Weight at Equator is less




Weight at Equator is less

The reason we weigh less on the equator than the North or South Pole is because the force of gravity and other forces change as you approach the poles. The Equator is not a weight loss program, the force changes back when you return to your original latitude. The forces that make us feel that way are, The Moon's Gravity, Earth's Gravity and the Sun's Gravity.

The Earth has a bulge at the Equator which is created by the Planets rotation. This is known an Centrifugal Force. All this a Newtons law of motion which is felt.

How Electric Current is formed?

How Electric Current is formed? Have you ever wondered how Electric Current is formed? Generally, the flow from one point to another through a medium is called a current. When an electric charge moves from one point to another inside a conductor or a semiconductor, it is actually conducting electric current. Electric charge carriers are micro particles that conduct the electricity. They can be protons, electrons, holes or ions depending on their availability in the conducting material.  Normally electrons and holes are responsible for conducting electricity. This process occurs when a Voltage or a Potential Difference is applied at the two ends of a conductor or a semiconductor. Thus Electric Current is formed when a Voltage of Potential Difference is applied at the two ends of a conductor or semiconductor, i.e. when a closed circuit is formed.
