Electricity Formulas


Electricity is the flow of charge from anode to cathode in a conductor. This current provides power to the electrical devices. To understand how the electricity works we need to know the various parameters related to it and the relation between them.

Ohm’s Law 


The relationship between Voltage, Current and Resistance was firstly discovered by the German physicist Georg Ohm. Georg Ohm found that, at a constant temperature, the electrical current flowing through a resistance is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it, and inversely proportional to the resistance.
Ohm's law can be expressed as:


V = IR            I = V/R          I =V/R 




The three quantities can be represented into a triangle that can be used to calculate all formulas easily.
You hide with a finger the value to be calculated and then the other two values show how to do the calculation


Electric Energy and Electrical Power


 Power is consumption of energy by consumption of time.     P = E/t 

The formula for electrical power can be also found as:     P = VI 





Again, the three quantities have been superimposed into a triangle. It gives us the different combinations of the same equation to find the various individual quantities:

Ancient calendars

The ancient Egyptian calendar The ancient Egyptians were the first civilization to create a calendar which organised the year into 365 days . This calendar is believed to date back to the 3 ͬ ͩ millennium BC. The year consisted of 12 months of 30 days each one plus five holy days. The months were divided into three weeks of ten days each. The Egyptian year was divided into three seasons of four months. These seasons were: The season of Akhet (Inundation) The season of Peret (Growth-Winter) The season of Shemu (Harvest-Summer)   The Egytian calendar was known to be imperfect as it was almost a quarter of a day shorter than the true solar year.

There was no uniform calendar imposed upon all of the Hellenic territory. Each polis had i...

Graffiti à Paris

Le Pont des Arts, reliant le Louvre à la Rive Gauche à Paris, soutenait autrefois le poids de milliers d’amoureux. Il était une fois des couples qui cadenassaient leur amour au pont et jettaient la clé, en immortalisant leur relation près de la Seine, à Paris, la ville de l’amour. De façon controversée, la mairie de Paris a été obligée de démonter les 45 tonnes de fer des grilles du pont à cause d’un possible effondrement. Mais face aux couples furieux, Paris devait trouver une solution à ce lourd problème. Autrefois le pont romantique des cadenas, ce dernier est aujourd’hui transformé en une gallérie publique pour le street-art, grâce à la collaboration entre la mairie et Gallérie Itinerrance. Une oeuvre d’eLSeed au Pont des Arts. Pantonio au Pont des Arts. Jace, El Seed, Brusk et Pantonio on été commissionnés pour peintre des panneaux de la hauteur des barrières afin que les témoignages romantiques—des touristes ou des parisiens— n’alourdissent plus la structure arch...
