APPLICATIONS OF TESLA

The Tesla Coil is a machine for generating extreme

high voltages. It's sort of like the Van De Graff
generator, but much more powerful. When you fire
it up, the shiny donut/sphere-shaped part on top is
energized with about 500,000 volts of high-
frequency current. The Tesla coil uses high-
frequency transformer action together with
resonant voltage amplification to generate
potentials in the range of tens to hundreds, or even
thousands of kilovolts.

About 100 years ago Nikola Tesla invented his

"Tesla Coil". Tesla invented his coil with the
intention of transmitting electricity through the air.
He conducted much research in this area. He
purposed using a few coils spread across the globe
to transmit electrical energy through the earth.
Wherever power was needed one would need only a
receiving coil to convert the power into a useful
form.

Tesla coil circuits were used commercially in spark

gap radio transmitters for wireless elegraphy until
the 1920s, and in electrotherapy and pseudo medical
devices such as violet ray. Today, their main use is
entertainment and educational displays.
Tesla coils or resonant transformers of high frequency
and high potential have been used in many commercial
applications; the only variation being thehigh voltage is
used to produce an effect other than a spark. Although
not allcommercial applications for Tesla coils are still in
use some historical and modern day applications
including.
* Spark gap radio transmitters

* Induction and dielectric heating (vacuum tube & spark

gap types)

*Induction coils (differ only in the transformer core

material being used)

*Medical X-ray devices (typically driven by an induction

coil)
* Quack medical devices (violet-ray)
*Ozone generators
*Particle acceleartors

RESISTORS
A resistor is a component that opposes a flowing current(
A resistor of 22k resistance is used in the project). Every
conductor has a certain resistance.
 COMPONENTS
one applies a potential difference V at the terminals of a
resistor, the current
I passing through it is given by:
I=V/R

This formula is known as Ohm’s Law. The SI unit of

resistance is Ohm (Ω).One can show that the power (in
J/s) dissipated due to a resistance is equal to :

P=VI

CAPACITOR

A Capacitor is a
component that can
storeenergy in the form
of an electric field. Less
abstractly, it is
composed in its most
basic form of two
electrodes separated by
a dielectric medium. If
there is a potential
difference V between those two electrodes, charges will
accumulate on thoseelectrodes: a charge Q on the positive
them.
An electrical field therefore arises between them. If both
of the electrodescarry the same amount of charge, one
can write:
Q=CV
INDUCTOR-An inductor is a passive component that
is used in most power electronic circuits to store energy
in the form of magnetic energy when electricity is
applied to it. One of the key properties of an inductor is
that it impedes or opposes any change in the amount of
current flowing through it. Whenever the current across
the inductor changes it either acquires charge or loses the
charge in order to equalize the current passing through it.
The inductor is also called a choke, reactor or just coil.

MAGNETIC WIRE- magnetic wire is

a copper (Cu) or aluminium (Al) wire coated with a
very thin layer of insulation. It is used in the
construction of transformers, inductors, motors,
generators
speakers, harddisk headactuators electromagnets
electric guitar pickups and other applications that
require tight coils of insulated wire.
 BATTERY-An electric battery is a
device consisting of one or more
electrochemical cells that convert
stored chemical energy into
electrical energy. Each cell contains
a positive terminal, or cathode, and
a negative terminal, or anode.
Electrolytes allow ions to move
between the electrodes and
terminals, which allows current to
flow out of the battery to perform
work.
Primary(single-use
or"disposable")batteriesare used
once and discarded; the electrode
materials are irreversibly changed
during discharge. Secondary
(rechargeable batteries) can be
dischargd and recharged multiple
times the original compositions of
the electrodes can be restored by
reverse current.

ON/OFF SWITCH
ON/OFF switch is used
to on or off the power
supply in the circuit. A
simple on/off switch is
being used inthe model.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE
 FARADAY’S LAW OF MAGNETIC INDUCTION :

“Theinduced electromotive force inany closedcircuit is

equal tothe negative of the time rate of change of the
magnetic flux enclosed by the circuit.”

According to which, when a conductor is placed under a

varying magnetic field, a small current will be induced
inside the conductor. For a Tesla coil this conductor will
be called as the secondary coil and the varying magnetic
field will be produced by the primary coil by passing an
oscillating current through the primary coil.
MAGNETIC FLUX:

Magnetic flux is the number of magnetic field

lines passing through aclosed surface (such as a
conducting coil)
