42. Physics Demonstrations - Electricity It could serve as an introduction to a discussion of the physics of plasmas (ionized gases) and electrical breakdown. If the Jacob s ladder is operated http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/demobook/chapter4.htm

ELECTRICITY Although electricity contains many parallels with motion, it involves a fundamentally different force. Electricity is the study of the motion and effect of charges just as mechanics is the study of the motion and effect of masses. The subject of electricity was placed on a firm quantitative basis by the Scottish mathematician and physicist, James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), whose four equations encompass all electromagnetic phenomena. When Einstein, a generation later, upset almost all of "classical physics," Maxwell's equations survived untouched. Electrical demonstrations, especially those involving very high voltages, constitute some of the most spectacular in the whole of physics. Electrical Safety Considerations Pulsed currents such as one might encounter with the discharge of a Van de Graaff generator or other charged capacitance present special considerations. One can endure currents that would otherwise be lethal if the duration is short enough. For pulses of less than a few seconds duration, the relevant quantity is the square of the current integrated over the time of the pulse. Values of I t greater than about 0.01 A

BACK Historical Beginnings of Theories of Electricity and Magnetism Michael Fowler U Va Physics The first records of electricity and magnetism An early Greek word for the sun - hlector - pronounced "elector" - was also used to describe amber, because of its sunshiny color. Amber is the fossilized resin of a now extinct coniferous tree, almost all of it comes from the Baltic region in Northern Europe. Of course, this is the stuff that preserves insects from millions of years ago. It was greatly prized in the early world as jewelry, and used as such in Greece from the earliest recorded times. Amber came to be called "electron" by the Greek classic writers, but this term also referred to native gold and silver-gold alloys (same color). First scientific-type explanations The first discussion that begins to look like a scientific explanation I can find is in Lucretius, On the Nature of Things ( De Rerum Natura ). Lucretius was born in 98 B.C. and died in 55 B.C. or so, but he was summarizing the views of Epicurus (342 - 270 B.C.), himself a follower of Democritus. They all believed everything to be made up of atoms, Democritus thought the atoms followed natural laws, but Epicurus thought they could be deviated a bit by free will. They all thought the soul too was made of atoms, which fell apart at death so there was no afterlife, and if there were gods, they didn’t concern themselves with us. Anyway, back to magnets. Lucretius states (in describing a loadstone attracting a ring of iron): " ..it must needs be that there stream off this stone very many seeds or an effluence, which, with its blows, parts asunder all the air which has its place between the stone and the iron. When this space is emptied .. atoms of the iron start forward and fall into the void, all joined together .. the ring itself follows .. with its whole body." In other word

(Already a member? Click here. EnchantedLearning.com Static Electricity Zoom Astronomy Static electricity is a stationary electric charge that is built up on a material. A common example of static electricity is the slight electrical shock that we can get when we touch a doorknob during dry weather. The static electricity is formed when we accumulate extra electrons (negatively-charged particles which we rub off carpeting) and they are discharged onto the doorknob. Producing Static Electricity Everything is made up of atoms, and atoms are made of tiny particles, some of which are electrically charged. Most atoms are electrically neutral; the positive charges (protons in the nucleus or center of the atom) cancel out the negative charges (electrons that surround the nucleus in clouds). Opposite charges attract one another. Similar charges repel one another. Sometimes the outer layer (the negatively-charged electrons) of atoms are rubbed off, producing atoms that have a slight positive charge. The object that did the rubbing will accumulate a slight negative charge as it gets extra electrons. During dry weather, these excess charges do not dissipate very easily, and you get static electricity. (During humid weather, the electrons flow through the damp air and the object become electrically neutral.)

Advertising Help the physics community displaced by Katrina: Katrina Affected Physics and Astronomy Community Bulletin Board U.S. Department of Energy Temporary Educational Matching Program Articles Transforming the Electric Infrastructure Clark W. Gellings and Kurt E. Yeager The US electricity system, which precisely balances supply and demand while delivering electromagnetic energy that propagates at nearly light speed, has often been described as the most complex machine ever built. Indeed, in 2003 the US National Academy of Engineering named the electricity system as the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century. The academy noted that the system is ingeniously engineered; it is a catalyst for new technologies and new industries; and it has an enormous impact on improving quality of life. It is arguably the most influential machine of the 20th century. Consolidation Beginning in the 1930s, relatively small, isolated electrical systems gradually melded into ever larger interconnected ones. During the 1950s and 1960s, that evolution produced extensive integrated systems and large regional pools. Higher transmission voltages allowed bulk delivery, over long distances, of enormous quantities of power that originated at large generating plants having easy access to fuel sources. The markets made possible by interconnected systems in turn supported the building of bigger generating units. With economies of scale, price declined, which further fueled demand.

60. C2 Key Concepts Of Electricity electricity is one of the basic areas of physics which are important at all Sequential reasoning in electricity. In Research on physics Education. http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~jossem/ICPE/C2.html

LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING KEY CONCEPTS OF ELECTRICITY Reinders Duit Institute for Science Education at the University of Kiel, Germany Introduction This chapter has two major aims: First, to summarize briefly findings on students' pre- and post-instructional conceptions in the domain of electricity and on their double role in teaching and learning processes, namely to be impediments of learning and also to be the necessary building blocks for students' processes of constructing understanding. Second, to employ the case of learning difficulties in electricity to point to more general aspects of the role of students' pre-instructional conceptions in learning physics. Electricity is one of the basic areas of physics which are important at all levels of physics teaching. At the primary level young children already gain experience with simple electric circuits. At the following levels electricity is systematically taught and is a significant topic in all kinds of schooling. For reasons of a compressed description this review will not focus on the evolution of students' conceptions with age and over the different levels of education. Instead of this, the different conceptions will be listed and described in a loose sequence Students' conceptions of current, voltage and resistance
