I define a hard worker as someone who is willing to struggle and work hard, despite the fact that nobody will notice. Inside this essay, I will explain not only how I match this description, but also exactly how the Kealing Magnet Program is the optimal place for me to meet my goals, and how I will contribute to the community in ways outside of academics. Although my current school, Austin Home Base, has been great, I am ready for something new, and challenging.
With a little stretching, the average physics student should be able to comprehend the principles of magnetic levitation and propulsion through synchronous linear motors. To facilitate the process of understanding this complex material, we suggest that the student go through this web site in order. Make sure you understand the basic physics before moving on to the page which applies these principles to magnetically levitated vehicles.
Acoustic levitation takes advantage of the properties of sound to cause solids,and liquids to float. The process can take place in normal or reduced gravity. To understand how acoustic levitation works, you first need to know a little about gravity, air and sound.
Magnetism is very useful in our daily life. A magnetic field is a mathematical description of the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials. In addition, magnetic field is a region which a magnetic material experiences a force as the result of the presence of a magnet or a current carrying conductor. Current carrying conductors also known as wire. As we know there have north pole and south pole of a magnet. If same pole of magnet approaches each other, there will repel each other. In contrast, if different pole of magnet approaches each other, they will attract. These are same with the electric charge, if same charge it will repel, different charge it will attract. Although magnets and magnetism were known much earlier, the study of magnetic fields began in 1269 when French scholar Petrus Peregrinus de Maricourt mapped out the magnetic field on the surface of a spherical magnet using iron needles [search from Wikipedia]. Noting that the resulting field lines crossed at two points he named those points 'poles' in analogy to Earth's poles. Each magnet has its own magnetic field which experiences a force as the result of the presence of a magnet and magnetic field has made up of magnetic field lines. The properties of magnetic field lines is it begin at the north pole and end at the south pole. The north pole always flow out while south pole always flow in. The closer the magnetic field lines, the strength of magnetic field increases. Furthermore, these line cannot cross each other. Ferromagnetism is the basic mechanism by which certain materials (such as iron) form permanent magnets, or are attracted to magnets. Ferromagnetic materials...

One of the most exciting and magical phenomena observed today in science is the levitation of superconductors in the presence of a magnetic field. While entertaining, this effect is also extremely useful and could combat one of the largest issues facing the world today: how can we continue to transport goods and people without burning fossil fuels which harm the Earth’s atmosphere? Better yet, how can we store energy harvested from renewable sources for long periods of time? The answer could be superconductors in conjunction with powerful magnets.
...quency and the inductor, V˪=IwL. The inductive reactance is found by multiplying the angular frequency by the inductor (X˪=wL). The amplitude of voltage across the inductor in an AC circuit is the current multiplied by the inductive reactance (V˪=IX˪). Once you have found your voltage amplitudes across the circuit, you are able to find the impedance of the circuit. To find the impedance you take the square root of all squares of the resistor plus (the inductive reactance minus capacitance reactance), Z=√R²+(X˪-Xc)². To find the phase angle you take the arctan of the inductive reactance minus the capacitance reactance divided by the resistor, ϕ=arctan(X˪-Xc)/R. The voltage and current is at its maximum is when they are in phase. To find the power, just multiply the current squared by the resistor (P=I²R). No power is loss occurs in an ideal inductor and capacitor.
increases in the opposite or negative direction until it attains maximum negative value at 270 degrees, and finally decreases to zero value again at 360 degrees. It follows, then, that the induced emf can be completely described by the relation.
C. As current is supplied to the coil a voltage is generated in the iron rod. When the current is cut off there is no voltage created.
The solutions using in integro-differential equations have an important role in lots of engineering fields, also in financial problems, physics theories. The major area of integro-differential –equations are especially mechanical engineering, electric-electronic engineering, economics.[5] Boundary conditions are very important for Volterra equations in order to make them more visual. Furthermore the benefit working on boundary conditions is to see excellent satability properties and high accuracy for Volterra equations.[1] In addition, while evaluating integro differential equations, we should consider the situations about nonlinear integro-differential equations. Nonlinear integro differential equations are essential also in several fields. For instance, fluid dynamics, polymer science, population dynamics, thermoelasticity, chemical engineering can be researching area.[2]
The equations of motion form the basic building blocks for any system under consideration. These equations should be formulated as accurately as possible to model the desired system. The δinaccuracies in formulating these equations could result in faulty behaviour of the system which could be very difficult to understand. However, modern control systems are designed to accommodate model inaccuracies to a certain degree. It is very important to ensure that our model is modelled within this range. Errors could also enter the system during the calculation stage due to the precision and number of digits used to represent the values.
Electric currents produce magnetic fields, they can be as small as macroscopic currents in wires, or microscopic currents in atomic orbits caused by electrons. The magnetic field B is described in terms of force on a moving charge in the Lorentz force law. The relationship of magnetic field and charges leads to many practical applications. Magnetic field sources are dipolar in nature, with a north and south magnetic pole. The magnetic field SI unit is the Tesla, it can be seen in the magnetic part of the Lorentz force law F magnetic = qvB composed of (Newton x second)/(Coulomb x meter). The smaller magnetic field unit is the
Magnetism was not studied or utilized before 1821 as it is today. A few hundred years ago people understood how magnets worked, but didn’t have many applications of the magnet because they were limited by the technology of their time. The applications of magnets today have opened a new door as to how we can harness the power of a magnet. I had a basic working knowledge of how magnets worked, such as polarity, but with researching different aspects of the magnet I have learned that we need to advance the potential capabilities of the magnet and fully understand how we can harness the magnet. In my research I looked at how a magnet works, the physics behind a magnet, the magnetic fields of Earth, why can’t magnets be used as energy, and magnets for pain relief benefits.
Electrical motors play an important role in today’s society, from powering domestic appliances like blenders to industrial equipment such as trains. It almost seems impossible to not use an electric motor in our daily lives. In the comfort of our home, electric motors will operate fans, refrigerators, and air conditioners to just name a few. Researchers are constantly looking for new ways to incorporate electrical motors into our lives. Electrical motors function by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy by using the energy stored in the magnetic field (Sarma, 1981).
...placing a soft metal core (commonly an iron alloy) inside a coil of wire through which electric current passes in order to produce a magnetic field. The strength and polarity of the magnetic field changes depending on the magnitude of the current flowing through the wire and the direction of the current flow. While there is sufficient flow of current, the core behaves like a magnet; however, as soon as the current stops, the magnetic properties also disappear. Modern devices that make use of electromagnets are the televisions, telephones, computers and electric motors.
