Understanding Faradays Law Chemistry
Understanding Faraday's Law ChemistryFaraday's Law is the same concept that Johnstone's Law of Electricity is but a simplified form. Johnstone's Law states that in an electrical current, electrons have an unbalancing tendency to be in one of their charged states or the other.Once an electron has been attracted, it can not be repelled by another, so you will have no trouble maintaining that current flow. There are two types of electrons. The strong and weak ones.The strong ones have a negative charge, while the weak ones have a positive charge. If you get a regular flow of electrons in any area in your body, it has been proven that the result is a current in your body which is positive on the opposite side and then the flow continues, causing a strong pulse of electricity.However, you can always break this cycle and create a loop that sends electrons in the opposite direction. However, it is difficult to maintain the loop in many situations and even if you manage to maintain it, there may be a lot of conflicts as well as other electrical problems that will occur. However, Faraday's law is the mathematical equation that takes all these situations into consideration and makes it easier for you to understand this cycle. So Faraday's law explains the basics of how to create a loop and how it works.The human body has various voltage which create a way for electrical current to flow through. All things that generate voltage for you in your life can be looked at as a part of your body's electrical system.If you have a blood vessel, that increases the voltage in your body. In fact, the blood provides electricity to almost everything you do, as you need to be on the lookout for these things. You have seen this on tv when they say your heart beats faster if you get enough blood flowing through your system. Also, each nerve that has some activity in it creates a surge of electrical current that can be described as 'your personality'.These are all reasons why you should pay attention to these things and look at a few things as a small number and then take it and apply it in your life. For example, if you lose a muscle in your arm, it is easy to say that you will lose a certain amount of weight. But, you have lost a smaller amount of weight, but have also increased your level of energy.Faraday's law is the rule that states that anything that affects electricity, has a connection to your own brain. Therefore, if you want to maintain your energy levels and make sure that you are at your best, you should keep an eye on your body's clock and make sure that you know when you have enough time to have a good mental workout.

This Young Hockey Player is Making Strides On and Off The Ice
This Young Hockey Player is Making Strides On and Off The Ice This Young Hockey Player is Making Strides On and Off The Ice Connor, 10-years-old, Math Level I âYou donât win by being good. You win with hard work and sacrifice. Without that, skill is just potential.â â" Bobby Orr, Hockey Hall of Famer On May 10, 1970, time stood still as game four of the Stanley Cup Finals went into overtime. The Boston Bruins already had a three-game lead over the St. Louis Blues, but that didnât stop the Bruins from giving it their all â" especially for defenseman, Bobby Orr. With forty seconds of overtime on the clock, Orr scored the Cup-winning goal on Glenn Hall with an assist from his teammate Derek Sanderson. After scoring the goal, Orr soared above the ice with his arms raised in victory. That moment of Orr scoring the goal is one of the most iconic images in the history of professional hockey. The image not only signified the Bruinsâ victory that year, but it truly captured Orrâs perseverance to not give up on his team even in the most challenging moments. 10-year-old Connor has already taken a page out of Bobby Orrâs playbook early in his hockey careerâ"truly understanding the value of hard work and dedication. At a young age, Connor is playing on an elite hockey team, competing against top teams across New England, the Mid-Atlantic states, and Canada. In order to maintain his strength and competitive edge, Connor pours a lot of dedication into daily training and conditioning on the ice. Connor credits his discipline and perseverance to his five-year journey in Kumon. âOne of the most beneficial things Iâve learned in Kumon is perseverance. It helps me to stick with things, even when they become challenging,â said Connor. âI believe if I didnât enroll in the Kumon Math Program and work at it consistently for the past five years, I would not have that academic edge that I do now. Since hockey requires a lot of time for training, I wouldnât be able to have the same level of dedication as I do now if I was struggling in school.â Before entering middle school, Connor has gained an academic edge over his peers. He is already studying high school level math concepts like quadratic equations and the Pythagorean theorem in the Kumon Math Program. Off the ice, Connor takes his athletic ability to different levels participating in other sports, including golf, lacrosse, and baseball. In his free time, he participates in various philanthropic opportunities throughout the year, like Alexâs Lemonade Stand Foundationâs Frozen Lemonade Cup. This annual charity hockey tournament recruits young hockey players of all levels to play to raise awareness and fund research for childhood cancer. Connorâs career on the ice is only just getting started, as he has his sights set on the NHL. âWhen I grow up, I would like to be a doctor, or perhaps an engineer,â said Connor. âMy real dream in life is to play professional hockey, but it is always good to have a back-up plan.â Connorâs achievements and perseverance were recognized, as he was one of 56 students selected to attend the 2019 Kumon Student Conference in Chicago, Illinois. We had the opportunity to speak to Connor about his Kumon journey. What do you enjoy most about Kumon? The thing I enjoy most about Kumon is that it has given me the ability to learn and work independently. At Kumon, I work through math problems without having to rely on a teacher to always help me. Once I understand the material, it boosts my knowledge, confidence, and independence. How has Kumon helped you academically? My schoolwork and homework come easily for me now. In math, I already know the material when the teacher introduces us new concepts. This allows me to help my classmates with their work. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Dedication. What advice would you give to kids just starting Kumon? My advice to new Kumon Students can be summed up into once sentence, âNever, no matter how hard it is, give up!â How did you feel when you found out you were selected to attend the Student Conference? When I received my acceptance letter for the Student Conference, I had many different emotions. I was mostly very proud and happy. What was your experience like at the Student Conference, and what was your favorite part? My experience at the Student Conference was really inspiring. My favorite part was playing the âEscape the Roomâ game. We were challenged to solve problems and worked together in teams. I really enjoyed working with the other students.

Understanding How To Add Fractions
Understanding How To Add FractionsOrganic Chemistry is a field that attracts many students with its general applicability, and the teachers of the science can be found all over the world. Organic Chemistry students need to understand the principles of organic chemistry to go on to learn more advanced subjects. One of the basic principles of Organic Chemistry is the law of molarity and is taught in various classes.Molarity: The force between two atoms is determined by the mass of one of the atoms. When a molecular unit is divided into parts that contains more than one molecule, the concentration of the separated atoms is determined by the mixture of the atoms. When two molecules of the same element form a molar system, the ratio of the weights is the same as the molar ratio of the molecules. A chemical molarity is based on the valence electron configuration of the atoms. If there are no valence electrons, there is a partial clarity, and the ratio between the partial molarity and the t otal molarity of the system is the molarity.Chemical Affinity: Chemical affinity is the degree to which two molecules have a chemical bond to each other. The chemical affinity is expressed in different units such as a couple of parts per million, a molecular weight, or an atomic weight. The affinity of two molecules is given by the sum of the chemical attraction that arises from their relative masses. Chemical affinity is given as the difference in concentrations of the atoms in the two molecules.Chemical Bond: The chemical bond is a chemical equation that have two elements, one atom, and one ion. The bond is formed when the two atoms come together and bind, and the chemical bond can be broken by either changing the concentration of the ion or changing the concentration of the atom. Chemical bonding is dependent on the chemical configuration of the elements. Each chemical bonding will yield a different chemical equilibrium.Intermolecular Interactions: Intermolecular Interactions are compounds formed between two molecules that are not bonded with each other. Intermolecular Interactions can be created by the chemical bonding of two atoms or the chemical bonding of two ions. There are more than one kind of Intermolecular Interactions and are known as the Pemdze Interactions.Bonding: Chemical bonding is the process through which two atoms come together to form a bond. Chemical bonding depends on the location of the atoms and bonds are obtained by either joining the atoms or between the atoms. In a single bond, the two atoms will only form a single bond, while in a double bond, two atoms will join to form a two-atom bond.Pure Molar is the result of calculating the molarity of a mixture of substances, without any impurities. Pure Molar of a chemical is also called the TPN, and is the amount of pure molar that a mixture of substances would have if it was pure molar.

Songwriting 101 Using the Long-Line Concept
Songwriting 101 Using the Long-Line Concept Megan L. One of the most wonderful and rewarding things about the art of songwriting is that there are many different ways to approach making your own music. Arlington,TX music teacher Ric F. previously shared with us his tips on using rhythm as a guide to writing. Today, Ric would like to add another aspect to your understanding of writing songs, something he calls the long-line concept. Unlike visual art where you can see it all at once, music takes âtimeâ to reveal itself. Today I would like to talk about the âlong-lineâ concept. Long-line does not mean the music has to be âlongâ or a âlineâ (melody). Any of the elements of music may be used as your primary element. In songwriting it is usually the melody. The result that you want is to be able to get from here (beginning) to there (end) giving your listener a sense of completeness and natural progression. Many elements go into accomplishing this, but your ability to write horizontally will greatly help you. As a songwriter and teacher, I preach this because I have noticed that many students are no longer taught this concept due to a number of reasons. One is⦠Technology I use lots of technology and love it! But I learned my craft before the technology we currently use developed so I am a bit old school in my work. Technology allows us to bring up a digital score or get our hands on sounds by way of multiple keyboards and find ourselves in this position⦠Many students come to me with a digital score (i.e. orchestral) with two or so measures full of notes from the top stave down to the bottom and say something like this: âI love these two measures but I donât know where to go from here â" Iâm stuck!â I also have students come with a recording of two or so measures of a song, completely produced and say the same. Answer? They did not conceive the song as best they could from beginning to end. They did not determine an element that could help them get the long-line, thinking âhorizontallyâ. They thought âverticallyâ and thatâs why theyâre stuck! Before going further, let me say that what I am talking about is not a rule. How you write your music is totally up to you, and all composer-songwriters have different processes. If you can play your melody with no accompaniment and it holds your listeners interest from beginning to end, you have something! As a teacher I use melody because it is something that anyone can create. You do not have to be an instrumental virtuoso to write a melody. Letâs proceed⦠As an example, below is the structure of an instrumental song of mine that was recently recorded and released. It has these sections: Intro (A) section: Presentation of the melody in basic âverseâ form (B) section: 8 measures. Melody range higher. The 5th measure is the âhookâ (higher the melody has been building toward this moment) Vamp Note: The Intro has no melody. The (A) section has melody in a lower range. The (B) section has melody higher in its range leading up to the âhookâ where the melody is at its highest point. The âVampâ has its melodic element in the accompaniment. It is a motif based on the melody and not essential as a melodic element. If you play the melodies of these sections in succession they will stand up on their own â" as a song. The âmelodyâ is my long-line. It is what drives the song from beginning to end. Assignment Use this simple song form (simple does NOT equate bad!) to write your own composition. (A) = 8 measures / (A) again, maybe some small changes / (B) something different, yet related / (A) again, perhaps exactly as the first (A) section or slightly different. Write a song with melody as your long-line. Ric F. teaches songwriting, music recording, and music theory in Arlington, TX.

What is it Like to Attend The Ohio State University
What is it Like to Attend The Ohio State University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Noor is a Chicago tutor who specializes in Spanish tutoring, English tutoring, and Test-Taking Strategies tutoring. He graduated from The Ohio State University in 2011 with a degree in Arts and Sciences, specifically in International Relations and Diplomacy and Spanish. Check out what he had to say about his school: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Noor: Ohio State is a pretty urban campus. As far as Columbus goes, campus sits comfortably near the center of the city. In this sense, it's mostly safe, but a little rough around the edges. Campus security stays vigilant, though. As far as getting to classes on time, I recommend having a bike or taking a bus, which is really easy as OSU has its own bus system and plenty of bike racks all over campus. I say this because the campus is big - really, really big. Walking could easily get tiring. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Noor: All faculty members have rather open office hours, which they're apt to inform students of. But outside of office hours, email is the only way to contact most professors and advisers. I found that anytime I needed to speak with a professor, I didn't have a problem communicating with them. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Noor: Dorm life at OSU varies slightly based on what part of campus you're living in. Again, the campus is really big, so it's commonly separated by location - North Campus, South Campus, and West Campus. I lived on South Campus where most of the freshman dorms are, and it was an excellent place to meet people and get a feel for the campus in general. I'd say it's the same all over campus, but North and West Campus have a smaller concentration of freshmen than South Campus does. All parts of campus are close to class buildings and sport various dining halls, ranging from Mexican to Asian to hearty, American-style buffets - the palate never finds itself bored. Rooms are what you'd expect from a dorm. They're slightly cramped, but have enough wiggle room to satisfy even the most claustrophobic student. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Noor: While most majors and programs are rather well supported, Business, Law, and Medicine are the most supported. I also found that Art and Music had a rather large representation. OSU has its own hospital, Business School (The Fisher School of Business), and Law School (Moritz College of Law), as well as an art-gallery-meets-art-campus in the Wexner Center. There are also specific buildings for many other majors and programs, such as Architecture, Engineering, and Language. OSU is very diverse. I dual-majored in International Studies and Spanish, but that was due to interests I had and professors I met that guided me in that direction. I found that the university did a wonderful job supporting my majors, as highly influential and intelligent professors populated both fields of study. I can easily say that most of the professors that I had impacted both my life and thought process for the better. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Noor: Due to the nature of the dorms and freshman campus life, it was stupendously easy to make friends and meet people. As a matter of fact, many of the friends I have today are friends that I met freshman year. There are myriad social events on campus all throughout the year, including free concerts, barbecues, and so much more that would take decades to list. Campus is constantly bustling with activity. Greek life plays a role, but not an overpowering one. All of the fraternities and sororities are located off campus, and while there are many, I wouldn't say that they're inextricable with campus life. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Noor: Quite a few reputable companies recruit on campus, especially around the Business School. Also, being that Columbus is not only a huge test market for the country, but also home to the headquarters of many businesses, finding a career in the Columbus area is pretty easy. The student union also abounds with career fairs and opportunities for involvement and securing internships. The Career Center is staffed by genuine, helpful people whose aim is seeing students succeed, and professors and advisors were always, in my experience, ready to help and guide. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Noor: As I've stated a few times already, The Ohio State University is big, and everything about it is also big. The main library and the student union were both recently remodeled and are in impeccable shape; the library boasts 11 floors and the union is a sprawling expanse of possibilities. There is ample space for studying and a plethora of resources to utilize. As far as the dorm lounges, they're great, but a bit more readily occupied. I would definitely recommend doing work in either the main library or the union. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Noor: Columbus is a wonderful town, pockmarked with so many options for diversion that it borders on overwhelming. In every direction there are restaurants, cafes, lounges, malls, and everything else the mind can conjure. Columbus is a very diverse city; near campus, there are restaurants encompassing almost every ethnicity and nationality. A very hip and young district lies just south of campus, called The Short North. It's a veritable haven for students, filled with cheap places to eat or hang out, and it also hosts a weekly event called Gallery Hop, which is essentially an art show. Students are often found all over the city, because Columbus is very spread out and every part of it offers a different experience. Fun doesn't even begin to describe it. One will never find himself bored, and it's almost too easy to avoid doing the same thing twice. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Noor: Ohio State competes with Arizona State for holding the record for the largest student body in the country with nearly 50,000 students. This sounds overwhelmingly large at first, and while the sheer amount of students is easily noticeable, class sizes are rather manageable. Of course, GECs that take place in lecture halls can contain upwards of 500 students, but most major-specific classes are a decent size. I never felt like I was overcrowded in any class, and I believe that the professors there understand the amount of students they have very well, and do their best to accommodate to all of them. So, I was rather pleased with the typical class size, which, outside of GECs, never really exceeded 30-40 students, and sometimes even less. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Noor: My freshman year, I had a Spanish professor that truly shaped my mind for what I'm doing now. She was incredibly inspiring and did her utmost to culture and educate us, her students. I still maintain contact with her today, and the imprint she left on me is one that I will never regret. She encouraged me to pursue language and international education, and instilled in me the courage to take the risks I needed to take in order to further myself. Check out Noors tutoring profile.
