    free electrons. Copper has one free electron per atom. The free electron concentration in copper is 8.5 x 1028 per m3. The electrons start flowing as soon as the switch is closed. But the electrons themselves travel much more slowly. So how does the current come on everywhere as soon as the switch is closed? It is because the free electrons are already spread throughout the wire. As soon as the switch is closed, there is a force on all electrons (i.e. electric potential difference) which causes…

    The Spirit Phone After the carnage of World War I, spiritualism was undergoing a revival, and many people hoped science could provide a means to contact lost loved ones. Edison himself was not a believer and admitted he had no idea if a spirit world even existed. Edison corresponded with British inventor Sir William Crookes, who claimed to have captured images on "spirit photographs." Edison was intrigued. Edison took the idea of the telephone and the telegraph a bit further and announced in…

    Tesla and Edison During the late 1890s the inventions of two great minds, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, helped turn electricity from a scientific concept into a household amenity. In this paper, I will review both of these men’s lives, give an overview of their accomplishments, and go over how these accomplishments still have an impact today. Nikola Tesla was born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. A bright child with an almost photographic memory and an aptitude for problem-solving, Tesla…

    Galvanism is animating a dead corps by electrocution throughout the body. Luigi Galvani was not the first person to think of pulsing electricity through the body, but he was the person who determined that electricity was present within the body itself. The electricity animates the dead body and causes it to move through muscle movement. Luigi Galvani founded this idea in 1791. Genetic engineering is a variety of techniques that cut up and combine different genetic material to create or change a…

    Problem: The research questions being examined in this investigation is, How can we generate electricity by using Potatoes to light an electric bulb? Background Information: How does a potato battery work? The copper (Cu) particles pull in electrons more than the zinc (Zn) molecules. On the off chance that you put a portion of copper and a piece of zinc in contact with each other, numerous electrons go from the zinc to the copper. As they focus on the copper, the electrons repulse each other.…

    *** Luigi Galvani used an electrostatic machine that produced sparks on frog legs and began to investigate the muscular contractions produced by electricity. Galvani discovered that the frog leg would contract if a scalpel touched the frog’s nerves when the machine was on.
 More comprehensive experiments by Galvani showed that a dead frog’s leg could be made to twitch by electrical stimulation. Galvani also showed that the same twitching could be produced by touching the leg with a copper hook…
