Answer to Question 1

Answer: Faraday's law states that voltage induced in a coil is proportional to the rate at which the magnetic field strength through the coil changes. It is also proportional to the number of turns on the coil. This change can be brought about by moving the coil, changing its shape, or changing the magnetic field strength. Because of Faraday's law, the production of current need not be restricted to batteries, but can be induced in a wire by any of the changes stated. Faraday's law underlies generators and has changed the electrical and industrial world.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Both electric motors and generators are similarly-constructed devices. Both have a permanent or electromagnet and coils of wire on a rotor. They differ mainly by the roles of input and output. When input is electrical energy, the rotor is made to spin and we have a motor. When input is mechanical energy that spins the rotor, the output is electric energy and we have a generator.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

A recent study has found that following a diet rich in berries may slow down the aging process of the brain. This diet apparently helps to keep dopamine levels much higher than are seen in normal individuals who do not eat berries as a regular part of their diet as they enter their later years.
