The French physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb published his first three reports of electricity and magnetism where he stated his law. This publication was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism. He used a torsion balance to study the repulsion and attraction forces of charged particles‚ and determined that the magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance

Part one: The Lab You will be helping Galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same‚ or different‚ rates in the air and in a vacuum. Before you conduct your experiment‚ you need to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. The hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur. Record your hypothesis here:

What is Magnetism? Properties of Magnets: Magnet: any material that attracts iron and materials that contain iron Magnets attract iron and materials that contain iron. magnets attract or repel other magnets. In addition‚ one part of a magnet will always point north when allowed to swing freely. Magnetic Poles: Magnetic Pole: any magnet with 2 ends‚ each is called a magnetic pole. Magnetic poles that are unlike attract each other and magnetic poles that are alike repel each other. Magnetic

universe is governed by four fundamental forces‚ or interactions. These forces are the strong nuclear force‚ weak nuclear force‚ electromagnetic force‚ and gravity. The first two forces work on the atomic level but we can observe gravity and electromagnetism every day. Without these four fundamental forces of nature working together‚ our world would break apart and float aimlessly into oblivion. The strongest of the four fundamental forces of nature is the strong nuclear force‚ also called the strong

Most students of electricity begin their study with what is known as direct current (DC)‚ which is electricity flowing in a constant direction‚ and/or possessing a voltage with constant polarity. DC is the kind of electricity made by a battery (with definite positive and negative terminals)‚ or the kind of charge generated by rubbing

Electricity is important in our everyday lives. It is essential for almost everything in our modern world. The knowledge learned in the past about electricity enabled such things as engines‚ telephones‚ radios‚ computers‚ and much‚ much more. As early as 600 B.C.‚ the Greeks were already studying electricity. They noticed that if you rubbed a piece of amber with fur‚ it had a charge with the ability to attract small objects. Many years later‚ in the 16th Century‚ William Gilbert discovered many

The Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and Hertz experiments on the generation and detection of electromagnetic waves in 1887 strongly established the wave nature of light. Towards the same period at the end of 19th century‚ experimental investigations on conduction of electricity (electric discharge) through gases at low pressure in a discharge tube led to many historic discoveries. The discovery of X-rays by Roentgen in 1895‚ and of electron by J. J. Thomson in 1897‚ were important milestones
