Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that uses the temperature difference between the warm surface water and the cold deep water of the ocean to generate electricity. OTEC is a promising source of clean, sustainable energy that has the potential to provide a significant portion of the world’s electricity needs. OTEC … Read more
Electrostatic The basic principle of Electrostatics is based on the fact the electric charges attract or repel other charges depending on their relative signs and the law of force is given by Coulomb‘s law. Coulomb’s law states that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two point charges is directly proportional to the … Read more
What is Renewable Energy? Renewable energy is energy that comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished. These include sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy does not produce greenhouse gases or other pollutants, and it is becoming increasingly affordable as technology improves. Why is Renewable Energy Important? Renewable energy … Read more
Rotational Motion A rotation is a circular movement of an object around a center (or point) of rotation . A three-dimensional object always rotates around an imaginary line called a rotation axis. If the axis passes through the body’s center of mass, the body is said to rotate upon itself, or spin. A rigid body … Read more
