Practical Applications of Reflection of Sound - Some applications of the principle of Reflection of Sound are: (1) Megaphone, (2) Hearing Board, (3) Sound Board..

Practical Applications of Joule's Heating - This heating is inevitable in any electrical circuit. Since the energy lost by the flowing charges ends up as disorderly thermal motion, the phrase 'ohmic dissipation' is also used to describe it. Often, this is an undesirable effect. For exampl..

Another unit of force by which the magnitude of force can be understood and gauged, is the gravitational unit of force. A gravitational unit of force is that force with which the Earth attracts a body of unit mass towards its centre. A gravitational unit of force may also be defined as that force w..

Nuclear Reactor - Nuclear reactor is a furnace or an equipment in which the nuclear chain reaction is carried out in a controlled manner and the heat energy so liberated is converted into electricity. Boiling Water type Nuclear React..

Megaphone: Megaphone is a horn-shaped tube. The sound waves are prevented from spreading out by successive reflections and are confined to the air in the tub..

This heating is inevitable in any electrical circuit. Since the energy lost by the flowing charges ends up as disorderly thermal motion, the phrase 'ohmic dissipation' is also used to describe i..

In some cases of practical importance, symmetry considerations make it possible to use Amperes law to compute the magnetic field caused by a certain current carrying conduct..

One desirable feature of radio transmission is that it should be carried without wires (i.e.,) radiated into space. At audio frequencies, radiation is not practicable because the efficiency of radiation is poor. However, efficient radiation of electrical energy is possible at high freque..

Microwaves play an important role in telecommunications. The artificial satellites have made it possible to transmit signals from one point on Earth to practically any other point on Earth. The signals from a broadcasting station on Earth are beamed towards an artificial satellite, which..

An oscillator, in actual practice, almost always lies in a resisting medium, like air, oil etc., where part of its energy is dissipated in overcoming the opposing frictional or viscous forces and its amplitude, therefore, goes on decreasing progressively. Such forces, which are non-..
