Solid state physics II Testing a Peltier Element Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the cooling properties of a Peltier element and specifically the relation between the electric current through the element and the temperature in a refrigerator cooled by the element. The “refrigerator” consisted of a cavity in a block of polystyrene foam with the Peltier element covering the opening of the cavity. A fan on top

interest led me to take up Mathematics‚ Physics and Chemistry as my major subjects in high school. As a part of my Physics project‚ I had constructed logic gates and simple latches using basic circuit elements. I was so astounded by the Power of Electrical & Electronics. This interest made me to take Electronics and Communication Engineering. I would like to present my past performance as my credentials for my success in my future endeavors. My innate strength has been my quantitative and analytical

Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity By James Folta Electricity is what we use to power things at home or at school. You can probably look around right now and see an electrical outlet or two. Everything that we plug into one of these outlets uses electricity. But where does this electricity come from? Right now we have a few ways to make electricity. Some are better than others. There are some scientists who are trying to find

Born on November 8‚ 1923 in Jefferson City‚ Missouri‚ Jack Kilby was a determined intellectual. After receiving a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois‚ Mr. Kilby decided to get his M.S. in the same field from the University of Wisconsin. He then began his career in Milwaukee in 1947‚ working in the Centralab Division of Globe Union Inc. "developing

transmission line losses‚ the input impedance of the stub is purely reactive; either capacitive or inductive‚ depending on the electrical length of the stub‚ and on whether it is open or short circuit. Stubs may thus be considered to be frequency-dependent capacitors and frequency-dependent inductors. Because stubs take on reactive properties as a function of their electrical length‚ stubs are most common in UHF or microwave circuits where the line lengths are more manageable. Stubs are commonly used

because with higher temperature‚ resistivity is higher due to the fact the atomic lattice structure increases. Background Electrical resistivity is the measurement of how a material opposes the flow of an electrical current. On the other hand‚ electrical conductivity () is the inverse of resistivity. It is the measurement of how a material accommodates to electrical currents. If temperature changes‚ the resistivity and conductivity will change accordingly. Temperature coefficient of resistivity

the relationship among electric current‚ resistance‚ and voltage. The principle is named after the German scientist George Simon Ohm." Webster’s Online Dictionary. I will be discussing the uses of Ohm’s Law and why it is so important in everyday electrical problems whether it be simple or not. It is everywhere and used by many whether they notice it or not. Ohms law states that current in amperes is equal to voltage divided by resistance. This form of ohms law is most useful for technicians because
