Electricity Physics

Two of the boldest and most creative scientists of all time were Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879). This is the story of how these two men - separated in age by 40 years - discovered the existence of the electromagnetic field and devised a radically new theory which overturned the strictly mechanical view of the world that had prevailed since Newton's time.

Most of us take the supply of electricity for granted. This booklet gives simple explanation of what is electricity and how it reaches your home. Concepts such as AC and DC current and a few simple electrical components and their functions are explained. Mathematical expressions are totally avoided.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, engineer, and physicist. In his work On Electricity, the prodigious inventory describes the development and influence of electricity.

Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today.

Aristotle considers ‘the principles and causes of change, or movement’ behind both animate and inanimate things. It is philosophy, not science, but over centuries affected the views of those involved in the ‘natural sciences’. The text emerged from the Lyceum, the school founded by Aristotle, and is accepted to be a compilation of texts, some of which - but perhaps not all - is by Aristotle. Regardless of authorship, its importance is unquestioned.

Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet.

Welcome to Physics Nerd! In this exciting book, you will: Discover the building blocks of matter and the quantum weirdness that defies common sense. Understand the invisible forces that hold the universe together, from the gravity that grounds us to the electromagnetism that lights up our world. Step into the realm of spacetime, where black holes devour stars and time itself can slow down. Explore the laws that govern energy and matter, and marvel at exotic states like superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates. Illuminate your understanding of light, from its wave-like nature to its quantum...

The Physics Book sets out more than 80 key concepts and discoveries that have defined the subject and influenced our technology since the beginning of time. With the focus firmly on unpicking the thought behind each theory - as well as exploring when and how each idea and breakthrough came about - seven themed chapters examine the history and developments in areas such as energy and matter, and electricity and magnetism, as well as quantum, nuclear, and particle physics.

For centuries, electricity was seen as little more than a curious property of certain substances that sparked when rubbed. Then, in the 1790s, Alessandro Volta began the scientific investigation that ignited an explosion of knowledge and invention. The force that once seemed inconsequential was revealed to be responsible for everything from the structure of the atom to the functioning of our brains. In harnessing its power, we have created a world of wonders—complete with roller coasters and radar, computer networks and psychopharmaceuticals.

Join Max Axiom for an electrifying adventure to learn all about how power is produced and harnessed for human use. Young listeners will supercharge their knowledge of the shocking world of electricity!

Do you know what electricity is? Fun lyrics and engaging sound effects will teach young physicists that electricity is a kind of energy that gives us light, heat, and power. This fun audiobook will encourage kids to explore the wonders of electricity.

She’s an electrician starting over with her son. New job. New town. New life. He’s a coworker who’s interested in more than her ability to run conduit. The building they’re rewiring was once an insane asylum…but it appears some of the patients never left. If you like a heart-melting romance laced with a healthy dose of supernatural thrills and chills, you’ll love Electricity.

Regenerative medicine has long targeted the impossible - regrowing a diseased organ, or a hand lost in an accident. But biologist Michael Levin thinks an astonishing breakthrough may be within reach. He has resurrected a much-maligned branch of science, and shown that a little-understood process can trigger remarkable feats of regeneration in animals. As his research advances, he's moving us closer to the day when regeneration is possible in people.
