4179 APRIL 6‚ 2010 THOMAS R. PIPER JEFFREY DEVOLDER Jones Electrical Distribution After several years of rapid growth‚ in the spring of 2007 Jones Electrical Distribution anticipated a further substantial increase in sales. Despite good profits‚ the company had experienced a shortage of cash and had found it necessary to increase its borrowing from Metropolitan Bank—a local onebranch bank—to $250‚000 in 2006. The maximum loan that Metropolitan would make to any one borrower was $250‚000

I picked up my pencil- this was not an electrical engineering exam at school: instead of lounging at the beach with my friends‚ I had chosen to spend my summer at Specialised Power Systems (“SPS”)‚ designing and building Mr. Rowleys‘s switchboard. As the engineers and I gathered around and started

Electrical Charges: Electrical charges come as plus or minus. Like charges repel‚ unlike charges attract. Electrons and protons have‚ to fantastic accuracy‚ equal and opposite charges. Quarks have 1/3 the electron charge but are never seen alone! In wires electrons do the moving to carry electrical current. In solutions or plasmas there can be positive charge carriers‚ ions or protons. Although the signal to tell electrons to move in wires travels at about 2/3 the speed of light

based on acceptance of new influences. The Salsa community has the principle of inclusiveness on the dance floor; this is the main reason why Salsa dancing has become so popular. The attitude on the dance floor is always accepting no matter how advanced and intimidating the dancers are. The following excerpt is from an interview with Cynthia Harper a UCLA dance teacher. The Salsa floor is a unique community because there is always someone who will dance with you no matter what your skill level

What is Sea-floor spreading? Seafloor spreading is a process of plate tectonics in which new oceanic crust is created as large lumps of the Earth ’s crust split apart from each other and magma shafts up to fill the gap. Who discovered sea-floor spreading? The man who discovered sea floor spreading was Harry Hess. Harry Hess was a geologist. Part of his mission had been to study the deepest parts of the ocean floor. In 1946 he had discovered that hundreds of flat-topped mountains‚ perhaps sunken

Electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an

Electrical Engineering Work Performed Electrical Engineers research‚ develop‚ design‚ and test electronic components‚ products‚ and systems for commercial‚ industrial‚ medical‚ military‚ and scientific applications (Cosgrove 749). They are concerned with devices that use small amounts of electricity that make up electronic components such as integrated circuits and microprocessors. By applying principles and techniques of electronic engineering they design‚ develop‚ and manufacture products
