Who discovered that magnetic phenomena can be produced by electric effects?
This was Hans Christian Ørsted. April 1820 - Copenhagen. He found that a compass needle could be deflected (it moved) if a current was switched on or off in a nearby conductor. This was the first demonstrated link between electricity and magnetism, later taken up in detail by Michael Faraday. Oersted did not develop his experiment into an electric motor, though it is the basic idea on which all motors work - the interaction of an electric current with a magnet (usually in modern motors an electromagnet of some kind) to produce a force, and thus a movement.
Comparition and contraction between phototropism and gravitropism?
If I am not mistaken, phototropism is when plants grow towards the sun. Gravitropism is when plants grow towards the ground.
Who discovered electricity-?
That certain objects such as rods of amber could be rubbed with animal fur and attract light objects was known to ancient cultures around the Mediterranean. Thales of Miletos made a series of observations on static electricity around 600 BC By the 1600's, many electricity-related discoveries had been made, such as the invention of an early electrostatic generator, the difference between positive and negative currents, and the classification of materials as conductors or insulators. During the year 1600 an English physician William Gilbert coined the term "electric", from the Greek word elektron (meaning amber: the semiprecious stone made from fossilized pine tree sap), to identify the force that certain substances exert when rubbed against each other.Benjamin Franklin is said to be the father of electricity, current findings seem to show otherwise. In 1752, Franklin is said to have performed the famous experiment of flying a kite during a thunderstorm, to which led to the discovery that lightning and electricity were somehow related. Modern scientists know this to be something of a tall tale, since being hit by lightning would have been fatal. It's likely that Franklin was actually insulated, away from the path of lightning.The kite experiment helped Franklin establish a relationship between lightning and electricity, which led to the invention of the lightning rod. Benjamin Franklin went on to investigate other phenomena related to electricity, but many believe that he didn't actually discover its true nature.In 1800, Italian-born physicist Alessandro Volta constructed the voltaic pile, later known as the electric battery, the first device to produce a steady electric current. It was Volta, not Franklin, who discovered that certain chemical reactions could produce electricity. Volta also created the first transmission of electricity by linking positively-charged and negatively-charged connectors and driving an electrical charge, or current, through them.It wasn't until 1831 that electricity became viable for use in technology. English scientist Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo, a crude precursor of modern power generators. This invention opened the door to the new era of electricity. A few decades later, in 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented the practical incandescent light bulb.The actual power systems we use today were developed by Nikola Tesla. His first power plant is still able to be viewed on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Prior to Edison's invention of the practical incandescent light, Tesla developed and was using florescent lights in his shop.
The spark that jumps between the hand and the doorknob is an example of?
an electric discharge ******************* Static electricity.
The mathematical relationship between matter and energy E mc2 was discovered by?
Albert Einstien
What two way communication between individuals or stated differently between their nervous systeme is entirely dependent on muscular contraction?
A smile?
What year was electricity discovered exactly?
In 600 B.C ,the Ancient Greeks discovered that rubbing fur on amber caused an attraction between the two and so what the Greeks discovered was static electricity.
Albert Einstein discovered the mathematical relationship between and?
electricity and mass
What is the description and function of the diaphagelm?
I presume you mean diaphragm. This is the muscular partition between the Chest and Abdomen. Its contraction is responsible for breathing as it tends to inflate and deflate the lungs.
What year was electric discovered?
In 600 B.C ,the Ancient Greeks discovered that rubbing fur on amber caused an attraction between the two and so what the Greeks discovered was static electricity.
who discovered that magnetism and electricity related?
A notable series of investigations of the relationship between electricity and magnetism was conducted almost in parallel in England by Michael Faraday and in America by Joseph Henry. Both Faraday and Henry discovered the principle of the dynamo in 1830-31, for example. Although they independently discovered many of the same connections and devices, Faraday's work was to have the greater theoretical impact while Henry's had more immediate practical application.
Who discovered the magntic effect of an electric current?
Hans Christian Oersted established the relationship between electricity and magnetism in 1820.
What is the 3 things that oersted discovered about the relationship between electricity and magnetism?
wire , copper rod en magnetic wire
Who discovered Magnetic force?
A French scientist named Andre-Marie Ampere studied the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
Give some picture of the one who invented electricity?
No-one "invented" electricity. It is a natural force. However many people discovered its nature and laws, and it was Michael Faraday who realised the relationships between electricity and magnetism, hence making possible the generation of electricity, and the electric motor.
How did Benjamin Franklin discovered between lightning and electricity?
Ben Franklin flew a kite during a lightning storm and was electrocuted through the wires in the kite.
What is the difference between isotonic and isometric contractions?
An Isotonic muscle contraction is a muscle contraction that makes your limbs move whereas an Isometric contraction is a muscle contraction where the limbs stay static
