What is an example of Ohms Law?

The simplest example of Ohm's Law is an old fashioned dimmer switch in your house. As you turn the dimmer switch up, the light gradually brightens until it reaches full intensity. Conversely, you can turn the dimmer switch down, and the light gradually darkens.

The dimmer switch is a variable resistor. That is, the electrical resistance of the dimmer switch changes as you rotate the knob. Ohm's Law tells us that the flow of current is directly proportional to the voltage, and inversely proportional to the resistance. Since the voltage across the switch doesn't change, the only thing that changes is the resistance when you turn the dimmer switch knob.

As you turn the dimmer switch down, you are actually increasing the resistance of the dimmer switch. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as the resistance goes up, the current (flow of electricity) goes down, and the light gets darker. This is an example of Ohm's Law.

NOTE: This example applies to rheostat switches, and does not apply to modern current-clipping dimmer switches. Rheostat switches are seldom used now because they can overheat, but the illustration is still a useful example of Ohm's Law.

How is eletricity generated?

we have a number of methods, nuclear type technology where a reaction creates heat which is transferred to a gas coolant and then to a water bolier system, which makes steam and this drives a high speed turbine.

..

there are still some coal fired stations operating .

.

there are some small er type gas turbines .

,

and there are some water powered methods .

one example is a large reservoir of water is allowed to drain at short notice,

and the resultant revolution of a turbine blade creates electricity .

later the water is pumped back up to the lake reservoir using cheaper electricity.

..

there are other methods being devised of course .

with the encouragement to find alternative methods, wind driven turbine

blades are used , but some say this is an eyesore on the landscape .

however there are already a large number of these being utilised already

....

other methods on the drawing board are wave powered and tidal - under research.

nuclear power is still a favourable option though because it releases a

much lesser amount of co2 gas to the environment when compared to other methods of production

Where were the car radios invented?

AnswerGalvin Manufacturing Corporation founders Paul Galvin and Joseph came up with the idea of putting radios in automobiles in the the 1930s. In 1928 they began selling Battery Eliminators which allowed battery powered radios to use a regular electrical outlet. The idea for a radio in an automobile came later, their first model called a "Motorola". They later changed their company to the same name.

Unofficial/undocumented Answer:

Neal Kyser McNaughten (and probably others) Although there is no documentation to prove it, my father, Neal Kyser McNaughten, born in 1911, built a radio into a Model T some time in the late 1920s. It had a paper cone and used it's own dry cell since the car had no battery. He claimed that it was particularly of interest to the young ladies...

Why can't we put metal in a microwave oven even though the inside of the microwave is all metal?

The magnetron of the microwave is an extremely powerful transmitter of microwaves at the frequency of 2.45GHz. At this frequency fats and water absorb the energy by means of dielectric heating.

The metal inside of the microwave oven will not cause problems since it is earthed and act as a shield, it absorbs any electric field continuously over its relatively large and smooth area. Therefore no charge builds up, because it is earthed. It is so effective as a shield, that it would never leak as much as 10W/m2 at 5cm distance. Most manufacturers would specify leakage at 5mW/m2 as maximum while the magnetron inside produce about 800W of radiative power. Other experiments show that it can reduce a RF signal of 2.4GHz with about 100 times.

It is usually unearthed metal objects with sharp points thats cause arcing. The object act as an antenna and accumulates an electric charge from the electric field that is perpendicular to the magnetic field of the electromagnetic field transmitted by the magnetron. The electric charge tends to be more concentrated at sharp points without any path to discharge. Once the charge is large enough and the distance between this charge and the grounded shielding is short enough. The breakdown potential of air is bridged which acts in the same way as lightning does. Once the charge accumulate to a potential difference that exceeds 3MV per meter between the object and the earthed shielding, then the air becomes a conductor due to the great amount of electrons stored in the field around the conductive object. Then the charge on the metal object will discharge towards the shielding which is the shortest path to the ground. Once the most of the electric charge is transferred to the earth, the charge becomes significantly less and to little to continue the breakdown condition. The air becomes an insulator again and the spark is gone. This will be the case until the charge is generated again to a voltage of 3MV per meter.

This charge and discharge cycle can happen at fast intervals causing a buzzing or arcing sound. The breakdown potential is not only breaking down the air, but it also has to break down through the painted layer in the inside of the shield. It will be the same as with electronic capacitors that blow as the potential passes the breakdown potential, so would the painted layer of the inside of the microwave oven also burn and be seriously damaged. The temperature in the spark can run up to thousands of degrees centigrade.

Another problem can be electric current induced and received in thin foil that will cause heating or even fuse or melt. If a CD or DVD is placed into a microwave oven then the metal coating at the rear side of the disk will most likely melt away not because of the arcing as such, but because of high current flow through the thin metal layer which can even melt the plastic.

Not all metal objects in a microwave would actually spark. Some objects such as grills that are specially designed for microwave ovens often is designed to be large and smooth surfaces or even earthed. They would actually work in a microwave oven without problems. Whether the object will spark or not, has much to do with the shape, sharp points, clearance, earthed or not etc. Often aluminum containers may work well in a microwave as long as its sides are smooth and do not touch the sides, while a fork will spark like crazy due to the high charge that is concentrated at the tips. This however is not easy to assume for all metal objects whether it will spark or not. In some cases aluminum foil can be used in a microwave to shield of some parts of food that do not need as much heating. The normal foil is thick enough not to heat up from the current. But then again, wrinkled foil can be very unsafe because of its unevenness and its pointy texture. Therefore I would not recommend to experiment with metal objects in a microwave oven. Stick to the manufacturers specifications. It can cause serious damage to your microwave if the experiment would fail.

This is also the reason why we shouldn't use cellular phones at gas stations, although the risk is practically very small that the cell phone will cause nearby metal objects to spark and cause the fuel to ignite, it is theoretically possible in some scenarios to happen. However the microwave oven often is about 300 - 3000 times more powerful than a cell phone transmitter section and therefore the effect of a cell phone has on metal objects are significantly less.

What is carrier frequency?

A carrier frequency is a single radio frequency with steady amplitude.

Alone, it would sound like silence on a receiver.

This is the frequency that a radio receiver is tuned into.

To be of use in communication, this carrier wave has to be changed in time with another signal (usually audio), called 'Modulation'

It can be turned on and off using a Morse key.

It can be changed by shifting the frequency, FM.

It can be changed by varying the amplitude, AM.

It can be changed by adding or subtracting audio to the carrier. Single Side Band.

It can have data applied by shifting between two carrier frequencies. FSK. (Frequency shift keying.)

It's called a carrier, because it is the carrier of information without necessarily being the information itself.

What do transistors do in a circuit?

Transistors provide most of the activities a circuit needs to operate. In their most basic representation, transistors are amplifiers. That is, they take and amplify a signal from the level produced by a microphone and amplify it enough to blast it out through a speaker. Transistors are also used on decision making circuits, like electronic gates and Central Processing Units (CPUs). Solid state, electronic systems like desktop computers, cell phones, and GPS devices would not be possible without transistors.

Where are phones made from?

Cell phones are like miniature walkie-talkies. Only they can transmit and receive at the same time. They don't have much power, so the cable companies have cell phone towers a few miles apart to pick up the signal on the cell phone. When the phone starts getting too far away from the cell tower, the phone starts receiving the next strongest signal from another tower.

What is the best laser pointer to buy?

I recommend LEDShoppe.

It's a 5 mW laser pointer that can be seen a mile away, with a LED light on it as well. Only $3 with free shipping, and they are buy one, get TWO free!

The only bad thing is that they ship from Hong Kong, so it will take a week or two to get it but it's worth it for 3 bucks.

What is the fundamental rule for electric charge?

Fundamental laws of electric charges: opposite charges (positive and negative) attract, similar charges (positive and positive or negative and negative) repel, somtimes charged objects will attract a neutral object.

Are there radios of similar quality to Bose?

Whether or not the Bose radios are better than others depends on what you are looking for. The Bose systems are great if you are looking for a compact radio that is pretty easy to use. If you are looking for a radio where your able to have finer control over things like bass and treble, this is not the radio for you. Overall it seems that most people who own them tend to love them. They are high quality and do have great sound. They are moderately expensive though.

What is the main advantage of an fet transistor over a bjt transistor?

BJT & FET parameters are temperature dependent. In BJT the collector junction resistance decreasing ( collector current increasing) with temperature raise.Due to the highe temperature & current transistor will damage quickly. In FET drain resistance increasing (drain current decreasing ) with increasing temperature.Due to this property it will not damage easily. We can say from the above two statements FET is more temperature stable.FET can use in highe temperature applications.

What unit measures the force that makes electrons move in an electric current?

The force that makes electrons move is a voltage, or potential difference and both are measured in Volts. When electrons move, the rate of movement is current, measured in Amps. The amount of current is dependant on both the resistance in a circuit and the voltage. The higher the resistance, the lower the current. The higher the voltage, the greater the current.

The symbol for voltage is "V" and confusingly, the symbol for current is "I". The unit of resistance is the Ohm with the symbol "R" or the Greek symbol for omega.
