old and bored
The Serbian-American Inventor known for inventing AC current
who is Nikola Tesla?
The circuit component used to limit current flow.
What is a resistor?
A coating of material that prevents current flow, usually meant to prevent unintentional contact with high voltage.
The SI unit of energy
What is a Joule?
The American inventor who was credited with indirectly inventing the electric chair.
(Hint: there's a town in New Jersey named after him)
who is Thomas Edison?
The set of laws that demonstrates the law conservation of energy, but on a circuit.
What are Kirchhoff's circuit laws?
The circuit component that functions as a valve, allowing the flow of current in only one direction.
What is a diode?
(Hint: you probably have one at your house.)
What is a circuit breaker?
The English Engineering Measuring unit of mass
The American Inventor credited with inventing one of the first wireless devices.
who was Alexander Graham Bell?
The set of partial equations used to relate electric and magnetic fields
What are Maxwell's equations?
A circuit made formed on semi-conducting material, serving the same purpose as its regular counter part, while being much smaller and easier to integrate.
A component/set of protocols with the purpose of preventing current overflow to stop damage of equipment and/or workers.
What is an anti-short?
The SI unit of magnetic flux derived from Volt-Second
What is a Weber?
The first engineer in recorded human history
who was Imhotep?
The law/theorem relating the amount of electric charge to the resulting magnetic field.
(hint: it is usually used to derive Coulomb's law)
What is Gauss's law/Gauss's flux theorem?
A compact integrated circuit designed to function as a very limited computer.
What is a microprocessor?
A training process that an engineer must undergo in order to be approved to work close to or around radiation sources.
What is radiology safety/radiological safety?
The English Engineering measuring unit of absolute temperature.
What is degree Rankine? (°R)
The inventor and designer credited with designing the world's first combat vehicle, 5 years before a great conflict that spanned a mass of Europe.
Leonardo Da Vinci
The set of equations used to break a function down into its sine and cosine components.
What is the Fourier transform method?
A type of transistor that measures the voltage change across its resistor and uses that value to calculate the surrounding temperature.
what is a TMP-36?
(thank you, Doctor Liu, very cool)
A process often used around devices that generate large magnetic fields, in order to prevent those fields from causing interference on surrounding machinery.
What is electromagnetic shielding?
A unit of measurement equal to the the distance between the center of the earth and the center of our sun.
What is an Astronomical Unit?
