Introduction The Electric-Electronic Engineering #1

Introduction The Electric-Electronic Engineering #1

Hi guys welcome to our first engineering post. Like I said in my introduction post, we will learn engineering together as very entertaining. In this post, I want to start general information about electric-electronic engineering. Let's take a journey together. Keep in eyes on me, this is just a beginning. Will be getting interesting ;)

What is electric?

Electricity is a physical cause that occurs when the electric loads have interfered with each other and their surroundings in nature. It is said that the first person to observe the effects of electricity in world history is Thales of Miletos.
Thales, who was known to live in the present-day Aydin-Turkey area between 624 and 546 BC, observed that during the research and observations of nature, when the amber was rubbed with wool, light objects such as feathers and straw were pulled towards himself and small sparks were formed when he was rubbed for a long time.
The word electron, which means "amber" in ancient Greeks, is known as electroa in Latin. In 1600, the English physicist and philosopher William Gilbert used electricus word in his work "De Magnete" to mean "attracting objects like amber".

After the first serious distinction between electricity and magnetism by William Gilbert, the research on electricity and freight has gained speed. Electricity, which has become a science and engineering branch since the 19th century, accelerated the industrial revolution and formed the basis of 20th-century technology. Today, electricity is an indispensable part of civilization.

In fact, electricity is directly in our lives. The metabolic interactions of the cell in the human body occur electrochemically. The conduction of stimulus in the nerve cells is provided by electrical signals.
But we can not perceive these effects physically. The most obvious events that we may notice or perceive are static electricity, lightning strike and lightning discharge. These events are the events that we can notice with our electrical sensory organs.

These examples are natural phenomena and these behaviors of electricity do not provide any benefit for humanity. We can see in a light bulb or a rotating electric motor that uses electricity. The way which electricity can only be taken out of a natural phenomenon and make it useful comes from to understand these natural phenomena.
We will use this powerful phenomenon and make it useful.

See you at next post.
I will be here with variety exciting information.
Ready for next posts. Will be getting interesting. This just a beginning ;)
