Electric Charge

Electrostatics is the branch of science dealing with the static electricity i.e. electricity at rest The knowledge of various laws which governs the behaviour of static electricity is essential. It is essential in the design and applications of insulation(particularly for high voltages). In the study of causes of lightning and protection against it and in the design and operation of transmission lines. Therefore, in this blog we shall briefly discuss some of the fundamental laws of electrostatics. Electric charge possess two different forms first when it is static second when it is moving. Electric charge exhibits two different properties in two different forms when it is stable state and when it is moving. When it is moving it shows properties like Electric current, Magnetic effect,Heating effect, Electromagnetic Induction and so on. Definitions: Electrostatics: Electrostatics is the branch of electricity in which properties of static (non-moving) electri

Ancient Electrical Knowledge

Most of the modern people around the world might give credit to Mr. Benjamin Franklin for his discovery of electricity,but if we go thousands of years back in an ancient civilization living near the banks of saptasidhu river called as aryans presently India electicity has its mention in Atharva veda (one of the four vedas) written by hindu sages back in 1500 - 1000 B.C. Atharva Veda is sometimes called the vedas of magical formulas, apart from atharva veda rigveda also has a mention of electricity it says, " Electricity is hidden in water and when it comes out it spreads light and provides electricity." (1.16.5).  (1.85.5;188.1) " It describes use of electricity in weapons and telegraphy, the word Indra or vidhyut is used to denote electricity in vedas. Atharva veda has many other significant aspect of science like medicinal plants, healing practices, consciousness etc. also it takes into account of electricity. thanks to Dr. Ashok Tiwari an Electrical Engineer who

Industry before Industrial Revolution

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is the most significant and advanced revolution that have taken place in the entire history of the world; but how it all started and what was that thing because of which we all are experiencing this most advance revolution Industry 4.0. World before Industrial Revolutions: Before the dawn of industrial revolution the world was quite different to the one that exists today. there were no new roads, and obviously vehicles,trains etc. The main problem prevailing was the lack of communication modes. Now-a-days we are communicating with people living far away from us via internet; but at those times news were spread by travellers or through messengers. As there was no mechanised transport system transportation was in vain. It was very difficult for the peoples to travel over the larger distances as there were only bullockcarts present. Livelihood was entirely dependent on agriculture at that time and no jobs. At at those times education was a rare
