Dipole Antenna
The basic structure of the antenna comes from a capacitor. An antenna is a device for sending and receiving electromagnetic waves. A typical dipole antenna has the form of a wire with both ends cut off. … more

Direct Current(DC) and Alternating Current(AC)
Direct Current, DC In direct current (DC), current flows in only one direction of a conductor. For example, since a battery’s terminals always maintain a constant pole, current flows in only one direction in an electrical … more
Stair Switch
What if only one switch was installed on the stairs? Suppose there is only one light switch at the top of the stairs. What if You trying to descend the stairs presses a switch to descend … more
The principle of a transistor
Transistor There are so many switches inside your computer that you can’t imagine. It’s not the hand-pressed switch we’ve been seeing. It is a switch operated by an electrical signal. The computer counts ‘1’ and ‘0’ … more
What if the water molecule have a straight structure?
The structure of the water molecule Water is a representative ‘polar molecule’. The hydrogen-oxygen-hydrogen bonds that make up the water molecule have an angle of 104.5˚ and appear curved. Because of this unbalanced water molecule structure, … more
Energy Band of Metal
Energy band and band gap of atom According to Niels Bohr’s atomic model, electrons subordinate to an atomic nucleus do not have continuous energy. Electrons can only have sparsely defined energies. This is why lines in … more
Separation of Steel and Aluminum
How can you classify iron and aluminum? Iron cans stick well to the magnet. However, aluminum cans do not stick well to magnets. If the conveyor belt’s last wheel is a magnet, the iron cans are … more
Inductor and Capacitor 3
High frequency alternating currents are difficult to pass through the inductor. An inductor is a part made by winding a wire. In the case of direct current, the inductor only works as a lead. When an … more
Inductor and Capacitor 2
High frequency alternating currents are difficult to pass through the inductor. An inductor is a part made by winding a wire. In the case of direct current, the inductor only works as a lead. When an … more
Inductor and Capacitor
Why does the current gradually increase in an inductor? As current starts to flows through the inductor, a magnetic field is created around the inductor. This magnetic field’s change generates an electromotive force. Due to the … more
Charge Distribution on a thin Conductive Plate
Charge Distribution on a thin Conductive Plate Charges on the conductor plate are assumed to be (-). The thickness of the conductor plate is assumed to be very thin. Charges on the conductor plate can move … more
Magnetic Induction
Magnetic Induction When the magnet is placed close to the clip, the clip sticks. And when the magnet is attached to the refrigerator, it does not fall. Also, when two magnets are brought close together, they … more
