Introduction Electrical circuit is referred to as the pathway that is associated with the transmission of the electric current. However, in this electrical circuit there lies a device that provides current to the charged particles. These charge particles constitute the current, for example, a battery or generator. The electrical circuit includes several devices such as, resistors, batteries, inductors, capacitors, and transistors or switches. However, the electrical circuit is a closed-loop that supports the flow of electrons through the wire. Theory and Circuit diagram Ohm’s Law is referred to as the relation between the current flowing through the circuit and that ... Read More

Introduction According to Hooke’s Law, it can be stated that any kind of displacement and deformation that is noticed within an object seems to be directly proportional to the force applied upon the stated body of load. Following this principle, the spring balance will perform the practical experiment by determining the mass of two different bodies. In this device, a beam is placed in the centre with the support of an agate knife-edge, that rests on the vertical pillar. The device is appropriate for calibrating masses having a range of 10 mg to 1 kg. Theory Figure 1: Beam balance ... Read More

Introduction The distance between an object and the mirror is subject to measure by applying different theories of mirrors and lenses. The law of reflection is one of the essential rules to measure the focal length. In this situation, where the image is formed by the consistency of a surface’s reflection due to the inside curved of a spherical mirror, it will follow the law of reflection of light. In this tutorial, information regarding concave mirrors and the convex lens are subject to discussion. Information about Concave Mirror A reflecting surface of a spherical mirror is curved from the inside ... Read More

Introduction The cohesive forces are the reason which does not allow the glass pane to stick. Surfactants in the detergents are reliable to reduce water’s surface tension. Water is used for cleaning different items regularly with a mixture of detergents as only water cannot clean something as desired. Surfactants are acting in the water as a spreading agent on the grease by connecting water to it, and when the water is disposed of, it brings all the dirt and other unwanted items with it. These behavioural changes are one of the consequences of the surface tension. Surface Tension An attractive ... Read More

Introduction Only a single waveform is not sufficient to define all types of phenomena, available in nature. At a certain time, a pair of light, as well as sound waves, is found to experience interference. At the time of passing through each other, a wave front is created. What is interference? In physics, interference is the net effect of two and more waves’ combinations. Two and more waves are often found to intersect within themselves. Each individual wave has a unique amplitude value (Arjunan, 2019). This value is affected by changes and frequency of interference. Figure 1: Phase difference: δ ... Read More

Introduction The pattern of a cyclone’s circulation varies from different hemispheres. In the northern hemisphere, the direction of a cyclone is anticlockwise. In the southern hemisphere, a cyclone rotates clockwise. The types of destruction can also be separated based on the affected areas’ conditions. What Are Cyclones? According to meteorology, a large-scale air mass is considered a cyclone. This air mass is found to rotate based on a centre at a very low atmospheric pressure. A cyclone is a part of a weather system in which the wind looks to rotate inwardly in a particular area (Chen et al. 2019). ... Read More

Introduction The Work-Energy Theorem outlines that the net completed work by the forces that are applied to the machinery body from external sources that is equivalent to the alternation rate of the kinetic energy of a particular object. The Work-Energy Theorem on an object is done by all of the forces rather than applied to a single force. According to the Work-Energy Theorem, the kinetic energy is mainly defined as the required work power for accelerating the object from the resting phase to a kind of state that required velocity. What is the work-energy theorem? Figure 1: Diagram of work-energy ... Read More

Introduction Van der Waals Equation is commonly known as the Van der Waals Equation for real or a mole of gases that does not follow the law of ideal games. As per the law of ideal gases that are PV = nRT, where P refers to the external or internal pressure applied to the gases, V stands for the volume, and n denotes the number of the moles. In this formula, T denotes the temperature and R stands for the universal gas constant. What is Van der Waals Equation? Van der Waals Equation in terms of real gases denotes the ... Read More

Introduction In the field of solid mechanics, it can be found that twisting a material by applying a torque on it is denoted as a torsion equation or torsion constant. In various ways, torsion can be expressed. Those possible ways are pascals (Pa), Newton-meters (Nm), or even in foot pound-force (ft. lbf). The SI unit of torsion constant is Newton per square meter (N/m2) or pounds per square inch (p/inc2). There the process of wrapping is called distortion occurring simultaneously with the occurrence of twisting in non-circular sections. The traverse becomes harsh while the process of wrapping. The equation of ... Read More

Introduction Generally, motors are categorized into two distinct types because of the nature of their functionality. These two categories are AC motor and DC motor. The AC motors are known to be flexible in terms of speed and these motors are also known to demand a lot less amount of power. The DC motors are known for their feature of cost efficiency because of their feature of consuming of lot fewer units of power in comparison to the AC motors. The DC motors are also known for their easy installation purposes. What is classified as a motor? The motor is ... Read More
