Lightning - Each bolt can contain up to one billion volts of electricity - Electrical discharge is caused by an imbalance between positive and negative charges in the atmosphere - Colliding particles of rain‚ ice‚ or snow increase this imbalance and often negatively charge the lower reaches of storm clouds - Objects on the ground‚ like steeples‚ trees‚ and the Earth itself‚ become positively charged - A step-like series of negative charges‚ called a stepped leader‚ works

Static Friction INTRODUCTION When an object is placed on a surface it will remain static unless the resolved component of the force due to gravity acting parallel to the surface exceeds the friction force associated with the static coefficient of friction between surfaces by placing various objects on a surface and tilting the surface until the object begins to slip. By measuring the angle at which the object begins to slip‚ it is then possible to calculate the coefficient of friction between

about us and how we identify ourselves‚ throughout the experiences we face in our lives. Identity formation is defined as the combination of personal‚ social and cultural experiences that combine to form an individual’s identity. Identity is not static‚ and never will be; it is the result of continuous interaction with the environment. People in our lives such as friends‚ family‚ teachers and idols affect the way we identify ourselves; they are a big factor in building our personality. Past experiences

Electricity’s impact on Society Electricity has had multiple impacts on society both positve and negative. Electricity has had an effect on everyone in the world‚ even though some people have no understanding or have no use for electricity. For example‚ there are tribes in the Amazon who have never seen a lightbulb who have never beared witness too the heracy of Big brother and yet they are still effected by electricity. The chainsaws which cut down their beloved forests are designed by a man called

Lecture Notes: Basic Electricity Fall 2011 This course module introduces the basic physical models by which we explain the flow of electricity. The Bohr model of an atom – a nucleus surrounded by shells of electrons traveling in discrete orbits – is presented. Electrical current is described as a flow of electrons. Ohm’s law – the relationship between voltage‚ current and electrical resistance – is introduced. Learning Objectives Understanding the basic principles of electricity is a foundational
