Is geothermal a source of electricity? Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because heat is continuously produced inside the earth. People use geothermal heat for bathing, to heat buildings, and to generate electricity. Is geothermal energy harmful to humans? When done properly, yes. As with any industrial project there are risks involved, but when […]
What materials can you use for magnetic particle inspection?
What materials can you use for magnetic particle inspection? Common metallic materials like nickel, iron, steel, and cobalt are all ferromagnetic and perfect candidates for magnetic particle testing. Where is magnetic particle testing used? Magnetic particle inspection is used for detecting defects (discontinuities in surfaces and shallow subsurfacaes) in ferromagnetic materials. By magnetization of the […]
Is selective coordination required?
Is selective coordination required? Selective coordination is required for systems related to life safety (as defined in the NEC), and is achieved when an overcurrent on a circuit is interrupted and only the closest upstream device opens such that only the section of the electrical system with a problem is taken offline. What is selective […]
Why there is a need for scientific knowledge in education?
Why there is a need for scientific knowledge in education? Problem-solving and critical thinking are two of the most important skills students learn in school. In this way, science is one of the most important subjects students study, because it gives them the critical thinking skills they need in every subject. What is the impact […]
What is the treatment when cell division goes wrong?
What is the treatment when cell division goes wrong? Medicines that are used to treat cancer are sometimes aimed at killing cells that are rapidly dividing by mitosis. They inhibit the synthesis or function of DNA – this type of treatment is called chemotherapy. What will happen if mitosis go wrong? If the process of […]
How do we use refraction in everyday life?
How do we use refraction in everyday life? Refraction of light can be seen in many places in our everyday life. It makes objects under a water surface appear closer than they really are. It is what optical lenses are based on, allowing for instruments such as glasses, cameras, binoculars, microscopes, and the human eye. […]
What are the advantage of rotation magnetic field?
What are the advantage of rotation magnetic field? The advantages of rotating field system are given below. The DC excitation voltage is low and it is very easy to insulate. This intern reduces the size of the machine. c. Out put current can be taken directly from the fixed terminals on the stator. How can […]
Do electrons know they being observed?
Do electrons know they being observed? This process is sometimes referred to as decoherence. We also see phrases such as “wavefunction collapse”. By virtue of such an interaction of a quantum system with a classical measurement device, one could quite misleadingly assert that the electron “knows” it is being observed. It doesn’t. Why do wave […]
What prevents the wrong gas from being connected to the equipment?
What prevents the wrong gas from being connected to the equipment? The connection is marked with a Compressed Gas Association (CGA) number and will be left-hand or right-hand threaded to match the nut or fitting. This prevents a piece of incompatible gas equipment from being connected to the wrong gas supply. Can gas cylinders explode? […]
Is the bottom of the wave?
Is the bottom of the wave? The bottom of a wave is called the trough. The distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is the wavelength. What happens when a deep water wave starts to feel the bottom? As a deep-water wave reaches shore, at the point where the depth of the water […]
