When individuals are being considered for our available job openings‚ they go through a selection process to measure their knowledge‚ skills and abilities to determine if they can perform the jobs in a satisfactory manner. It is to the advantage of both you‚ as a job candidate‚ and the company that only those who can perform at acceptable levels be placed on the job. Research has shown that tests provide accurate

Science Study Notes An electrically uncharged object is neutral. Conduction is not a method of charging an object. If electric charged stay in one spot‚ they are said to be static. In charging by induction‚ when a negatively charged rod is brought near a metal leaf electroscope the electrons in the electroscope move away from the rod. A statement that is not part of the Law of Electric Charges is that neutral objects are attracted to uncharged objects. The purpose of a GFCI is to protect people from

Not much over a hundred years ago‚ electricity‚ except in the form of lightning‚ was an unknown force. Its discovery was due to Michael Faraday‚ the great English scientist. On one occasion‚ about 1830‚ he was showing one of his early experiments to a distinguished company at the Royal Institution in London. He showed that when a magnet was brought suddenly near a coil of wire‚ a slight current of electricity was produced in the wire. Afterwards a lady said to him‚ "But‚ Professor Faraday‚ even if

Unit 51: Electrical Technology P1 describe the characteristics and principles of operation of a DC electromagnetic generator. A DC electromagnetic generator produces direct power and also‚ electrical power (just like the AC generator). It is also produced based on same fundamental principle of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic induction where whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux‚ dynamically induced electromotive force is produced‚ and this causes current to flow if the conductor/conductors is

Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction: People are using more and more household batteries. The average person owns about two button batteries‚ ten normal (A‚ AA‚ AAA‚ C‚ D‚ 9V‚ etc.) batteries‚ and throws out about eight household batteries per year. A battery is an electrochemical device with the ability to convert chemical energy to electrical energy to provide power to electronic devices. Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury‚ lead‚ cadmium‚ and nickel‚ which can contaminate

A World Without Power If you can‚ imagine a world without the simple‚ everyday privilege to have electricity in your home. Nikola Tesla is the single person responsible for giving this ability to the common world. Without Nikola Tesla‚ the world would be very different due to his inventions. His contributions pushed the world forward because of his alternating current‚ his wireless‚ and his energy related inventions. Nikola Tesla is not very well known for most of his inventions‚ even though

the traditional way of learning which was to learn completely from books and instead tried investigating and experiments of his own to find out information. He became famous for his experiments with electricity and magnetism which he published books on. William Gilbert first coined the term "electricity" from the Greek word for amber. Gilbert wrote about the electrification of many substances in his "De magnete‚ magneticisique corporibus". He was also the first person to use the terms electric force

Line & Beyond The materials‚ which allow electric current to pass through them‚ are good conductors of electricity. On the other hand‚ materials‚ which do not allow electric current to pass through them easily‚ are poor conductors of electricity. You know that metals such as copper and aluminum conduct electricity whereas materials such as rubber‚ plastic and wood do not conduct electricity. Conductivity of Liquid To test whether a liquid allows electric current to pass through it or not‚ we
