... B. Direct and alternating currents 1. Direct current (DC) is current that flows in only one direction through a wire. 2. Alternating current (AC) reverses the direction of the current flow in a regular way. a. In North America, generators produce alternating current at a frequency of 60 cycles per s ...

... magnetic field is present). We also note that the number of PT bubbles within the Hubble radius is around 6 (γ ≃ 0.15) for QCDPT and around 100 (γ ≃ 0.01) for EWPT. So the maximal correlation length ξmax is equal to 0.08 pc for QCDPT and 6 × 10−6 pc for EWPT. The maximal value of the primordial magn ...

... vol 64, p 064414). Jaubert and Holdsworth calculated that monopoles explain this perfectly. At low temperatures, monopoles do not have enough energy to move freely and so make the magnetic response of the entire system sluggish by just the amount the experiments had found. It seems the elusive mono ...

You have just made a magnet by using electricity. When you disconnected one end of the wire from the battery, the current did ...

Aurora



An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions. Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere), where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes. Different aspects of an aurora are elaborated in various sections below.
