ABUNDANT ELECTRICITY

Water flows from mountain top to valley down. All fluids flow from high pressure to low pressure. Heat flows from high temperature to low temperature. Similarly, the electrons flow from surplus point to starving point. In chemical reactions of a battery, there are more electrons at negative electrode and there is lack of electrons at positive electrode. Then the electrons try to flow from negative to positive electrode. When we connect negative and positive point by a wire, the current (electrons) flow from high electric potential to low electric potential. (Note: Electrons flow from negative to positive end and the conventional current is taken to flow from positive to negative).
Resistance: We know the current flows through the metal wire. The atoms in the metal are never at rest. They vibrate due to temperature. The electrons that move through these vibrating atoms get hits. So the metal atoms offer “resistance” to the current.

So the ohm’s law says,

"Electric current = potential difference between ends/ resistance".It means the electric current increases as the voltage (potential difference) increases. But it decreases as the resistance increases.

If we cool down the conductor (wire), the atomic vibrations slow down. At a particular temperature the atoms may comes to stand still. Then the electrons can fly through the wire without hindrance. Now the resistance of the conductor is almost zero. This conductor is called superconductor. Now, what are the consequences?

Current = Voltage/ resistance = V/0= infinity.

That means, once the current is setup in the superconductor it will go on for a very long time. There will be no loss of energy. In ordinary conductor, the electrons collide with atoms and loss energy in the form of heat and sound. Superconductor is now possible at very low temperature. But, still elusive at normal temperature. Once we have superconductor in room temperature, the electrical energy can be distributed without much loss, appliances can work with less waste. We can make super magnet which can levitate a train and move us fast and many more.

May the research in superconductivity be successful.

Your heart -you do not know

Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

One cannot think of a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' . It balances right hand side and left hand side. It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B) = C 2A+2B = C 2A = C-2B A = C-2B/ 2 In an electronic calculator, the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression or simply calculates. In computer languages, it plays very important role. A = B When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A . After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

How it works-1 An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
