DC motor : An AC Generator

tags: interesting, Truly
I discovered that a DC motor generates electricity. This is not the all of what I found. Basically a coil of copper rotates in the magnetic field when we pass electric current through the motor. Please underline the sentence "the copper coil rotates in the magnetic field". Thus the coil must generate electricity. Where does this electricity goes. The most interesting thing is that electricity is generated but also electromagnetic signals are generated. However all this is at a smaller scale. the current generated is very low.

My last blog entry ended in too much of a rant; sorry about that. The reason was primarily that it had gotten too long and I had to stop. So this post is about the first few ideas I tried to implement and the problems that arose.

The primary problem that I have encountered among the students is lethargy.

So I asked myself what one wants to achieve in teaching a (set theory) course. The following are some basic observations.

1) Identify what kind of mathematical problems this field deals with

2) Identify the tools developed to approach these problems

3) Teach the students to analyze the new kinds of problems, identify their core and show how the tools of the lecture can solve them

4) Get the students to communicate their own approach, ideas and intuitions

The first two issues can be dealt with by good preparation on the part of the lecturer and TA.

The third and fourth...

"Si Se Puede"

La expresión “Si Se Puede”, fue acunada por el gran líder campesino Cesar Chávez en su lucha por los derechos laborales de los trabajadores agrícolas en Estados Unidos.

“Si se puede” acompaño, inspiro y dio fuerza a Cesar Chavez para a continuar a pesar de las constantes amenazas, y de la represión que sufrió antes de lograr su sueno: darle vida al primer sindicato campesino en los EUU.

Cesar Chávez es el perfecto ejemplo de una persona perseverante. Un gran líder con una extraordinaria convicción en su capacidad para lograr sus metas y con el coraje para mantenerse firme ante las adversidades.

En este blog explico cómo la perseverancia, que inspiro a Cesar Chávez a alcanzar sus sueños, puede ayudarte a ti también a lograr de tus metas y objetivos personales.

Y es que, de acuerdo a los expertos, la perseverancia es una habilidad psicológica que se puede cultivar y desarrollar. Más adelante te ex...
