SEMICONDUCTOR a solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals‚ either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors‚ notably silicon‚ are essential components of most electronic circuits. 1. A semiconductor is a material which has electrical conductivitybetween that of a conductor such as copper and that of an insulatorsuch as glass. semiconductor is a material whose electrical conductivity is

famous scientist‚ John Dalton‚ who became an inspiration to Joule as he aspired to become a scientist himself. James Prescott Joule is well known for his research and experiments involving electricity‚ heat and mechanical work. He sent his paper in 1840 entitled‚ On the Production of Heat by Voltaic Electricity to the Royal Society in London – a prestigious association of British scientists. They paid little attention to Joule’s paper‚ and only published a brief summary of it. Three years later

In electricity generation‚ an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electrons in the windings to flow through the external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump‚ which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine‚ water falling through a turbine or waterwheel‚ an internal combustion engine‚ a wind turbine‚ a hand crank

In the long term‚ however‚ the hall office is likely to increase dormitory fees to cover the increase in electricity expenses. It turns out that all residents work on their own future disadvantage. People waste electrical energy because they believe others are also doing so. Similarly‚ if these people come to know that others are contributing their effort to

near the uncharged one‚ it attracts all of the opposite charges closer to the charged object. When two materials are rubbed together (like a balloon and your hair)‚ one will lose electrons and one will accumulate them. Producing Static Electricity Sometimes the outer layer of the object has negatively-charged electrons and the atoms are rubbed off‚ producing atoms that have a positive charge. The balloon

experiment is investing how length of an object is affected be the resistance. The electrons move away from the individual atoms of the wire when there is a electricity flow. This will cause a decrease in the speed at which the electrons move which then in matter of time‚ the electrons eventually stop. When electrons move through a conductor‚ electricity flows‚ which illustrates the moving of electrons in the wire which collide with the ions in the metal. This then makes it more difficult for the current

Two bulbs connect in series - The more loads that are connected in series‚ the lower the current would be in the circuit Instrument (equipment) and static electricity - Instrument: hair and ballon - Static electricity – is an imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object 31.
