Jessica Vandeventer 16 March 16 Static Electricity or Electrostatics Purpose/Question- The purpose of this experiment it to explore static electricity and to explore how charges effect one another. Hypothesis– Any like charges will repel each other and any unalike charges will be attracted to each other. Data Tables/ Graphs – Charging Material Pepper Salt Paper Aluminum Styrofoam Uncharged Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Cotton Nothing Nothing Stuck to ruler Stuck to ruler Nothing Fur…

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a technique used to treat psychiatric patients. ECT requires a current of electricity to pass through an individual through their forehead to induce seizures like those of epilepsy. Upon its first introduction into the psychiatric world patients of ECT suffered from fractures while having convulsions onset by their induced seizures. ECT patience’s also are known to suffer from memory loss, as memory loss is one of the main side effects of ECT.…

Thomas Edison and Nickola Tesla were both amazing inventors of the late 19th century/early 20th century. In 1884, Tesla, who was born in Croatia, moved to the United States to work for Edison. While both were great inventors, the two were very different people. Tesla was not a good business man. He invented for the love of innovation. While Edison, in contrast, was an inventor for the business of it. Edison did not just invent a product, he invented a full systems. Each item in his system was…

Lab 2 Summary In this lab, the purpose was to understand how to use a DMM to measure different things like resistances, current, and voltages as well as how to successfully comprehend the electrostatic relationship between various objects. In the first part of our lab we learned how to use a Digital Multimeter by using a simulator to draw diagrams of circuits. This helped give us a basic understanding that when dealing with a circuit and tools like a DMM, you have to connect wires to certain…

priest and his mother was an unschooled but very intelligent women. During school he began experimenting with alternating currents. He was ridiculed in college by his professors for his ideas and dropped out of school. He relocated to Paris to work for the continental Edison company(Bernard 2010). A year late he moved to France where he built the first prototype of alternating current motor. He than approached wealthy businessmen who could afford to fund him but they couldn’t understand the…

These are things you probably use everyday. The inventor of the AC motor and radio was Nikola Tesla. One of his inventions, the Tesla Coil, was used in early radio antennas. He was a brilliant man with a powerful imagination. He won the ‘war of currents’ and made lighting. And this is his story. He was born in July of 1856, in the small town of Gospic. He was named after his father, Nikola Tesla. The last name of the Tesla’s is taken from an ax that has a “broad cutting blade at…

Tesla, born July 9/10/1856, Smiljan, Austrian Empire (Croatia) Died January 7-1943, New York, U.S. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American Inventor and engineer who discovered and patented the rotating magnetic field the basis of most alternating-current machinery. Sadly few people recognize his name today, and even among those who do, the words Nikola Tesla are likely to summon up the image of a crackpot rather than an authentic scientist. Nikola Tesla was the greatest inventor the world has…

“I don’t care that they stole my idea, I care that they don’t have any of their own” (Tesla). Those words and many more were uttered from the great master mind that is Nikola Tesla. Born in 1856, the Serbian-American resident of the town of Smiljan, which is in present day Croatia, was set on track for greatness. His father, a humble priest, however, his mother had a crafty hand for household tools and mechanical appliances which may have played a great influence on Tesla’s future creative…

Nikola Tesla was a great inventor from Smiljan, Croatia.He made many great inventions during his time here in the United states.Tesla studied math and physics at the Technical University of Graz and philosophy at the University of Prague. From there on he made many inventions that has given him a reputation that would later catch Tomas Edisons eye in many years to come. At one point Edison told Tesla he would pay $50,000 for an improved design for his DC dynamos. Tesla never got paid that money…

Tesla was born on July 10,1846 and died January 7,1943. Tesla died from a disease called Coronary Thrombosis The disease causes clots in the blood vessels in the heart it is classified as a type of ischemic heart disease aka heart attack. Tesla grew up in a family of five children which included himself and his siblings Dane, Angelina, Milka and Marica. Tesla's interest in electrical invention was caused by his mother inventing small household appliances in her spare time while her son was…
