Introduction A circuit is the most important factor here and it works during the time of connecting the resistors in a parallel situation. It is seen that the potential difference in parallel circuit remains the same for every resistor but the flow of current is not the same within the resistor. The calculation of the total current flow is done by swimming up the flow of currents through each resister. The applications of the parallel circuits have been seen in the household electric distribution. This kind of circuit is preferred for application for the avoidance of short circuits and ...

Introduction In the time of conversion of given galvanometer into a voltmeter having the desired range, it is seen that the resistance joins with the series of galvanometer. The experiment says that the determination of the resistance of a galvanometer happens through the half-deflection method and it helps to find the figure of the merit. Aim of conversion There is an aim for the conversion and it says that the conversion of known resistance and figure of merit into a voltmeter of desired range is done for the verification of the same (Learncbse, 2022). Therefore, it is seen that the ... Read More

Introduction Potentiometer experiment appears as a regular test for comparing the electromotive force (EMF) of two given primary cells. This experiment is commonly used for saving the external environment with its measurement and comparison of the EMF of two primary cells at a given time. The primary cell is categorised between the Daniel cells and the Leclanche cells which allows the assessment of the EMF of two cells in real-time. What is Potentiometer Experiment? Potentiometer experiment is conducted through a device that is used for measuring the potential differences within a circuit. The potentiometer is mostly used for measuring the ... Read More

Introduction Time is the concept of "event progression" and is quite hard to understand and define, as its definition is different in the philosophy of every religion. The clock that is based on minutes, seconds and hours measures time. The units of time kept on changing since ancient Sumeria. The famous scientist Einstein proposed the relational "theory of time". Concerning which Aristotle mentioned that there is no "time" apart from the "change". Time mainly follows a universal rhythm of tick-tock. In the "theory of relativity, " this tick-tock rhythm is not mentioned and it has been mentioned that ... Read More

Introduction It is quite difficult to define the aspect of time, but it is referred to as the measurable quantity that displays a series of ongoing and continuous sequences for events. It is noted that measuring time was not something new and from ancient times, several inventions were conducted. As per the records, in ancient Egypt, inventions of sundials were to be found that was before''1500 ``. It needs to be noted that the measurement of time calculated now is quite different from those times in ancient Egypt, with their different parameters. Definition of time Figure 1: Theory ...

Introduction The thermal properties of the materials are observed when the solid body absorbed the energy from the heat. After the heat absorption, the temperature of the materials is increased and the dimensions of the materials increased as well. The properties of the materials with the application of heat are the rate of heat capacity, thermal expansion, as well as thermal conductivity. Thermal stress is also considered a significant property of the material properties. What are the thermal properties of materials? The thermal properties of the material are dependent on several components like the specification of heat, heat capacity ... Read More

Introduction Each member of a metallic structure is impacted by thermal expansion. The thermal deformation is generated as a result of changes in the surrounding temperature. Being impacted by an external force, a body may get deformed. The range and amount of deformation very much depend on different types of molecular attraction of a particular body. As a result of deformation, each significant internal force of a body plays an important role in bringing back this state in its initial state. What is thermal stress? Stress is a significant force that acts per unit area. At a certain time when ... Read More

Introduction The thermal expansion of solid objects is observed when the temperature increases. The expansion of solid objects at a high temperature refers to as the thermal expansion of solids. A fractional change in terms of volume and height is seen. For example, it is commonly seen a gap between the railway track just because of the excessive temperature of the sun and the wheel of the trail the thermal expansion can be seen. In general, linear and coefficient expulsion can be seen on solid objects. On a solid object, the thermal expansion can be seen in terms of ... Read More

Introduction Sound waves shows a variety of properties that are displayed by waves, however, specifically, it displays the notions of frequency, pitch, timbre and lastly loudness. Timbre out of all these showcases the distinctions of sounds that we perceive. In everyday life, the notion of timbre assists us to make a striking distinction between the several sounds of objects that we perceive. Not only do sounds come from various objects but also we are as well able to distinguish voices coming from different persons due to the timbre quality that is present within sound waves. Definition of timbre The term ... Read More

Introduction Thrust is the perpendicular acting force on the surface and pressure is the exerted thrust "per unit of a body". Newtown is the SI unit used for the calculation of the thrust of an object. According to physics, the force which is applied on a surface can regulate the object’s body movement as a perpendicular force on the surface of the following object. Additionally, thrust is the upward force which is applied on the surface of an object. Define Thrust The acting strength that is vertical to the object’s surface is thrust in physics. It is conveyed by 'T'. ... Read More
