Conservation of Mechanical Energy

Mechanical Energy Conversion 2

Mechanical energy As the roller coaster descends from a high place, the height decreases, and the speed increases, so the potential energy decreases, and the kinetic energy increases. Therefore, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy while the roller coaster … more

Hypocycloid

Hypocycloid 2

A hypocycloid is a special plane curve generated by the trace of a fixed point on a small circle that rolls within a larger circle. If the radius of a large circle is R, and the radius of a small … more

AC Power Generator

Electromagnetic induction Moving a magnet around a coil changes the magnetic field inside the coil, which causes current to flow through the coil. This phenomenon is called ‘electromagnetic induction’; the current flowing through the coil is ‘induced current.’ The result … more

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic induction Moving the magnet around the inductor will change the inductor’s magnetic field, which will cause the current to flow through the inductor. This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction. The current flowing in the inductor is called the induced … more
