work with direct current (DC) that still impacts society. Despite this‚ Nikola Tesla has impacted the world through his work with alternating current (AC)‚ which are used to supply power to homes‚ and his creation of the first hydroelectric power plant. Thomas Edison made a monumental impact with his alteration of the electric light bulb‚ although he did not invent it himself. Tesla and Edison raced to prove that their type of current was more effective‚ in the “War of Currents‚” which is still

Current and noncurrent assets There are two main categories that assets can fall in‚ and those are current assets and noncurrent assets. Assets are valuables such as cash‚ inventory‚ trademarks‚ and property. Current and noncurrent assets differ from one another in several ways. The main difference among current assets and noncurrent assets is the time it takes for them to liquidate when needed. The order of liquidity is presented on the balance sheet in the order of the amount of time it takes

DC to AC Inverter Assignment # 2/ Spring 2013 CE721 Ahmad Ghaffari‚ 1203840 Submit Date: Tuesday 19‚ 2013 Abstract DC-AC inverter is a device that converts a direct current (DC) into an alternating current (AC). When there is no AC main power for applications in caravans‚ remote area and etc.‚ this tool is very suitable to use. It mainly converts a DC source (like a car’s battery) to an AC source (230V) to use for power application like

The aim of the investigation is to find out if there is a link between the thickness of a wire and resistance in a circuit. Ohm’s Law: Ohms law uses the formula of dividing the Voltage (V) by the current (I)‚ then whatever the outcome of that is‚ is the resistance (R). For example Voltage = 4‚ Current = 2.65‚ 4÷2.65 = 1.509‚ therefore the resistance (R) = 1.509. We will use this formula in our experiment to find the resistance of the different wires and then once we have 3 different resistances

Nikola Teslas Greatest Inventions Randee Harrison Com/172 March‚ 24‚ 2014 Amy Hankins Nikola Teslas Greatest Inventions Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest inventors of the 19th and 20th centuries. Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan‚ a village in Croatia. This was also where he had attended middle school. Tesla continued his education at the Polytechnic Institute (a college that offered general education courses) in Graz‚ Austria. Tesla later completed his education at The University of Prague

Console is the section of the imaging system that most Technologists are familiar with. It is the Primary side of the main circuit and it includes the incoming current‚ the exposure switch‚ the autotransformer and the primary winding for the step up transformer. Through the Control Console‚ the tech is able to control the x-ray tube current and the voltage so that the useful x-ray beam that reaches the patient has the right quantity‚ or the intensity of the beam and is expressed in mR/mAs‚ and the

for electromagnetism is in electronic motors. The main components are a core rod and many copper wires coiling around the iron rod. The coils rotate around the iron rod because of the magnetic force caused by a certain magnetic field on an electric current. While doing so‚ this turns electrical energy into mechanical energy. When this happens‚ normally a gear is attached to the end of the rod. That Gear is connected to another gear and that can be linked to anything you want to turn. However‚ when you

Questions and Problems: 1. Describe the type of meter movement used in analog meters. The current in the circuit is used in basic meters to measure the voltage drop or current in the circuit. The current passes through the coils of wires‚ which is then magnetized. Inside the apparatus‚ there is also a permanent magnet which opposes the magnetic field of the magnetized coil of wire that is connected to the pointer therefore‚ as we see in meters‚ the pointer moves. There is also a spring connected
