Mechanism Description of an electric guitar Introduction An electric guitar is a stringed musical instrument played with fingers or a plectrum (pick). It consists of a body‚ a neck and a headstock to which usually six steel strings are attached. The magnetic pickups transform the vibrations of the steel strings into audio signals that are driven through an amplifier. Thus‚ the amplifier is also an essential part of the electric guitar. It was the need of amplified sound

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AND ITS DISTANCE FROM THE CHARGED OPOINT PHYS-232 JIANSONG HE GROUP: Abstract This experiment was performed to find the electric field strength from different distance to the charged point. The field strength was determined statically‚ by measuring its electrical potential when subjected to loading‚ and dynamically‚ by measuring the electrical potential at different location on the conductive paper. The electrical potential was measured from three

Ten years ago our electric motor business was in real trouble. Low labor rates allowed the Eastern Bloc countries to sell standard motors at prices we were unable to match. We had become the high-cost producer in the industry. Consequently‚ we decided to change our strategy and become a specialty motor producer. Once we adopted our new strategy‚ we discovered that while our existing cost system was adequate for costing standard motors‚ it was giving us inaccurate information when we used it to

Most people would say that Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity but really he discovered the relationship between lighting and electricity. Otto Von Guericke discovered electricity in 1660 when he made the first electric generator. Joseph Henry would then invent the electric battery and would change the world. The very first portable electricity. People could power things they couldn’t before. Moving forward Henry Ford would use electricity and the battery to make the first assembly line and
