Thomas Edison
Who invented the pixi machine?
Micheal Faraday
Iron core, wire coil, amplifier, magnet, speaker
When was this created?
sometime in the 19th century
Why is this important
this machine diagnoses injuries, tumors, and other diseases
What is its purpose
To measure electricity
Why is this machine important?

Why is this important to science
it offers information on the existence of ferromagnetic domains
where was the alternating current found?
a household of appliances
What does MRI stand for
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
True or false, the electric meter was retired in 1974 after being called "unsafe" by the US electric association
false
When was this machine discovered?
1832
When was it discovered
1919
True or false, the alternating currents are all the same sizes and go in the same direction
False
How long does an MRI take
as long as 10 minutes to 2 hours
how does it work
As the home draws current from the power lines, a set of small gears inside the meter move. The number of revolutions is recorded by the dials that you can see on the face of the meter.
How does this machine operate?
A magnet runs through a cylinder and wrapped in a copper wire which is how the electricity is created.
What can you use this for
figure out the hardness state of materials
Why is this important to science?
it can transfer power across large areas without consuming lots of energy
What is the system of the MRI
The hydrogen nuclei in our body is gripped by the powerful magnetic field in the MRI
what year was it discovered
1879
