SCIENCE CONCEPT
Electromagnetism is the physical interaction among electric charges, magnetic moments, and electromagnetic fields. An electromagnetic field can be static, slowly changing, or form waves. Electromagnetic waves are generally known as light and obey the laws of optics and Electromagnetic devices are used ubiquitously in modern society.
I will be using a small Tesla coil, which is a radio frequency oscillator that drives an air core double tuned resonant transformer to produce high voltages at low currents. I will also be using a light bulb to show that you don't need physical contact to illuminate the light and I will show that a small amount of electricity is not dangerous to the human body by putting my hand close to the Tesla coil. |
APPLICATION
Electromagnetism is used in everyday life like in your car, phone, oven, microwave, your body, lights, and very many other things. Electromagnets are also employed in industry for picking up and moving heavy iron objects such as scrap iron and steel.
Electromagnetism is used in the remote control, neon and fluorescent lights, wireless transmission, computers, smartphones, laser beams, x-rays, robotics, alternating current, motors, generators, electromechanical solenoids, relays, loudspeakers, hard disks, MRI machines, scientific instruments, magnetic separation equipment, and the basis of our present-day electrical system. |

ESSAY
With Electromagnetism you can have a career in many different fields. Some common job titles in the field of electromagnetism engineering include Electrical Engineer, Electronics Engineer, Electromagnetic Engineer, and Electromechanical Engineer. These professionals work in various industries such as telecommunications, power generation, and transportation. My demonstration shows how electricity can make sound and can put out an electromagnetic field that can light up a light bulb. I used a small Tesla coil to make this demonstration possible.
How to prepare to build or make your own Tesla coil
Consider the size, placement, and power requirements of the Tesla coil before you build it. You can build as large a Tesla coil as your budget allows; however, the lightning-bolt-like sparks Tesla coils generate heat and expand the air around them in essence, creating thunder. Their electric fields can also play havoc with electronic devices, so you'll probably want to build and run your Tesla coil in an out-of-the-way place, such as a garage or other workshop. You will also want to consider whether it makes more sense to build a Tesla coil from a kit, or gather materials from scratch. Both have advantages and disadvantages in the areas of cost, building time, resources for help, and reliability.
You'll need a power supply transformer, a high-capacitance primary capacitor, and high-frequency noise pulses created when the Tesla coil operates. You can make a Tesla coil itself, you would want to use copper wire with a high conductivity and low resistance, such as magnet wire or Litz wire. The gauge of the wire and the number of turns in the coil will depend on the desired resonant frequency and overall size of the coil.
Your power supply transformer determines how large you can make your Tesla coil. Most Tesla coils operate with a transformer that puts out a voltage between 5,000 to 15,000 volts at a current between 30 and 100 milliamperes. You can obtain a transformer from a college surplus store or from the Internet, or cannibalize the transformer from a neon sign. The best way to create this capacitor is to wire a number of small capacitors in series so that each capacitor handles an equal share of the total voltage of the primary circuit. This requires that each individual capacitor have the same capacitance as the other capacitors in the series.
