 neutrons and 2…

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…

Imagine a world without electricity, a period of prolonged darkness, not just a brief power outage. Attempt to envision a world where time does not exist. Sounds abnormal, yet for the greater part of human presence, this is the means by which we lived. The sun was the nearest instrument we had to a clock, and it contained all the information we desired. Endeavor to picture a world where there is no such thing as a stove to cook an evening feast for your growing family; no television to watch…

(6) The remaining contribution to the net Coulomb energy comes from the self-interaction of each charge with its own image, which is the so-called “dielectric solvation energy” ()()aaaaHRaaarVrrdrVˆ02ρ∫+=. (7) In above expressions, ()()2rraaℜ=ρ is the electron or hole density, and a = e, h; ()herrW,ˆ is a spherically symmetric component of the point charges direct Coulomb interaction operator, is a spherically symmetric component of the polarization energy operator, and ( herrU…

Many people may ask the question: why study such an exotic sensory system such as the electrosensation in electric fish? Could it be because of the natural curiosity that we as human’s exhibit, or maybe because we are intrigued by the various morphological and physiological adaptations that are seen across a plethora of environments? Well, more evolved organisms have achieved their higher traits not from new mechanisms that spontaneously appeared, but from old mechanisms that they share with…

positive charge. Hence his model was known as plum pudding model. It was also known as watermelon model where the positive charge was the flesh of the watermelon and the electrons were the sects. a) J.J. Thomson who discovered the electron in 1897, proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904 before the discovery of the atomic nucleus in order to include the electron in the atomic model. b) In Thomson’s model, the atom is composed of electron surrounded by a soup of positive charge to…

Intermolecular Forces Intermolecular forces are the result of attractive or repulsive forces between atoms, molecules or ions, primarily as a result of electrostatic attractions; these forces act between discrete molecules. Intermolecular forces are weak forces but without them life as we know it would not be possible: water vapor would not condense into its liquid (or solid forms) if its molecules did not attract each other, and all matter, in fact, would exist as gases. The physical states…

Introduction: In the following experiment, I am going to test whether the copper wire will have less Resistivity (ρ) than the iron wire, and/or the two copper wires connected together. Resistivity is defined as how strongly a particular 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…
