What is Electricity? Electricity is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. As a matter of fact‚ it can even kill you. The most vital part of electricity is called electric energy. This is what we commonly think of when we hear the word electricity. “Electricity” reminds us of anything that we plug into an electrical outlet in order to make it work‚ such as lights‚ refrigerators‚ video games‚ microwaves‚ and computers. Scientists discovered ways to produce electric energy in large amounts

Electricity and magnetism run nearly everything we plug in or turn on. Although it’s something we take for granted‚ it has taken hundreds of years of experimentation and research to reach the point where we flick a switch and the lights go on. Ancient Greeks knew rubbing amber generated static electricity‚ but they didn’t know why. The Greek word for amber is elektron. People knew about electricity for a long time. Ancient Greeks noticed that if they rubbed a piece of amber‚ feathers would

The Maxwell equations Introduction:- One of Newton’s great achievements was to show that all of the phenomena of classical mechanics can be deduced as consequences of three basic‚ fundamental laws‚ namely Newton’s laws of motion. It was likewise one of Maxwell’s great achievements to show that all of the phenomena of classical electricity and magnetism – all of the phenomena discovered by Oersted‚ Ampère‚ Henry‚ Faraday and others whose names are commemorated in several electrical

ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field. It is described mathematically by Faraday’s law of induction‚ named after Michael Faraday who is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831. Electromagnetic induction was discovered independently by Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry in 1831; however‚ Faraday was the first to publish the results of his experiments.[4][5] In

Chapter I I. Introduction Power electronics converters can be found wherever there is a need to change voltage‚ current of frequency of electric power. The power range of these converters is forming some mill watts (as in mobile phone) to thousands of megawatts in an HVDC transmission system. With classical electronics‚ electrical currents‚ and voltage are used to carry information‚ where as with power electronics‚ they carry power electronics becomes the efficiency An inverter converts DC
