Introduction Spherical mirrors are commonly used in daily human lives starting from making automobile headlights to torch. The mirror involves two spherical surfaces, convex and concave in order to form a true shepherd. A spherical mirror is commonly made from the cut-outs of spherical surfaces. This type of mirror has a major function in terms of creating images by following a certain formula of reflection and magnification in real-time. What is Spherical Mirror A spherical mirror can be defined as a mirror that incorporates a hollow sphere while creating its reflecting surface while creating reflections and images. A spherical mirror ... Read More

Introduction The speed-time graphs are commonly used while showcasing the basic difference between time and velocity in real-time. Whenever speed is constant with zero acceleration, a speed-time graph is drawn in order to outline the difference between speed and velocity there. Under different circumstances, where speed and velocity are present, the speed-time graphs intervene to help in understanding the difference between those two in real-time. Definition of Speed-Time Graphs The speed-time graphs are extremely useful graphs used in determining an object's movement at a certain point in time. It allows people to see, at what speed an object is moving ... Read More

Introduction Have you seen a bolt of lightning before a thunderstorm on rainy days? Did your elders tell you not to touch electronic devices with wet hands? You must have seen electronic appliances like a television, refrigerator, air conditioner, and mixer at your home. Do they work automatically? Or do they need some energy to work? Yes. This energy is known as electricity. The above example of the bolt of lightning is also electricity. When we touch electronic devices with wet hands, we may get shocked due to the electric supply. This is why we should not touch electronic appliances ... Read More

Introduction Any kinds of movements or changes that are noticed with respect to the time and position of a body in motion. However, motion or movement can take place on a straight line or it may be within a circular pathway. The motion is known as a translation if the body is said to be moving in a straight or a curved line. On the other hand, the motion that changes the body orientation is known as rotational movements. It is noted that both these two types of motions are noticed in general kinds of examples such as bouncing balls, ... Read More

Introduction Rare earth magnets were discovered in the 1970s and 1980s and are regarded as magnificent types of permanent magnets. The magnet's structure is formed from the rare elements that do not exist on this earth. The electron's arrangement in the elements of rare earth lets them develop the powerful magnetic fields of magnets. Physicists demonstrated that rare elements of the earth are extremely expensive; however, the fields of magnets are so strong that magnets can be made very small. The fields of a magnet are created by the rare earth magnets that are much more powerful as compared to ... Read More

Introduction A parallel plate capacitor is also called the simple form of capacitor. This kind of capacitor can be formed by using two metals or foil plates which are placed parallel to each other. The value of capacitance of the two parallel plates is fixed by the surface area of the conductive plates and the distance between the plates. Any alteration in the values causes alteration between these two particles. In this tutorial the parallel plate capacitors will be discussed further What are Parallel Plate Capacitors? The parallel plate capacitors are the simple types of capacitors in existence. These capacitors ... Read More

Introduction Static electricity is applied to multiple purposes in daily human lives starting from attractions between objects to repulsion between different objects. Static electricity is commonly generated when objects come into contact. As the electrons stay stationary during the attraction between objects, it generates static electricity in the process. Static ions can be seen through extra ions present in the air. In simple words, when two objects create an attractive force between each other, it leads to the formation of static electricity in the process. What is Static Electricity? Static electricity is a common electric phenomenon where charged particles are ... Read More
