Lab 2: What I liked

I liked the fact that the abstract was straightforward and direct. As soon as I read the first sentence, I knew what this lab was about and what the experimenter was trying to measure. I also liked that the experimenter was honest in that he or she is uncertain of the values that were calculated or the way that the experiment was performed. Rather than reporting false values to make the lab report look better, the experimenter acknowledged that the outcome of the lab was not optimal. That is ultimately more useful for the people trying to learn by ...

Executive Summary

Canada stands out as a trade-dependent country. Thus, it finds its prosperity quite tied towards international commerce.

However, the high Canadian dollar, the Asian economies competition, as well as the thickening of the border have greatly decreased Canada’s trade with the United States. In light of the above, it has become clear that Canada must diversify ...

Introduction

An investment portfolio can be defined simply as where one keeps one’s money. If one chooses to keep all one’s money as cash in one’s bank account, then that becomes one’s portfolio.

Therefore, the value of money over time will decrease. Because of this reason, it is advised that one should spread one’s money around a few different investment instruments. Investment can be of different types based on the ...

Cerebrovascular accident refers to stroke in which the blood flow to the brain is interrupted due to a rupture of an artery to the brain or blockage, resulting in oxygen deprivation and consequent death of brain cells. Our brain needs a steady oxygen supply to have blood pumped throughout the body effectively. The blood flowing through the arteries to the brain carries the oxygen. In the case of a cerebrovascular accident, one or few of these arteries get ruptured or blocked, thereby interrupting the flow of the oxygen-rich blood to the oxygen.

There is no doubt that nearly 99 percent of all atmospheric sulfur dioxide is as a result of human activities. The chief sources of sulfur dioxide are industrial processes, for instance, those employed in the production of sulfuric coal, gas, and oil (AGDE, 2005). Additionally, some mineral ores have sulfur as a component, and when they are purified, sulfur dioxide is produced in the process. Another significant source of sulfur dioxide is fuel combustion by motor vehicles (AGDE, 2005). Looking at these sources, countries that do not process coal or sulfuric mineral ores like Canada suffer because of the ...

Abstract

The main aim of performing this experiment was to study the behaviour of the voltage across a capacitor as it charge and discharge through a known resistor. From the experiment, it was seen that charge/ discharge of a capacitor follows an exponential function. We also studied about the time constant RC of the circuit.

Introduction

We carried out a lab experiment on an RC circuit recorded and calculated the results so as to determine the time constant. We found out that as capacitance decreases, time constant also decreases and increase in resistance lead to increase in time constant
