Nigel Cook 2005 Dec 06 gravitation Big Bang physics electromagnetism ... September 11 "My first article appeared when I was 22, in the November 1994 issue of Electronics World, on electromagnetic pulse. Later I corresponded with Electronics World writer Ivor Catt on electromagnetism. Catt?s drive was motivated by a life saving discovery on computer cross-talk glitches. He had discovered a way to avert computer crashes completely in air traffic control systems while speeding them up sufficiently to spot potential collisions or terrorist activity automatically, and a version of his earlier computer wafer scale innovation had successfully come to market. His problem was that ?popular physics? authors were flooding the media with hype about backward time travel, 10 dimensional strings, parallel universes and Kaku flying saucer speculation, and were obviously lying that such unpopular non-testable guesses were science. A-level physics uptake falls by 4% per year!" A New Light in Physics 2005 May 04 electromagnetism particle physics Einstein was wrong "The book presents a set of new splendid theories about light, the elementary particles and the basic forces of nature. The new theories are coherent with Classical Physics, Quantum Physics and the De Broglie relation. Some of today's main theories are corrected, others are assumed wrong like Relativity. The real structure of light, photons, electrons, and neutrinos is revealed. The mystery of ?wave-particle duality' is solved! The experiments of Michelson-Morley, Davisson-Germer, Kaufmann, Hertz and Fizeau are analyzed with a new point of view. All this presented in a very concise, precise and simple style."

Building an electric motor in 10 minutes. The single brush motor. A bigger motor. The double brush improvement. ... A railgun in 10 minutes A simple homemade Van de Graaff generator In the previous two projects, we stole high voltage from a television set to power our high voltage motors. In this project we will build a device that can generate 12,000 volts from an empty soda can and a rubber band. The device is called a Van de Graaff generator. Science museums and research facilities have large versions that generate potentials in the hundreds of thousands of volts. Ours is more modest, but is still capable of drawing 1/2 inch sparks from the soda can to my finger. The spark is harmless, and similar to the jolt you get from a doorknob after scuffing your feet on the carpet. To build the toy, you need: An empty soda can A small nail A rubber band, 1/4 inch by 3 or 4 inches A 5x20 millimeter GMA-Type electrical fuse (such as Radio Shack #270-1062) A small DC motor (such as Radio Shack #273-223) A battery clip (Radio Shack #270-324) A battery holder (Radio Shack #270-382) A styrofoam cup (a paper cup will also work) A hot glue gun (or regular glue if you don't mind waiting) Two 6 inch long stranded electrical wires (such as from an extension cord) Two pieces of 3/4 inch PVC plumbing pipe, each about 2 or 3 inches long

Electromagnetism and Charge Mass is one attribute of matter. It is associated with the gravitational force Charge is another attribute of matter. It is associated with the electromagnetic force The theory of electromagnetism was first proposed by James C. Maxwell: Light is an electromagnetic wave. Matter can be electrically charged. A stationary charge has an electric field. A moving charge can produce a magnetic field. Just as gravity accelerates masses, electric and magnetic fields can accelerate charges. When accelerated, charges give off ( emit electromagnetic radiation

29. Physics 30: Electromagnetism Transfer an understanding of electromagnetism to practical applications. Solve problems relating to electromagnetism. http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/physics/u7b3phy.html

Optional Unit VII: Electromagnetism B. Electromagnetism Key Concepts Oersted discovered that a magnetic field is created in the region of a current-carrying conductor. The direction of the magnetic field lines is dependent on the direction of current flow through a conductor. The magnetic field forms a series of concentric circles around a straight conductor. The strength of the magnetic field diminishes inversely as the radial distance from the conductor increases. At any given distance from the conductor, the strength of the magnetic field increases directly with the amount of current in the conductor. Ampere's Rule (right-hand rule) can be used to describe the direction of the magnetic field about a straight conductor. If the conductor is grasped with the right hand in such a way that the right thumb points in the direction of the current, the fingers wrap around the conductor in the direction of the magnetic field. (Some texts refer to the "right-hand rule". Avoid this convention to prevent unnecessary confusion.) The strength of a magnetic field around a conductor can be intensified by coiling the conductor into a loop. A large number of loops form a coil, or

30. Electromagnetism Actually, there is only a single field, the electromagnetic field , but for historical purposes it has been split into the concepts of the electric field http://www.eryptick.net/dj/electrom.htm

Electromagnetism, Relativity, and Maxwell a draft by David Jefferies 18th August 2000 revised 29th September 2000 see also http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/D.Jefferies/emant.html Charge is mysterious. We know it comes in two sorts, distinguished by the labels "positive" and "negative". We might just as well call it "Tom" and "Jerry". The behaviour of charge is summarised by the two facts that "like charges repel, unlike charges attract, the force being proportional to the product of the amounts of charge" and "the repulsion (or attraction) falls off as the square of the distance between the charges." Unfortunately, the early investigators assigned positive charge to the static ions, and that left negative charge for the mobile electrons. Thus, a stream of electrons travelling to the right actually represents a positive "current" or "charge flow" to the left. The "inverse square law" means that the repulsive force between two "Toms" falls to a quarter of its original value each time the distance between the "Toms" is doubled....and the attractive force between a single "Tom" and a single "Jerry" likewise falls to a quarter every time the distance between them is doubled. If we suddenly put two Toms together and some distance away there is a single Jerry, [notwithstanding the fact that we might question whether the two Toms would repel each other so much that they would fly apart,] the pair of them instantaneously attract the single Jerry with twice the force that just a single Tom would.

35. Oersted Contemporary historians of science do not all agree that the discovery of electromagnetism by Hans Christian Oersted in 1820 was directly tied to Friedrich http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/fgregory/oersted.htm

Episodes in Romantic Science Oersted and the Discovery of Electromagnetism by Frederick Gregory Department of History University of Florida Contemporary historians of science do not all agree that the discovery of electromagnetism by Hans Christian Oersted in 1820 was directly tied to Friedrich Schelling's system of romantic nature philosophy, nor is it clear how one could establish this assertion beyond doubt. What is clear is that Oersted was attracted to certain fundamental tenets of German idealistic thought and, as we shall see, a direct personal link between Schelling and Oersted can be demonstrated. In fact, it was reported later in the nineteenth century that a few years before his death Oersted himself credited Schelling with the stimulus necessary to the discovery of electromagnetism. The reader may not have anticipated that thoughts as abstruse and apparently "unscientific" as Schelling's could constitute an intellectual environment that might contribute to the uncovering of so fundamental a scientific discovery as electromagnetism. Hans Christian Oersted Hans Christian Oersted was born in the south central part of Denmark in 1777. He and his younger brother Anders entered the University of Copenhagen in 1793, Hans concentrating on medicine, physics, and astronomy while Anders took up law. The brothers did not confine their attention to these fields, for, as was common in a university education in those days, they dabbled in a wide variety of disciplinary studies. In 1797 Hans earned first prize for an essay on "Limits of Poetry and Prose." In the same year the elder Oersted brother completed a degree in pharmacy with high honors, and two years later he was awarded the degree Doctor of Philosophy with a dissertation entitled "On the Form of an Elementary Metaphysics of External Nature."

However, you don't go far in magnetism before you encounter the problem of its unit systems. That's right: system s , plural. You can understand that the world has different unit systems for length or mass. One half talks of pounds, feet and inches while the other says grams, millimetres and metres . Hundreds of millions of people find that the older 'imperial' or British system works for them (despite the occasional mishap ). They conclude that it isn't worth the effort and expense of changing.

Home Education Resources Science of NDT Electricity ELECTROMAGNETISM After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Describe how a magnetic field is created. Explain how the electromagnet and the solenoid work together. In 1820, a Danish scientist named Hans Oersted discovered that a magnetic compass could be deflected from its resting position if a wire carrying electric current were placed near the compass. This deflection of the compass only occurred when current was flowing in the wire. When current was stopped, the compass returned to its resting position. Magnetic Field This graphic seems to indicate that any wire in which an electric current is flowing is surrounded by an invisible force field called a magnetic field . For this reason, any time we deal with current flowing in a circuit, we must also consider the effects of this magnetic field. We have all probably had experiences with magnets at one time or another. Magnets attract certain types of material like iron but almost nothing else. Electromagnetism The term electromagnetism is defined as the production of a magnetic field by current flowing in a conductor. We will need to understand electromagnetism in greater detail to understand how it can be used to do work.
