blog 11


So, I was pondering what I should write my blog about when I was driving home.  I couldn’t think of anything…when SUDDENLY my dad had to turn the lights on because it was getting dark! :o and then I thought about how we learned in class that if you turn the motor off, but keep the lights on, the battery will drain quickly.  However, if you run the motor and keep the lights on then the battery won’t die because of the induced current and voltage in the system.  Also, I thought about how my car has a battery (which provides voltage) but it has a motor too! The motor includes a magnet, and current (from the car battery) which in turn produces motion and helps the car move! When we pulled into our garage, I noticed this huge black machine next to our circuit breaker, aka A GENERATOR! :o The generator uses motion and a magnet to create current through a wire. ;) LOVE YA MRS. CHEN!
