... • Inversely proportional to the length of air gap between the poles. In general, an electromagnet is often considered better than a permanent magnet because it can produce very strong magnetic fields and its strength can be controlled by varying the number of turns in its coil or by changing the cu ...

the electric field
... To investigate the vector nature of an electric field, we will use a negatively charged, metalcoated pith ball, suspended from a string, as the test charge. (The ball will be charged by touching it with a rubber rod that has been rubbed with the fur of a recently deceased rabbit. If this is not avai ...

... Shape 14. “Wheeler” (Old version to new version) The next goal is to make a circular motion. For one turn, Nitinol wire has to pull the wheel from different points. However after the wheel turns 360º, all wires will entangle. Because of this, a rotating ball was put on the wheel and Nitinol wires we ...

J.J. Thomson, Cathode Rays and the Electron Introduction
... As pump technology improved, the appearance of the “spark” within the tube changed. A jumpy purplish stream replaced the spark, and in the 1830s Faraday noticed that a dark spot opened up in the beam near the cathode. By 1870, pump technology had improved considerably and the dark spot had expanded ...

Electric field-induced deformation of polydimethylsiloxane polymers
... The deformation of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) spheres under uniform external electric field was studied experimentally and analytically. In the experiments, 1 mm diameter PDMS spheres with base-to-curing-agent mixing ratios of 10:1 and 60:1 were exposed to uniform external electric field with vary ...

History of electromagnetic theory

For a chronological guide to this subject, see Timeline of electromagnetic theory.The history of electromagnetic theory begins with ancient measures to deal with atmospheric electricity, in particular lightning. People then had little understanding of electricity, and were unable to scientifically explain the phenomena. In the 19th century there was a unification of the history of electric theory with the history of magnetic theory. It became clear that electricity should be treated jointly with magnetism, because wherever electricity is in motion, magnetism is also present. Magnetism was not fully explained until the idea of magnetic induction was developed. Electricity was not fully explained until the idea of electric charge was developed.
