         Once again, the electrical current that flows through the wires produces a magnetic field. The magnet will only move if the magnetic field is strong enough. The wire carrying the electrical current behaves like a magnet. It either attracts or repels the magnet that is above it. If the direction of the magnetic field changes, then the direction of the electrical current changes. Magnetic field is formed in concentric circles around a current-carrying wire, laying the wire flat ensures

    superconductivity, we must try to understand the how "normal" conductivity works. This will make it much easier to understand how the "super" part functions. In the following paragraphs, I will explain how superconductivity works, some of the current problems and some examples of its uses. CONDUCTIVITY Conductivity is the ability of a substance to carry electricity. Some substances like copper, aluminium, silver and gold do it very well. They are called conductors. Others conduct electricity

    • 9 Pages

    An oscillating motion of a particle or body about a reference point which is fixed is known as vibration. This motion is sinusoidal i.e., simple harmonic or otherwise non sinusoidal i.e., complex. This can occur in different modes as translational or bending modes and, since the vibration can occur in more modes at a time, vibration analysis is very much difficult. Units of vibration The units of vibration depend on the vibrational parameter as follows: • Acceleration in units of m/s2. • Velocity

    Economic Principles For an economy to thrive it must spend money. The amount of money that is spent can vary greatly from one year to the next. When interest rates are low and reasonable, more loans may be taken and this money is put back into the economy. This influx of monies into the economy can create jobs which lower the unemployment rate. A nation must be able to engage in free trade to help import goods and services that it may be lacking in. When a nation has goods and services that it excels

    than the first wire. 43) The metal wing of an airplane acts like a “wire” flying through Earth’s magnetic field. A voltage is induced between the wing tips, and a current flows along the wing, but only for a short time. Why does the current stop even though the airplane continues flying through Earth’s magnetic field? -The current stops even though the airplane continues to fly through the Earth’s magnetic field, because the losses which occurred when a motor operates a generator and when the

    protons (Joseph, 2002).When the balancing force between protons and electrons is upset by an outside force, an atom may gain or lose an electron. When electrons are "lost" from an atom, the free movement of these electrons constitutes an electric current (Joseph, 2002). To understand electricity one must know that it is not an invention but a

    A Spark of Genius Despite how fragile it may appear, the human body has an incredible amount of resilience and tenacity. That is to say, whilst disease and injury can easily push it to its furthest limits, the human body has a wonderful tendency to quickly overcome and recover. However, in spite of this, it has always been impossible for the body to undergo regeneration in wake of serious damage. Indeed, amputation, organ damage and nerve damage are considered to be among the worst injuries that
