How Do Microphones and Speakers Work? | Maxwell's Equations in Action

Просмотров 22 тыс.6 лет назад

Microphones and speakers take advantage of phenomena described mathematically in the late 1800s. Maxwell's last two equations (Faraday's and Ampere's laws) describe how electricity can lead to magnetism and vice versa. It's this reciprocal relationship that we use in these devices.

Hotspots are areas of volcanic activity in the middle of tectonic plates. The movement of plates over these hotspots leads to seamount formation which are clearly visible from satellite images. Hawaii is just one example. Music Credit: Crinoline Dreams by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

How Does Soap Work?

Просмотров 68 тыс.6 лет назад

Soap works because of the power of intermolecular forces. One end of it is polar and the other is non-polar, allowing it to emulsify grease into water. Check out the video for more details!

What Aspirin's Past Teaches Us About Experimental Design

Просмотров 2846 лет назад

Aspirin's rise to prominence in the form of willow bark is closely linked with another drug, quinine, in the form of Peruvian bark. Edward Stone saw that willow bark reduced the fevers of those suffering from malaria and concluded that it was as efficacious as a Peruvian bark. Fast forward a few centuries, and we now know that aspirin was simply treating the fevers, while quinine was treating t...
