A compelling introduction to electric current, this volume investigates the conducting properties of various materials and goes on to describe ways of producing electric currents. It also describes how electricity is used in the home, in industry, and in the world of communications. Aligned to the Common Core science standards, the text explains moving charge, current and stored charge, resistance and power, direct and alternating currents, and electricity from machines, among other subjects. Nine activities help students understand practical applications. A chapter about Thomas Alva Edison honors his electric light bulb invention and the beginning of the electric age.
What happens when you enter a room and flip the light switch? Why does a cell phone battery run down? This book focuses on electricity, electric currents, and electrical technology. Readers will learn where electric currents come from. They'll discover some of the early pioneers in the field of electricity, including André-Marie Ampère and Alessandro Volta. Students will learn how inventors such as Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla helped bring electricity into homes. Fascinating modern developments in computing and medicine will help readers see that electricity is essential. Colorful photographs and diagrams help make these complex scientific concepts more manageable for elementary readers.
Explains how electric currents are generated as electrons move from one atom to another, how some materials are good conductors of electricity, and how electric currents travel to devices on electric circuits. --
Electric currents are fundamental to the structure and dynamics of space plasmas, including our own near-Earth space environment, or “geospace.”This volume takes an integrated approach to the subject of electric currents by incorporating their phenomenology and physics for many regions in one volume. It covers a broad range of topics from the pioneers of electric currents in outer space, to measurement and analysis techniques, and the many types of electric currents. First volume on electric currents in space in over a decade that provides authoritative up-to-date insight on the current status of research Reviews recent advances in observations, simulation, and theory of electric currents Provides comparative overviews of electric currents in the space environments of different astronomical bodies Electric Currents in Geospace and Beyond serves as an excellent reference volume for a broad community of space scientists, astronomers, and astrophysicists who are studying space plasmas in the solar system.

The brain is one of the most fascinating organs of the body, which delicately controls the thoughts and activities of Man from moment to moment. While much information has been accumulated over the years as to its anatomical and physiological functions, little research has been devoted to determine the effects of electrical fields upon this organ. Therefore, a group of interested researchers formed the Neuro-Electric Society to provide a forum for studying the effects of electrical currents upon the related nuerophysio logical determinates. ~luch of this research has been directed to wards the production of sleep or a state of anesthesia by trans cranially applied electrical currents. The Ne...
