Essay / Applications of Electricity and Magnetism in the Future
Essentially, every device that humans use to make their lives easier can be largely attributed to the field of physics for its creation. The laws of physics govern everything we use, see and observe life because we know it would not be possible without it. There are multiple branches of physics, but one stands out as the most promising branch for creating devices far beyond our wildest imagination, electricity and magnetism. Someone who has not been much educated on the subject generally does not realize the importance of the role that electricity and magnetism play in their daily life, and even in life on Earth. The phone they carry in their pocket, the Earth's invisible magnetic field sustains life, and even the electrical signals their own heart uses to pump blood and distribute it throughout the body are all applications. physical laws of electricity and magnetism. . On the horizon lie countless other futuristic applications on which physicists and engineers work tirelessly, day after day. If science is correct in its predictions about the future, electricity and magnetism will play a monumental role in shaping life on Earth in the not-so-distant future. Of all the physicists at the forefront of electricity and magnetism research, one name in particular stands out. above the crowd. Elon Musk is a serial entrepreneur, physicist, engineer, inventor, philanthropist, genius, and at just 42 years old, he has already completely disrupted several multi-billion dollar industries using only visionary perspective and the laws of physics as his tools. The Hyperloop is Elon's latest adventure into the unknown. In theory, the Hyperloop, in Musk's words, a hyperloop is a system to "build...... middle of paper..., but if these seemingly magical room temperature superconductors were formulated, that would change completely . These superconductors would allow us to carry almost infinite current voltage with virtually no heat transferred to the holding device. Humans could indeed create incredibly powerful magnetic fields, fields thousands of times stronger than those obtained by helium, titanium or niobium. to name a few, compounds used in experimental fusion reactors or tok-maks. With the level that these conductive devices will offer initial energy distribution or density, humans could construct what has been postulated for almost a century. A thermonuclear power plant that is not only safe, but completely self-sustaining and sufficient with enough power to provide energy to humans for decades, or even centuries as some have predicted..
