    Electricity in The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath signifies Esther’s evolving condition; it describes both a domineering and destructive force that she imagines from the beginning of the novel, and experiences later in the form of electroshock, but it also describes her sexual awakening and development as someone capable of adult intimacy. These two forms of electricity are radically different, yet both relate to powerful moments in Esther’s life as a young adult. While electricity in the form of electrocution

    Unit 3 The Characteristics of Electricity ( pg 296 ) Day 1 Electrostatics - study of static electricity Neutral objects - materials that do not carry a charge Conductors allow charges (electrons) to flow through them easily. E.g. metal Therefore no matter how hard that you rub a metal tap no static charge will build up because the electrons that you are giving the tap just keep on moving up the tap and down the water line until they reach a ground. Insulators do not allow charges

    the computer, you have to worry about being gentle with your hardware. You have got to make sure that you keep yourself static free as well because if you do not ground yourself while in the building process, you could cause damage to your components. One way to avoid this is to not wear wool or rub your socks on the carpet; This helps to prevent a build up of static electricity, and you could always buy an antistatic wrist strap. By building a computer, you will have to fix the problem if anything

    = hydrophobic & strength & static electricity b. Producing permanent pleats. pleats = resiliency & thermoplasticity c. Improving insulation. Scientists model the manner in which a liquid wets fibers, gaining useful insights for improving glass wool properties. Sandcastles are a prime example of how adding a small amount of liquid to a granular material changes its characteristics d. Resistance to wear from rubbing abrasion resistance e. Static buildup. hydrophobic fibers

    remain there for a certain amount of time. 2. Ask a question: Do different hair colors have different effects on static electricity? 3. Prediction: The color of hair will have different effects on static electricity, one color of hair will produce the highest amount of static electricity. 4. Hypothesis: If you have black hair then there will be a higher effect on static electricity then there would be on blonde, red, or brown hair. 5.

    path for electric current, or direct physical connection to the earth. Bear in mind that this connection to earth may be through a conductor or some other circuit element which may be; resistors, circuit breakers depending upon the situation. In electricity supply system, an earthing (grounding) system defines the electrical potential of the conductors relative to that of the earth’s conductive surface. The choice of earthing system has implications for the safety and electromagnetic compatibility
