Is Electricity A Large Amount Of Curiosity?

In the article "Energy Story". I learned that electricity figures are everywhere and where electricity comes from. Did you know that electricity comes from atoms? atoms are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Nevertheless, electrons contain negative charge, protons are positive and neutrons are neutral, I also learned that a charged atom is called an ion.

Tesla coils have been seen in popular culture, whether viewers are aware of the fact that they are coils or not. David Bowie played as Tesla in the movie The Prestige from 2006. "The Great Danton," one of the characters in the movie, attempts a transporting trick that involves walking under a giant electrical machine with a Tesla coil and then disappearing through a trapdoor. The Fallout video game franchise depicts an alternate universe that contains the idea of Tesla's creations all succeeding, and in Fallout 3, there is a series of missions that include the task of retrieving Tesla coil that a militaristic faction believes may or may not exist. It is later used as an element in creating the Tesla Cannon, a nod to the teleforce weapon.

Ben Franklin was a very curious and inventive thinker. He kept thinking about different ways to experiment with electricity so he came up with an experiment with only a few materials (wire,mobile kite, handkerchief,and two sticks).(”Benjamin Franklin and Electricity”) Franklin

In this video it shows you how you can use the things that are something your children play with and are commonly bought things to create your own electricity. The lady in the video was using two types of playdough’s that she has made on her own. She made a salt dough, and also a dough including sugar rather than salt. When you put the two salt pieces’ together and a sugary piece in between, you can create electricity. The purpose of this video is to tell everyone about how you can conduct your own electricity and to explain how it can be used more simply than you think. It is not all about atoms and all of those substances. You can create electricity with what you have in your own house. She tested the playdough’s by putting an LED light in the salty pieces on the outside. If they touch the light will go out, but if you place a piece of sugary dough in between the two, you can leave the light on and it will stay on.

The play dough that has salt conducts electricity and play dough that has sugar has 150 time more resistance then the salt play dough and that when you put them together they create a circuit. If you put the play dough that has salt together I won’t turn the led

What is an electrical circuit? How can you manipulate components and design a circuit that will do what you want it to? This guided activity will introduce you to some components, tools, and concepts that are fundamental in electronics. It will allow you to investigate and discover:

In the video, "Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits", Anne Marie Thomas does a TED talk about Play-Doh circuits. She explains how she teaches her daughter about electricity by making homemade Play-Doh. At 1:42, she demonstrates with an LED light, Play-Doh that contains salt, Play-Doh that contains sugar, and batteries. She splits the salty Play-Doh in two and connects them with the batteries. To conclude, she sticks the LED light in both of the "squishy circuits" and it turns on.

Energy Story "Conducting Solutions" and Hands On Science taught me a little more about electricity and how it works. The video (Hands On Science) I say was probably the easiest one to get information from. I didn’t know you could get electricity from playdough, and she didn’t buy it from the store she made it herself in her kitchen so her daughter could make electricity. Both of the passages have really good information about electricity. Even though conduction solutions story is pretty short it still gave a lot of information. In the video you can see pictures of her three or four years old daughter making electricity with homemade play dough. In Energy Story it tells about how electricity is in our lives and tells you how it is all around

In each passage that I read, "Energy Story", "Conducting Solutions", and the video "Hands on Science with squishy Circuits" there are many similarities and differences within the information I have gained in the articles and the video. The main idea of this video is to mainly inform you about electricity, the main principles of it, and some different ways to make electricity.

Lab Activity: Log on and go to the PhET website (PhET.colorado.edu) Go to simulations, then “electricity” then to the following:

During my visit, I participated in various experiments at the Exploratorium. But out of all of them, the penny battery intrigued me the most. I liked this particular exhibit because I have an enormous interest in electricity. Since it demonstrates properties of conductivity, I was immediately drawn to it.

First, the difference between the two articles’, "Energy Story" and "Conducting Solutions" purposes. The article, "Energy story," talks about atoms and what atoms are needed to make electricity. That's the articles purpose, to teach you what atoms are needed to make electricity and the atoms. They put everything you need to know about atoms. How they move, how many atoms are needed in one, etc. Now for the second article, "Conducting Solutions," purpose is different. Its purpose is to say what’s a good conductor and what you can mix so it can be a good conductor. They tell you what you can mix like ammonia and vinegar. The other article doesn't really talk much about conductors and which ones

The human race has advanced a great deal over the course of recent history, particularly so since the 18th century. Countless of these developments in society can be attributed to the achievements of engineers - however, despite this, many do not realise their contribution and importance. One of the fundamental bases behind these engineering feats is the harnessing of energy sources, such as electrical and heat energy. This has allowed for many innovations, for example power stations, transportation, communications and computers, which have all become critical to society and the modern world in which we live.

An electricity and magnetism phenomenon apparently unrelated to power are electrical magnetic fields. We are familiar with these forces through the interaction of compasses with the earth's magnetic field, or through fridge magnets or magnets on children's toys. Magnetic forces are explained in terms very similar to those used for electric forces:

Not long after the invention of the voltaic pile, electrical developments boomed. With the key that was the voltaic pile, scientists were able to further explore the study of electricity.
