Ariel reconnaissance using manned balloons was one way of keeping tabs on the enemy. The balloonists sent messages to the ground via semaphore (flag signals) or in some cases by telegraph. One of the first effective uses of the balloon was at Fortress Monroe, Virginia on July 31st, 1861 and again on August 1st, 1861. The August 1st flight featured the first 'aircraft carrier' when a balloon was tied off to a transport ship in Chesapeake Bay.

Where is the electric field in conducting and non-conducting sheets?
E field does not exist within the conductor, because the charge exists on the surface. This is not true for non conductors.

What constitutes AN electromagnetostatic field?
the constitutes an electromagnetostatic field are static electric and magnetic fields in conducting medium.
What is the electric field half way to the centre of a conducting sphere charged to a potential of 15v?
electric field inside the conducting sphere is ZER0..! because their are equivalent charges all around the sphere which makes the net force zero hence we can say that the electric field is also zero.!

What is the field research method of inquiry?
Field research involves collecting firsthand data by directly observing and interacting with individuals, groups, or communities in their natural environment. This method allows researchers to gather rich and detailed qualitative information that may not be accessible through other research methods.
