influence that the potential difference will have on the current of an electric circuit. Investigative Question: What would the effect of the change in potential difference have on the current of the circuit, if the temperature in the circuit remains constant? Hypothesis: By decreasing the resistance in the electric circuit we will be increasing the total potential difference in the circuit and will therefore directly strengthen the current in the circuit. The relationship between potential difference and

such as: action potential, membrane potential, summation, propagation and how different neurotoxins were affected. The occurrence of action potential is a very short process. When action potential occurs in the neuron the sodium channels open along the axon and sodium comes in. Because the sodium is positive it make the inside of the axon positive. When both the inside and outside are comparative in charge the sodium storms rushing in and starts the depolarization of the action potential. After this
the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its position or state. Kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another, in case of collisions. Potential energy cannot be transferred. Thus, the potential energy is stored in the object due to its position, whereas the kinetic energy is possessed by an object due to motion. Eg: A ball kept on the edge of the table possesses potential energy due to its height, whereas a ball falling
outweighed it’s costs. This point will gain a painful clarity in the years to come if the predictions of some meteorologists come true and the effects of global warming are felt. For years developing societies have been taking enormous amounts of potential energy locked within pressurized biomass that took millions of years to store in the Earth’s crust and releasing it into today’s world. The Earth is a relatively closed system and the enormous release of spent energy and its polluting byproducts
Definition A sensory receptor is a structure that reacts to a physical stimulus in the environment, whether internal or external. It is a sensory nerve ending that receives information and conducts a process of generating nerve impulses to be transmitted to the brain for interpretation and perception. Sensory receptors vary in classifications but generally initiate the same process of registering stimuli and creating nerve signals. Classifications Stimulus modality is defined as an aspect of a stimulus
lives. To refrigerate food, turn on the lights, heat up the stove, walk to school, drive a car, etc. All these activities require some form of energy. Energy is so The types of energy can assist in proving the importance of energy in general. First, potential energy is useful because everything has dormant energy in their composition or energy gained from increase in vertical distance. This allows for structural supports added for increase in distance and chemical reactions that allow for oxygen, water
Water is considered the most abundant compound material on the planet, and is also essential for all living habitants. Two thirds of our world’s surface is made up of water and close to 70 percent of the earth is made up of human beings, thus there is a clear sight that water is the prime element which is responsible for life on earth. No matter the essence, water is a resource we cannot do without especially to maintain a certain quality of life. As a society we need to do everything that we can
The Enlightenment and the Electric Battery This paper is a discussion of the role played by the ideals of the Enlightenment in the invention and assessment of artifacts like the electric battery. The first electric battery was built in 1799 by Alessandro Volta, who was both a natural philosopher and an artisan-like inventor of intriguing machines. I will show that the story of Volta and the battery contains three plots, each characterized by its own pace and logic. One is the story of natural

is carbon dioxide (CO2). Up to 95% of the CO2 produced is the result of natural processes (Burnett & Matthews Jr., 1998). The rest is a direct result of human activity, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels in the production of energy Potential Effects of High Atmospheric CO2 Levels The major effect most scientists fear as the result of increased levels of CO2 in our atmosphere is global warming. By blocking the heat reflected from the Earth's surface, greenhouse gases are able to warm
The Impact of the Electric Guitar on Music Everyone has moments when they feel as if they have found the wrong place. Now, it was time for one young gentleman to partake in one of these moments. A salesman had an appointment for a meeting with a wealthy man, yet he found himself wondering if he had arrived at the correct office. This was supposed to be a millionaire’s office, yet as he looked around the room, he saw no leather couches or expensive desks. In fact, the room was sparsely furnished
transfers into light energy which is turning the flash light on. Same example for food. We eat food every day to give us some type of energy. The food we eat is stored energy which is a chemical energy/potential energy. When you eat the stored energy it gives you energy to do work. You can also change electric energy into light and heat
process of converting the acoustic energy of sound into some form in which it can be permanently stored and reproduced at any time. In 1855 the inventor Leon Scott constructed a device called a phonautograph that recorded tracings of the vibrations of sound. Thomas Edison, starting about 1877, made great improvements in mechanical sound recording and was the first inventor to achieve the actually audible reproduction of recorded sound. The greatest advances, however, were made after the adoption
