Everything You Need To Know About Nuclear Fission simplified

Nuclear Fission

Fission just like binary fission in Biology means splitting. 

It is the process in which a heavy atom splits into two or more lighter atoms that are more stable than the heavy atom. Here by the term heavy nucleus I mean an atom that has a pretty large mass number, say 92 (Uranium).

Just remember, anything that can undergo fission or split is called fissile.

Mutual Inductance and Transformers simplified

Mutual Induction (M)

It is the phenomenon in which change of current in a coil causes an EMF to be induced in another coil. The current in which we supply current is called primary coil and the coil in which an EMF is induced is called the secondary coil.

Mutual induction was one of Faraday's discoveries.

Electron Cloud Model simplified

In this depiction we see a spinning fan. Can you see the blades? Can you tell their location at a given time? Not clearly right?  The electron cloud model works in a similar way. The blades being the electrons. 


Bohr talked about the electrons orbiting the atom's nucleus in a similar way planets orbiting the sun. Bohr's model is useful to understand the properties of the elements and their chemical interactions. However, it doesn't explain a lot of theories including the Stark effect, Zeeman effect and the behaviour of electrons except for the simplest types of atoms such as Hydrogen.

Self Inductance Simplified Explanation

Self Inductance :

It is defined as the induction of a voltage in a current carrying wire when the current in the wire is itself changed. Hence changing current in a circuit generates a new voltage in the circuit. Hence it is called self inductance.  
                  [or]
It is the property of a coil/conductor by which it opposes change in current in itself.

3D With '3Doodler' Pen

The 3Doodler is a 3D pen that allows you to create 3D arts. It was developed by Peter Dilworth, Maxwell Bogue and Daniel Cowen of WobbleWorks, Inc. For long, the concept of 3D printing was thought of science fiction but over the last few decades 3D printers have become wide spread and are used for all sorts of
