physics


so this weekend was the superbowl, but i'm not going to blog about it cause i'm sure a lot of people will. instead, I will blog about my desk. I realized today that under my desk I have a ton of wires that are all mixed together and tangled. It suddenly hit me that our study of electrodynamics was happening right under my nose! The wires connect from my computer to my modem and then to a power outlet. The power outlet distributes the electricity to different sources via wiring. Inside the wiring trillions of electrons are moving to supply me with the lighting and power that I need. The wiring is also made up of conductive materials on the inside to help the electrons move more easily. Physics continues to reach more and more areas of my everyday life!
