Introduction According to Curie’s Law, the magnetization in a paramagnetic material and an applied magnetic field is directly proportional. When the object is heated, the temperature increases, then the magnetization is inversely proportional to be temperature. This law was discovered by the French physicist named Pierre Curie. That is why it is named Curie’s law. Images Coming soon Curie’s Law Most of the elements combined with the compounds possess paramagnetic nature. It is present in compounds that have palladium, iron, platinum, and some rare elements. The atoms which are made up of these elements of compounds have inner shell electrons ... Read More

Mechanical Energy Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy in an object that is used to do a particular work. In other words, it describes the energy of an object because of its motion or position, or both. Consider the case of an ideal simple pendulum (friction-less). We can say that this system's mechanical energy is a combination of its kinetic and gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange of kinetic and potential energy. When the bob reaches its maximum height, the system's potential energy is the highest, ...

Introduction Various types of energy sources are there that can be divided into different parts. The sun is not only the source of energy. Geothermal energy, nuclear energy, biomass, wind energy, and petrol are some of the other important sources from which energy can be extracted. Based on the characteristic of sustainability, energy is classified into two main types of energy sources. Energy can be extracted from both renewable and non-renewable sources. Conventional and non-conventional sources of energy are two other types of energy sources that play an important role in the consumption and usage of energy. Classification of Energy ... Read More

Introduction A particle's linear momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. A particle's conservation of momentum is a property that any particle has in which the total amount of momentum never changes. Linear momentum of a particle is a vector quantity denoted by $\mathrm{\vec{p}}$ Conservation of Linear Momentum If the net external force acting on a system of bodies is zero, then the momentum of the system remains constant. It is important to remember that the momentum of the system, not the individual particles, is conserved. The momentum of the individual bodies in the system may ... Read More

Introduction Light is known as the form of energy which can reflect sometimes, based on the objects it falls on. In some cases, objects like mirrors or any type of metal that is polished can reflect the light. Moreover, it also occurs only when the rays of light reflect on a surface and reverses the direction. Electromagnetic radiations are an example of light reflection that occurs when the waves encounter a boundary of the surface which does not absorb the energy and results in a reflection of the waves of light. Figure 1: Reflection of light Reflection of Light The ... Read More

Introduction Calorie and Joule are one kind of them. It is proved that when the rate of calories is increased then the value of the joules is increased with a growth rate of 4.2. On the other hand, in case of the value of the calorie decreases then the value of the joule increases at the rate of 4.2 approximately. The unit of work is equal to 107 degrees and it is equivalent to approximately 107 degrees, which are the C.G.S units of the system. The measurement of Joule is similar to the watt-second, which refers to the ... Read More

Introduction In the time when rays come from a source and bounced back, the process is named reflection. The concept of reflection of light was first introduced by Euclid, an ancient Greek Mathematician. At certain times, rays of light often approach a smooth and clear surface and reflect at the same angle. What is the Reflection of light? The reflection mode of light depends on the nature of the surface. After hitting the surface, the rays bounce back in the exact same direction if the surface is polished and smooth (Kittiravechote & Thinarat, 2021). In the case of a rough ... Read More

Introduction The tutorial will be focused on an explanation of the definition of both the terms of physics, electric field followed by defining the term named electric potential. The tutorial will discuss how the information of charge at all points can be responsible for developing high electric potential where no electric field can exist. Based on this particular concept the relation between the electric field and electric potential will be included in this tutorial. What is An Electric Field? Figure 1: Electric field Among the terminology of physics, electric field is conceptualised as a particular electric property that ... Read More

Introduction A charge is a property of matter that causes and experiences electrical and magnetic effects. The basic concept behind charge conservation is that the system's total charge is conserved. It can be defined as: Atoms and molecules make up all of the materials in the world. Normally, all of these atoms and molecules are electrically neutral, with all of their charges balanced. One of the types of charges must be removed in order to electrify a neutral body. A charged body always indicates either an electron deficit or an electron surplus. Electrons are assumed to be negatively charged. By ... Read More

Introduction Particle accelerators assist in accelerating the constitutional particles such as protons or electrons to very high velocity. Ernest Lawrence made the first particle accelerator in 1930 at California University. Many scientists utilise particle accelerators to acknowledge the universe's origin and research the subatomic world structure around the people. Particle accelerators help scientists to advance the research work in environmental cleanup, medicine and more. Particle accelerators are extremely beneficial and help in the advancement in different fields. At CERN, a particle physics experiment was initiated where WWW (World Wide Web), data handlings, and robotics was developed. Particle accelerators ... Read More
