The Current

parents would find out so he disappeared to distant family members. His father found out and offered him to start fresh at a new university because he never graduated the last semester. Tesla had a interest in Alternating Current (AC) but also had an idea about how Direct Current (DC) worked but thought that…

To do Cable calculation it has to meet the requirements from BS 7671. Design Current First thing to do is calculate the design current. (Ib) I=Watts/Volts. You do this so you can find out the total current. Apply Diversity Factors (where applicable) Diversity is described in the onsite guide Appendix A as a way to determine the maximum demand for an installation and includes the current demand for commonly used equipment. For example if in a domestic household there were 8 lights on a…

alternating current which means that the current flows in both directions. So instead of flowing from one source to another, the current can flow from both the source and the recipient to each other. AC voltage is the current that comes from an electrical plug. An advantage of AC voltage is the fact that the power of the voltage can be altered with a transformer. Fig.1 graph showing AC and DC current On the other hand DC voltage stands for direct current. This means that the current only…

Conclusions • Current ratio is within the industry’s healthy range but ideally should be over 2. There has been a sufficient decrease in current ratio in comparison to the previous year indicating your business may have problems meeting your short-term obligations. • Quick ratio is below the industry average and decreased from the previous year. The business does not have enough adequate current assets, without inventory, to cover short-term debt. • Inventory…

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 was a powerful scientific mind of the 19th century, specifically, “one of the most outstanding pioneers in the electric power field and in the development of radio” (“Tesla, Nikola”). Tesla began his life as a young Croatian boy, detached from the world, who dreamt of inventing. He later came to America in pursuit of his own American Dream, and in the process paved the road for modern electricity and radio communication. (“Nikola Tesla”). Tesla’s genius ideas are credited to many…

as a classic flysch sequence in a submarine fan setting, dominated by turbidites. Shanmugam and Moiola (1995) reveal contrary evidence for the origin of these beds. They interpret the origin of these beds to be from debris-flow, slump, and bottom-current because slabbed samples from sedimentary features appear “massive” in outcrop, thin sections show variation in vertical grain size, individual units contained in the matrix, and the use of the term “turbidite” in relationship to process…

neighborhood. We can accredit the light source and power we have today to Nikola Tesla. Tesla was a Serbian inventor who came to the United States in order to build off of Thomas Edison’s findings of how light works and establish the idea of alternating current (AC) electrical power. Because of his extensive research and hardwork, Tesla had created a legacy for himself and invented something we still use today in our everyday lives. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. As…

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…

achievement happens with AC or Alternating Current. He has owned the patents for the Alternating Current Induction Motor [2] and other Poly-phase alternating current patents. By the 1890’s Tesla had earned copious amounts of money. However, Tesla was a man with a thirst for experimentation, he set up multiple laboratories where he tried to invent and patent. After…
