    Luigi Galvani, and Alessandro Volta regarding the source of electricity in Galvani’s famous frog experiment. These debates lead to the invention of the battery by Volta, and the invention of Volta’s. Volta’s discoveries would lead the way for Ohm’s law several years later. However, before that discovery was made Hans Christian Ørstead discovered electromagnetism, which was then used by André Marie Amperè to show that magnetism

    reciprocal. At every step in the history of theorizing the organic communication system and technological communication system, particularly the human nervous system and the telegraph, the scientists base their knowledge on conditions or established laws or theories of the other system. For example, the nervous system is understood as a telegraphic apparatus, with nerves acting as wires and the brain as the central station, and the telegraph is seen as, and, as demonstrated me Morse, modelled after

    Introduction Induction machines are classified into two which includes motors and generators. The basic principles of these motors can be applied and hence develop equations describing its behaviour. The most common motors include squirrel-cage, wound-rotor ranging from few horsepower to thousands as the case may be. Squirrel Cage Rotor consist of a bare copper, slightly longer than the rotor, while a wound rotor has a 3 phase windings, and are evenly distributed in the slots, usually connected

    electricity. Michael Faraday; an English scientist help discover the diamagnetism, electrolysis and electromagnetic induction. Faraday was humble, since he was a kid, he took an interest in energy and forced. Around 1832-1832, Faraday had an idea that an electromotive force is generated in an electrical conductor which in fact encircles a magnetic flux, and was later called after him “Faraday’s Law”. A lot of inventions happened during that time, for instance; the first electrical generator capable of delivering

    Research Paper Draft An expression states, “Curiosity killed the cat.” In the case of science, curiosity has helped figure out what exactly makes the world go around the sun and many other things that we could not live without knowing. Curiosity sparks an interest and is the reason for flying a kite in the middle of a lightning storm, it is the reason we have cars, computers and other machines. Throughout history, there are many famous scientists and chemists that have helped explain, and shape
