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

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

The Industrial Revolution of Great Britain The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to the 19th century where major changes in agriculture‚ manufacturing‚ mining‚ transport‚ and technology had a tremendous effect on the social economic and cultural conditions starting in the Great Britain‚ then subsequently spreading throughout Europe‚ North America‚ and eventually the world. Reasons The Industrial Revolution‚ one of the most vital periods of change in Great Britain‚ occurred

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
