Introduction Ampere’s law placed a milestone for the development of Electrodynamics. Hans Oersted in 1920 performed a classic experiment with a compass needle and current carrying conductor. He observed that if there is no current in the wire then the compass needle always points towards the north pole. However, in ... Read More

Introduction Our universe is 13.8 billion years old, on average. The age of the earliest stars and the rate of the universe's expansion was calculated by scientists to arrive at that number. Edwin Hubble discovered in 1924 that the speed at which astronomical objects travel apart is a function ... Read More

Introduction AC voltage is caused by an alternating current. The change in magnetic flux, when a current-carrying conductor is allowed to rotate in a magnetic field, induces an alternating voltage in the coil. This is known as induced electromotive force. The inductor is a coil of wire in which back ... Read More

Introduction Thermal energy or heat energy is transferred from one object to another. This may happen due to three different possibilities. They are conduction, convection, and radiation. In the conduction process, the energy is transferred from one object to another without the movement of the particles. In the convection process, ... Read More

Introduction In an electrical circuit, the main components are current, voltage, and resistance. The electric current is the flow of charge. The voltage supply works as the energy source for these charges for movement. We can understand the concept of potential by taking the example of water flow. Water always ... Read More
