The History of Electricity Our knowledge of electricity has started from very humble beginnings when you look at where we are today. Electricity has been around for as long as humans have. When lightning strikes ancient people may not have understood what it was or why it happened‚ but they at the very least witnessed it happen. Nature acted as a sort of catalyst to spark the curiosity of early people. It was only until sometime between 624 BC and 546 BC where an understanding of electricity

AS Level Physics: Terms & Definitions:- Measurement Random errors are errors of measurements that result in a scatter of readings about a mean value. Systematic errors are errors of measurement which occur according to some fixed patterns such that they consistently give out an over-estimation or under-estimation of the true value. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment

Basics of Magnetism by Ron Kurtus (revised 29 January 2013) Magnetism is a force of attraction or replusion that acts at a distance. It is due to a magnetic field‚ which is caused by moving electrically charged particles. It is also inherent in magnetic objects such as a magnet. A magnet is an object that exhibits a strong magnetic field and will attract materials like iron to it. Magnets have two poles‚ called the north (N) and south (S) poles. Two magnets will be attacted by their opposite poles

Early History of Electric Power Date Event Pictures 1800-1819 Early electric experiments were performed with DC. In 1800‚ Alessandro Volta published a description of a silver/zinc battery‚ acknowledging that he did not know how it worked. In 1807‚ Humphry Davy constructed a practical battery (the picture will be immediately familiar to anyone who works with UPS systems)‚ and demonstrated both incandescent and arc light. • Volta’s famous bi-metalic frog twitch (I did this one myself as a boy..

measurement yields consistent stable and uniform results over repeated observations or measurements. Domestic energy and how it has changed * The first sources of electrical energy were batteries‚ which provided low voltage DC power. * Electromagnetism was discovered in the 19th century‚ which ultimately leads to the ability to generate electricity‚ and also to be able to distribute it over wide areas. Thomas Edison in New York in opened the first public electricity utility 1882-marking the

influential‚ in part because advances in its understanding have often translated into new technologies‚ but also because new ideas in physics often resonate with other sciences‚ mathematics‚ and philosophy. For example‚ advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically transformed modern-day society‚ such as television‚ computers‚ domestic appliances‚ and nuclear weapons; advances inthermodynamics led to the development
