Turbidity current

permanent magnetic field. The induced field created in the copper coil opposes the permanent one (according to Lenz's Law). These two opposing magnetic fields create the force that resists the rotation of the coils. When the light bulb is taken out no current can flow through the coil (Faraday's Law) so no opposing magnetic field is created. Hot Plate Why didn’t the power you calculated match the power stated on the hot plate?…

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…

These two field magnets always have opposite polarity. On the middle of the motor there is an armature, two commutators and two brushes. When current flow though the two brushes, one of the brushes touches commutator plate 1 and the other brushes touches commutator plate 2. Then the armature A and armature B turn in to field magnets, because when the current flow though iron that coil with wire, it will produce a strong electromagnetic field. This means that armature A and armature B must have…

Nikola Tesla was, in my opinion, a great inventor that could have changed the entire world. Tesla was born in a small village called Smiljan in Austria. After his genious 12-year old brother passed away, Nikola, who was 5 years old, was pressured into studying. He studied chemistry, engineering and philosophy. He later emigrated to the United States of America in 1884, where he was offered a job at the company of Thomas Edison. He quit his job a few months later after a disagreement over his…

sold many patent rights, including those to his alternating-current machinery, to George Westinghouse. His invention the tesla coil that he built in 1891 is still used in radio technology to this day. Tesla eventually died in New York City on January 7, 1943. Tesla didn't get as many patents as Edison did, he only obtained around 300 patents and sold his Alternating Current…

Fry's Electronics, a number of bright bolts just flying rampant. Nikola Tesla has delivered a number of contributions that is still used today. The majority of electric power today has been derived from Nikola. He changed the efficiency of electric current, discovered transmitting and receiving radio signals, created first RC boat, and his most popular invention the Tesla coil. Arriving in the US in 1884 at age 28, Nikola had always has the passion to advance the electrical engineering. His most…

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…

theories that would drastically improve the way of life. He gifted us with the luxury of the Wardenclyffe, also known as the Tesla Coil; it is still used in radio technology to this day. In addition to inventing the Tesla coil he discovered alternating currents and terrestrial stationary waves. Unlike other scientists, Tesla had the belief that science should be free to everyone. Like many other geniuses, Tesla had a few, or could I say many, screws loose. He had the disease known as Obsessive…

6/10/2015 Mrs Rummins | GRUJICIC, Marko Background: Another name for I/V characteristics is current-voltage. Current and voltage are the factors that are being investigated, there characteristics and effects in diodes of different colours. The Current or I in I/V characteristics refers to the flow of an electric charge. It is often carried out by electrons when moving through wires Materials: -green, red, blue, yellow coloured diodes -breadboard -wires - 2X multimeters, 1 as a voltmeter…

“Tesla Electric Company”. Later on, George Westinghouse became interested in the idea of alternating current; as it might be able to provide long-distance energy to the nation. In 1888 he purchased patents from Tesla for a sum of $50,000 in cash. This put Tesla and Westinghouse in competition with an Edison as he tried to sell his direct current system to the nation. This was the beginning of the current wars. In 1893 Westinghouse was powering the city of Chicago and in 1895 Tesla created the…
