AC and DC Generators Topic #3 Research and discuss DC Generator voltage, current, and power expectations. direct-current (DC) generator is a rotating machine that supplies an electrical output with unidirectional voltage and current. Direct-current generators were widely used...
1. How can wave energy help fix our current power crisis? Regardless of the season, waves are generated year-round at all times of the day. This produces a potential for an unlimited zero-emission energy alternative or substitute for the current energy power plants, windmill...
The invention of inductors and the discovery of Lenz’s law allowed us to expand our mechanical and electrical systems to perform automatic physical movements that respond to sensors and transmitters. As we learned last week, motors and generators are inductive components that provide physical movement...
This week we are exploring potential problems with electrical circuits. One source of faults within electrical circuits stems from improper soldering. Watch the video below to discover proper soldering techniques. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vynb_HdEIDU Our three basic steps for troubleshooting are analysis, planning, and measuring (APM). One...
An example of a simple series circuit is one where we have a voltage source and a resistive element (i.e., light bulb, heating element, or resistor) that is connected in a single enclosed path by conductors (i.e., copper wires). Theoretically, electrons travel from the...
A series circuit is when the electricity has a one way flow, this is powered by a conductor that runs through one or two components. The analogy that I choose is lights, because it is close to the holidays I found that Christmas lights...
The analogy I'll be using for this discussion is the toll booth analogy. It can actually be applied to both series and parallel circuits, but I'll only address the former now. In this analogy, traffic represents current and a toll booth represents resistors (or...
Thankfully, the Internet has made it possible for us to watch live cricket on TV for free. Jio TV, for example, offers a wide variety of sports channels and offers free live cricket streaming. It has a great picture quality and you can pause or...
Part 1: This includes an Excel spreadsheet that performs specific calculations. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, IIHSLinks to an external site., states on their site that "Providing adequate yellow signal time is important and can reduce crashes. Studies have shown that increasing yellow timing...
Rewrite the paper to add flow charts and program code used to execute the proposed modifications. The written report includes a clear description of proposed system modifications that are reasonable for improving functionality, accompanied by a discussion of the program flow to execute them....
