UNIVERSE | SCIENCE | TECHNOLOGY on Instagram: "Did you know? ⚡ Even when high-voltage power lines are buried underground, they still generate magnetic fields. This happens because whenever electric current flows through a conductor, it creates a magnetic field—no matter if the cable is in the air or underground. 🔹 How it works: Buried transmission cables carry massive currents to power cities. These moving electric charges produce circular magnetic fields around the cables, as described by elec

UNIVERSE | SCIENCE | TECHNOLOGY on Instagram: "Laminar flow is a type of fluid motion where the fluid moves in smooth, parallel layers, with no mixing or turbulence between them. Every layer flows at a different speed, but all move calmly in the same direction. DM for credit/removal #laminarflow #fluiddynamics #physicsinmotion #scienceexplained #engineeringfacts"

Maria Skłodowska Curie 1867–1934) was a Polish physicist and chemist whose discoveries changed modern science. She is best known for: \t•\tDiscovering polonium and radium \t•\tNaming and defining radioactivity \t•\tPioneering radiation research and medical uses of X-rays \t•\tBecoming the first woman to win a Nobel Prize \t•\tAnd the only person ever to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences — Physics (1903) and Chemistry (1911) Her work laid the foundations for nuclear physics, radiotherapy

UNIVERSE | SCIENCE | TECHNOLOGY on Instagram: "ANALYSIS OF CURRENT (C) AND VOLTAGE (V) ⚡🔌 Current (I) and Voltage (V) are the foundation of all electrical and electronic systems. Voltage is the driving force—it’s the electrical potential difference that pushes charges through a conductor. Think of it like pressure in a water pipe. Current, on the other hand, is the flow of electric charge, similar to the rate at which water flows. The relationship between them is beautifully explained by Ohm’s
