NOTE: This paper explains the theory and uses of the electric generator‚ and explains the differences between AC and DC generators. It also includes a glossary and a bibliography. --------------------------------------------------- ELECTRIC GENERATORS In its most basic definition‚ an electric generator is a machine that produces electricity. Generators produce almost all of the electricity used by people. They supply the electric power that runs machines in factories‚ provide lighting‚ and operate

pushed away‚ or repelled‚ each other. The evidence showed that electric force made matter either attract or repel other matter. Electric force is caused by electric charge. Electric charge is a property of the bits of matter within atoms. Electric force can cause matter to attract or repel because there are two kinds of charge – positive and negative charge. The effects of electric force can be summarized as the law of electric charge: Pieces of matter with the same kind of charge repel

is to use the electric motor instead of gasoline one. An electric car is a car that powered by an electric motor rather than a regular gasoline engine. There are several major differences between gasoline and electric cars. First of all‚ “the electric motor will replace the gasoline engine” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Secondly‚ “the electric motor is powered by a controller” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Thirdly‚ “the controller gets power from the rechargeable batteries” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). In

organizational structure do you believe is being used to produce Detroit Electric vehicles? Detroit Electric concentrates theirs efforts on research and development of the motor‚ vehicle design‚ marketing and distribution. The company does not produce cars; the actual manufacturing of cars is outsourced. From the case I conclude that technology design is the core business of Detroit Electric. Technology changes rapidly and therefore Detroit Electric has to be flexible in conditions of change and uncertainty

The two most important issues that Lincoln Electric is faced with are as follows. First‚ the inability to meet customer demand because of the shortages in supply creates opportunities for competing firms to enter the industry. What resources and capabilities does Lincoln Electric have that can mitigate this threat of entry. Second‚ the emphasis put on the monetary incentive plan leaves the company vulnerable in economic hardships. How can Lincoln Electric continue to encourage competition and quality

Lincoln Electric How would you describe Lincoln’s approach to the organization and motivation of their employee? I believe their motivation and organization is very one sided. I feel like their motivation is solely monetary based. Their compensation policy motivates workers by paying them based on output but also fosters complacency as they are guaranteed employment. They provide personal feedback based on a merit score but only positive high ranking numbers are rewarded‚ there are no consequences

Why the Lincoln Electric Company is the World’s Best Managed Company The Lincoln Electric company was started by John C. Lincoln with this proprietary design of electric motors in 1895. However‚ the company we know today‚ with their extraordinary compassion for their employees‚ was the brainchild of his younger brother James F. Lincoln and his ability to show that the company cares about people. In the establishing years of James F.’s reign starting in the early 1900’s‚ he instituted a life insurance

point charge q2 = 5.1 μC is located along the x-axis at a distance x2 = 9.3 cm from q1. 1) What is F12‚x‚ the value of the x-component of the force that q1 exerts on q2? -18.57 N For all of these problems we want to make use of the standard electric force equation: ̂ So for this problem with K=9*109 Nm2/C2‚ Q1=-3.5μC‚ Q2=5.1 μC‚ and r=9.3 cm we get F=-18.57 N. It’s important to realize that getting a negative force value means the charges attract. The direction of that attraction is determined
