Top Electrical Flashcards

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of an electrical charge. Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Did you know that this field became prominent after the commercialization of the electric telegraph, the telephone, and electric power distribution and use?

Are you familiar with the notable figures that were influential in forming the basis of electrical engineering? These include Michael Faraday, the discoverer of electromagnetic induction, Karl Ferdinand Braun, who invented the cathode ray tube for an oscilloscope, a crucial technology for electronic television, and Albert Hull, who developed the magnetron, which would lead to the development of the microwave oven. Electricity and electrical engineering are stimulating subjects, so check out these flashcards to learn more!
