Electromagnetic Spectrum and its types!

    Electric Charges         We live in a place of visible and invisible rays of radiation. These radiations are originated from sources that possess an  electromagnetic field. An electromagnetic field is a combination of both electric and magnetic fields. Every particle has a charge which makes it to have an electric field around it. This electric field is produced from charged particles like protons and electrons. This electric field surrounds the charged particle as long as the particle possesses the charge. The magnetic field is produced when the charged particles are in motion , such that all the charged particle points in the same direction and constitute the magnetic field. A moving charged particle also creates an electric field in combination with the magnetic field, thus producing together as an electromagnetic field. This process can be simply demonstrated by passing electricity through a conductor. When passing electricity, the electrons in the conductor will be in motion

Construction and working principle of Nuclear based thermal power plant!

        One of the most demandable sources in the world is electricity. This electricity is generated by numerous power plants across the world. These power plants use various sources to generate electricity. These sources are classified as conventional and non-conventional sources. Conventional source uses fossil fuels to generate electricity whereas non-conventional uses renewable sources like sun, wind, and water to generate electricity. Conventional sources offer more efficiency than non-conventional sources. One of the best conventional sources, that satisfy’s the 60% of the world’s needs is, the coal-based thermal power plant.   On our previous topic, we have seen about the construction and operation of the coal-based thermal power plant. Please visit the article for a detailed explanation of the coal-based thermal power plant. https://sciencetopic03.blogspot.com/2021/10/how-thermal-power-plant-works-coal-based.html      The coal-based thermal power plant uses coal as its

How does a Quartz Watch Works?

        Time is the leader of the universe. It describes everything. This time, makes us to know our universe better. From the big bang theory to Einstein’s relativity and to all scientific researches depends upon time. Such a time, now rest in our walls and wrist, as clocks and watches. Clocks and watches are ingenious pieces of invention. Without knowing the time we will not know when we are starting and where we are ending. So such a device marks a remarkable place in our life.      There are various types of clocks and watches used in human history, namely, gravity clocks (pendulum clocks), mechanical watches, automatic watches, quartz watches, digital watches, and smart watches. Except for the pendulum, mechanical, automatic watches and all other watches share the common principle of working. Only the output displayed will be varied. We will take an overview of everything and take a deep look over the quartz watches which are widely used nowadays.     Over the past, pendulum cl
