Conductor (ELECTRICal)

Image
The term "conductor" has many different meanings in different contexts, but in electrical terminology, it refers to a material that allows electricity to pass through it. Those materials are usually metals, which have free electrons in them that come into motion when an external force (electromotive force) is applied between their terminals. The tendency to pass electricity through it is known as conductivity. This conductivity depends upon the resistance offered by the material. And based on their conductivity, the electrical conducting materials have been classified into conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. Recalling a few chemistry concepts, "an atom" is the basic constituent of all matter (whether elements or compounds), according to the modern atomic model theory. According to Rutherford's atomic model, an atom consists of a nucleus in the centre surrounded by orbiting electrons (negatively charged), as seen in the below figure. The electrons have ...

Vampire Appliances (Understand and SAVE)

Image
  If we search for the word "vampire" on the internet, we will usually get some unwanted results, so we always ignore them. That ignorance results in a hike in our daily power consumption. Furthermore, our monthly expenses have also increased. So, to understand more about the vampire things in day-to-day life, let's rethink our daily activities. Instead of turning off and unplugging our mobile phone charger, we will get out of bed, disconnect the phone from the charger, and continue our last night's conversations and begin postings. And we power off the air conditioner and fan using the remote button or mobile phone apps logically, but we will never physically switch off their power supply. Next, we will put on our geyser, have our bath, and not bother about the power socket switch connected to it. Later that day, we go to the television and start watching the content just using the smart devices' voice commands, while we don't even know where the power swit...
