Conversely, everyone has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. It is morally justifiable to peacefully resist unjust laws; unjust laws do not change because a court or government decides; they change because people stand united together to make change happen. The governments of today make laws that self

Resistance of a Piece of Wire
Planning In this piece of coursework, I am going to investigate what affects the resistance of a piece of wire. Wire is made up of atoms. Electric current is a flow of electrons, and it is these electrons that collide with the nucleus of the atoms. Every time this happens, it causes resistance. The build up of friction is what produces the heat. There are many variables that could affect the resistance of the piece

Native American Acculturation or Resistance
The Indians had two choices when grappling with the issue of western migration: acculturate or resist. Looking back on history, examples can be seen where both strategies worked, and there are also counterexamples for each. For the Indians, acculturation would bring a peaceful transition from Indian culture to American culture. However, if the Indians decided resistance would be effective then a more violent future would hold true. Based on the effectiveness of Cherokee acculturation and

Current and Resistance of a Wire and the Affects When the Length Changes
Current and Resistance Physics Investigation Aim: Investigate how the length of a wire affects the current and resistance of a wire. Prediction and Hypothesis: I think as you increase the length of the Constatan wire, you also increase the amount of resistance. The current is the flow of electrons; the current is dependent on the amount of voltage, which is applied. Voltage is the push given to the current. The current has to go through

Saving Electrical Energy
“Electrical Energy Consumption” Sustainability and electricity Where does electricity come from? Most people use electricity and see it as something that is infinite and probably don’t give a second thought about its source. This is quite understandable, considering electricity looks clean; it doesn’t cause any noise pollution or direct air pollution. The fact is that most electricity is produced by burning coal, and the use of nuclear power plants. Simply stated, the more electricity

Resistance Basic Guide
A basic guide to resistance. Electron Flow Model Everything is made of very small particles called atoms. Each atom has a heavy positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by a cloud of light, negatively charged, electrons. In metals, the outer most electron of each atom is weakly attracted to the positive nucleus and can escape from the atom and wander around between the atoms. [Note 1] So, in metals, we have all these millions and

Steel Plant Eaf Electrical System
The modern steel plant receives low current, high voltage power from the generators of the electrical utility company. The purpose of the steel plant primary transformer is to step-down this voltage. The transformer thus provides high current, low voltage power for the EAF furnace. Large furnaces with transformers rated at 100MVA or higher is not uncommon. There are usually two stages to this process. The transformer first steps-down the voltage from high to medium levels.

Resistance of a Wire
Task To investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Resistance is a force which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit so that energy is required to push the charged particles around the circuit. The circuit itself can resist the flow of particles if the wires are either very thin or very long. e.g. The filament across an electric light
