Who are some famous scientists who contributed in the field of electricity?
Andre Ampere
Andre Marie Ampere was the first to explain the electro-dynamic theory. A permanent memorial to Ampere is the use of his name for the unit of electric current.
George Ohm
George Simon Ohm published, "The galvanic Circuit Investigated Mathematically". His theories were coldly received by German scientists. His name has been given to the unit of electrical resistance.
James Watt
James Watt invented the steam condensing engine. His improvements to steam engines were patented over a period of 15 years, starting in 1769 and his name was given to the electric unit of power, the Watt.
Thomas Edison
A really practical DC (Direct Current) generator was built by Thomas Edison. Edison's many inventions included the phonograph and an improved printing telegraph.
Joseph Swan
Joseph Swan nvented the incandescent filament lamp and within twelve months.
Swan and Edison later set up a joint company to produce the first practical filament lamp. Prior to this, electric lighting had been my crude arc lamps.
William Thomson (Lord Kelvin)
He made important contributions to many areas of Physics including electricity, magnetism and thermodynamics. He was created Lord Kelvin for his work on the first transatlantic cable.
Is electronic equipment a nonrenewable resource?
Electronic equipment is made of many substances, including rubber, metals, glass and plastics. Metals in general are non-renewable. In general, plastics are non-renewable as they are derived from oil. Glass is renewable resource, but we are consuming fossil fuels to transform silicon particles (sand) into glass. For this reason, glass should be recycled.
More importantly, there has been a huge turnover of electronic equipment, creating hazardous conditions when disposed in incinerators or landfills. The disassembly of electronic equipment and re-use is a growing and important industry.
There is a worldwide effort to recycle or carefully dispose of the plastics used in all electronic equipment (from telephones, televisions, cameras, computers, fax machines, ipods, and many others) as there are chemical hazards (heavy metals in particular) to the environment when large quantities enter landfills.
You can find out if there are special measures being taken in your community for recycling computer equipment. All the major manufacturers of PC's are aware of "e-waste."
I've included some links.
Why was solar panels invented?
