APPLICATIONS OF TESLA The Tesla Coil is a machine for generating extreme high voltages.
It's sort of like the Van De Graff generator, but much more powerful. When you fire it up, the
shiny donut/sphere-shaped part on top is energized with about 500,000 volts of high-frequency
current. The Tesla coil uses high-frequency transformer action together with resonant voltage
amplification to generate potentials in the range of tens to hundreds, or even thousands of
kilovolts. About 100 years ago Nikola Tesla invented his "Tesla Coil", Tesla invented his coil
with the intention of transmitting electricity through the air. He conducted much research in this
area. He purposed using a few coils spread across the globe to transmit clectrical energy
through the carth. Wherever power was needed one would need only a receiving coil to convert
the power into a useful form. Tesla coil circuits were used commercially in spark gap radio
transmitters for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s, and in electrotherapy and pseudo medical
devices such as violet ray. Today, their main use is cntertainment and educational displays.
Tesla coils or resonant transformers of high frequency and high potential have been used in
many commercial applications; the only variation being the high voltage is used to produce an
cffect other than a spark. Although not all commercial applications for Tesla coils are still in use
some historical and modern day applications including: Spark gap radio transmitters Induction
and dielectric heating (vacuum tube & spark gap types) Induction coils (differ only in the
transformer core material being used) Medical X-ray devices (typically driven by an induction
coil) Quack medical devices (violet-ray) Ozonc gencrators Particle accelerators Electrical stage
shows & entertainment Generation of extremely high voltage with relatively high power levels.
RESISTOR A resistor is a component that opposes a flowing current( A resistor of 22k
resistance is used in the project). Every conductor has a certain resisstance if
COMPONENTS one applies a potential difference V at the terminals of a resistor, the current I
passing through it is given by: I=V/R This formula is known as Ohm's Law. The SI unit of resis
tance is Ohm () One can show that the power in J/s) dissipated due to a resistance is equal to
P-VI CAPACITOR A Capacitor is a component that can store energy in the form of an electric
field. Less abstractly, it is composed in its most basic form of two electrodes separated by a
dielectric medium. If there is a potential difference V betwcen those two clectrodes, charges will
accumulate on those clectrodes: a charge Q on the positive them. An electrical ficld therefore
arises between them. If both of the electrodes carry the same amount of charge, one can write:
Q=CV INDUCTOR
An inductor stores the energy in the form a magnetic field. Every electrical circuit is
characterized by a certain inductance. When current flows withina circuit, it generates a
magnetic field B that can be calculated from Maxwell- Ampere's law: Bd (1+ dt MAGNETIC
WIRE Magnet wire or enameled wire is a copper or aluminum wire coated with a very thin layer
of insulation, It is used in the construction of transformers, inductors, motors, speakers, hard
disk head actuators, clectromagnets, and other applications which require tight coils of wire. The
wire itself is most often fully annealed, electrolytic ally refined copper. An aluminum wire must
have 1.6 times the cross sectional area as a copper wire to achieve comparable DC resistance.
Due to this, copper magnet wires contribute to improving energy efficiency in equipment such as
electric motors. BATTERY
An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored
chemical cnergy into clectrical encrgy. Each cell contains a positive terminal, or cathode, and a
negative terminal, or anode. Electrolytes allow ions to move between the clectrodes and
terminals, which allows current to flow out of the battery to perform work. HW HI-We tt Primary
(singlc-uscor "disposable") batteries are used once and discarded; the clectrode materials are
irreversibly changed during discharge. Sccondary (rechargeable batteries) can be discharged
and recharged multiple times; the original compositions of the electrodes can be restored by
reverse current. GENERAL PUPOSE ON/OFF SWITCH ON/OFF switch is used to on or off the
power supply in the circuit. A simple on/off switch is being used in the model.
