Nikola Tesla. The Missing Secrets Of Nikola Tesla. Talk:Coulomb. ChipDB - integrated circuit quick reference. Electrical curriculum: What is Voltage? 1998 William J. Beaty Of several electricity concepts, the idea of "voltage" or "electrical potential" is probably the hardest to understand. It's also really tough to explain. It's a headache for both the student and the teacher. <GRIN! Most of us are familiar with magnetic fields. There is another type of invisible field besides magnetism. Most people know about magnetic fields but not about e-fields or "voltage fields. " The Simple Math Behind "Voltage" To be a bit more specific, Voltage is a way of using numbers to describe an electric field. When you have e-fields, you have voltage.

How High is my Voltage? Can an object have a certain voltage? Well, please tell what my distance is. Un-twisting the Terminology You've probably heard of electromagnetic fields and electromagnetism. Besides not being found in elementary school science books, Voltage is also missing from our everyday language. Perhaps we should change the word "Electromagnetism" into "Voltagemagnetism? " Electromagnetic Duality.

About HyperPhysics Rationale for Development HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation.

For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network. The bottom bar of each card contains links to major concept maps for divisions of physics, plus a "go back" feature to allow you to retrace the path of an exploration. The side bar contains a link to the extensive Index, which itself is composed of active links. That sidebar also contains links to relevant concept maps. Part of the intent for this exploration environment is to provide many opportunities for numerical exploration in the form of active formuli and standard problems implemented in Javascript. New content for HyperPhysics will be posted as it is developed. HyperPhysics.
