    Multimeter: A device used to measure the amount of amperes, volts, and ohms over several ranges of value. Conductor: Object allowing the transfer of electrons Insulator: Prevention of an object receiving an electric current. Resistance: Prevents passage of normal current (light bulb or LED; the object) Parallel: each resistor or light is independent. If one goes out, the rest still stay one. Series: each light is dependent on another one. If one goes out, so do the rest. Scientists discovered…

    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…

    and 1840s by Samuel Morse, assisted by Alfred Vail. Two inventions helped Morse propel his invention to success. First, in 1800, the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) invented the battery, which reliably stored an electric current and allowed the current to be used in a controlled environment. Second, in 1820, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) demonstrated the connection between…

    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…

    The resistors R1, R2, RD, and RS calculated in the Prelab section were used to connect the circuit as shown in Figure 8-5. A load resistance RL of 10kΩ was used. The values of VD, VG, VS were measured and recorded. 3. The voltage vout was measured using an oscilloscope and the voltage gain AVG-D = vout/vin was calculated. The input voltage was adjusted if the output waveform was distorted. 4. The function generator was varied to obtain the necessary data to plot a frequency response curve for…

    Tesla began. That disagreement turned into a full out war Tesla pointed out the inefficiency of Edison’s electrical powerhouses that were up and down the atlantic current. In February 1882 Tesla discovered a rotating magnetic field which is the fundamental principle in physics and the basis of all devices that use an alternating current. As early as 1892, Nikola Tesla created a design for a radio. On November 8, 1898 he patented the radio controlled robot-boat. He used the boat that is…

    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, the man who made our world possible. There are many rumors about whether or not tesla actually created a device that creates Free/Alternative Energy. Nikola Tesla did not create a Free/Alternative energy source because, physics would not allow it, also there is no physical evidence to prove this energy source, and most websites that claim he did are not credible. First, I need to clarify what I mean when I say Free/Alternative energy. Free energy is the creation of energy…

    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…
