Concepts, Theories and Unknowns Aspects of Magnetism Magnetism has long been one of the great mysteries of the world. It has gone for so long unexplained and although there has been a lot of progress in figuring out how magnetism works and what it’s caused by, it still isn’t completely understood. There are many theories about magnetism, but there is still much more yet to be discovered about magnetism. In the future it will probably be easily understood, but none the less intriguing. Magnets
Electricity and Magnetism History Electromagnetism Originally electricity and magnetism were thought of as two separate forces. This view changed, however, with the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's 1873Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be regulated by one force. There are four main effects resulting from these interactions, all of which have been clearly demonstrated by experiments: 1. Electric charges attract
in others. With research of the first ferrofluid in 1963 by Steven Papell with N.A.S.A., ferrofluids have been used to provide advancements in the field of technology. In modern times, ferrofluids are used in speakers for their relationship with magnetism and heat; as well ferrofluids are used in computer hard drives for their unique magnetic fluidic properties. Additionally, ferrofluids have potentials in the field of bio-medical engineering, including: advancements
In the arctic north at a secret military base a system was developed to capture and reemit cosmic rays. The cosmic rays are immensely high energy radiation and mysterious in origin. These cosmic rays were tested on substances to determine effect. The tests were always subjected to illegal human trials looking to turn a human into the perfect weapon. For years this went on, a number of different experiments with elements and compounds were used with the cosmic rays, some of which showed significant
patient illness and for treatment of patients. Non-ionising radiation is used to describe the part of the electromagnetic spectrum and it does not carry enough energy. MRI MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging and it is a scanner which uses magnetism to see the position of hydrogen atoms in water molecules inside the body. This will allow it to build up an image of the internal structures. Quality of information is very high and it does not require any ionising radiation. Radiofrequency is not

Although DC stands for “direct current”, DC often refers to “constant polarity”. Under this definition, DC often voltages can vary in time, as seen in the raw output of a rectifier or the fluctuating voice signal on a telephone. 5. Explain the effect of resistance in circuits. Ans: Resistance is the hindrance to the flow of charge. An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounter resistance for an electron, the journey from terminal to terminal is not a direct

In 1601, Giovanni Battista della Porta described a machine that could be used to raise a column of water with the use of steam. He described this machine in a work entitled "Spiritali." Porta's work included a vacuum created by the condensation of steam into which water would flow. Porta's apparatus, was called the "Pneumatica." Porta's machine was described as being able to raise water with steam pressure. Although Porta's machine was never applied to any practical uses, he accurately described
MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique using magnetic waves and radio-waves to investigate the human anatomy and physiology. The usage of the magnetic waves protects patients from other harmful effects present in other forms of scans, such as the ionising radiation in CT scans. The process of how an MRI operates is complicated, and involves many principles of Physics, by using the water molecules within the human body to construct a complex, three-dimensional view of the anatomy .
