Hans Christian Ørsted

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Hans Christian Ørsted was a Danish physicist and chemist who is most widely known for observing that electric currents induce magnetic fields, an important aspect of electromagnetism. He shaped post-Kantian philosophy and advances in science throughout the late 19th century.








•Faraday and Henry performed lots of experiments to learn about the connection between electricity and magnetism. The results of these experiments have led to the life styles of today's men, who made life easy by using lots of electrical applications.

The research that established Faraday as the foremost experimental scientist of his day was, however, in the fields of electricity and magnetism. In 1821 he plotted the magnetic field around a conductor carrying an electric current; the existence of the magnetic field had first been observed by the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted in 1819. In 1831 Faraday followed this accomplishment with the discovery of electromagnetic induction and in the same year demonstrated the induction of one electric current by another.








•Electromagnetic induction- is the production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field.

•They use electromagnet, magnet and galvanometer in their experiment.

Music

Thursday, January 21, 2010


Music is nourishment to the soul
Music is a feeling you can't control
You can sing along or just plain listen
But if you don't do either, you don't know what you're missing.
Music can define you, even when there are no words.
Music can silent, but still sound as sweet birds.
Music can make you laugh, or music can make you cry.
Music can be funny, or talk of someone who died.
Music is for everyone loves music.
Music is the key!

Sunflakes


If sunlight fell like
snowflakes,
gleaming yellow and so
bright,
we could build a sunman,
we could have a sunball
fight,
we could watch the
sunflakes
drifting in the sky.

We could go sleighing
in the middle of July
through sundrifts and
sunbanks,
we could ride a sunmobile,
and we could touch
sunflakes
I wonder how they'd feel.

Five Pillars of Islam is the term given to the five duties incumbent on every Sunni Muslim and this five practices are essential to Sunni Muslim. These are SHAHADAH which means the profession of faith, SALAH (prayers), ZAKAT (giving of alms), SAWNM (fasting, specifically during Ramadan) and the fifth one is Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca).
