Positive/Negative/Neutral Objects - How are they different? Positive: has fewer electrons than protons Negative: Has more electrons than protons Neutral: has equal numbers of protons and electrons Laws of Electric Charges - What are they? How are they applied? Like charges repel, opposites charges attract, charged AND neutral objects attract Induced Charge Separation - Explain this process. A shift of the position of electrons when a charged object is brought near it. If the charged object is positive, the electrons will move toward it. If the charged object is negative, the electrons will move away from it. Charging by Friction (What is happening with the charges? - Know electrostatic series examples) Process in which objects made from different materials rub against each other, producing a net static charge on each object. When charged by friction, one material will have a stronger attraction to electrons and will pull the electrons off the other material Charging by Conduction (Be able to explain what the electrons are doing) Charging by contact with a charged object. An object that becomes charged by contact always gets the same type of charge that is on the object that charges it. Grounding (Be able to explain how it happens) A method of removing static charges from an object. Electrons from the ground move up to the charged object. If the object is negative, electrons leave the object. If the object is positive, electrons enter the object. The ground always remains neutral Conductors/Insulators/Semiconductors (Know examples for each and characteristics) Conductor: A material that allows electrons to flow through it easily. GOOD CONDUCTORS: Silver, copper, gold, aluminium, magnesium, iron, usually metals Insulator: A material that prevents electrons from flowing through it. Plastic, wood and glass are examples. To prevent electric shocks, conductive wires are wrapped in insulators. Semiconductors: Have special properties that make them fair conductors, they are the foundation of modern electronics, including radios, computers and telephones. Charging by Induction (How do we induce a PERMANENT charge?) You can permanently charge an object using induction by attaching a conducting wire to the neutral object that goes to the ground Electric Discharge - What causes it? Know everyday examples. How is lightning formed? When two objects that have a charge imbalance are brought close together or come in contact with each other, electrons are transferred rapidly. Electrons move from the object with a more negative charge to the object with the less negative charge. Lightning occurs through an imbalance of charge between clouds and the ground. Negative charge at the bottom of a cloud repels the electrons at the earth's surface which move away, causing the ground to become positively charged Current Electricity: Refers to the electrons that flow in a controlled way through a conductor Forms of Current Electricity - Alternating Current (AC) vs Direct Current (DC) - How do they differ? AC: Electrons move back and forth, alternating their direction. produced in generating stations and is then distributed over long distances ex. Something plugged into a wall outlet

Multiple choice quiz on this reading: By 1900, the United States had claimed its place as a world power through the Spanish-American War. As the new century began, the country governed subject territories in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, the Wake Islands, and the Philippines. U.S. troops also occupied Cuba. U.S. businesses reached beyond the country's borders. During the first decade of the new century, the Coca-Cola Company, Quaker Oats, AT&T, the Standard Oil Company, Du Pont, General Electric, and Ford Motor Company seized the opportunity for international sales. After finding international markets, they built factories abroad, taking advantage of lower labor costs in foreign countries. Then they asked for U.S. protection of their investments and interests. Foreign countries invested heavily in Central America. U.S. investors focused on banana plantations and mining, as well as railroads, with little money in government bonds. By 1913, U.S. investments in Central America totaled about $93 million. British investment in Central America peaked at about $115 million in 1913. About $75 million of that total represented railroad holdings, mostly in Costa Rica and Guatemala. The other $40 million was in government bonds, which were worth little or nothing. The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine From its earliest days, the United States claimed a special interest in the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine, issued in 1823, warned European powers to keep their hands off Latin America. In 1902, Britain, Germany, and Italy mounted a naval blockade of Venezuela. They wanted to force the government to repay its debts. All the countries involved eventually agreed to settle the matter by arbitration. The United States stood back and did nothing, but U.S. citizens were clearly uneasy with the appearance of European military forces in "their" hemisphere. In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt issued a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, saying that the United States would act as a police officer to keep order in the region. He intended both to keep European military forces out of the hemisphere and to protect U.S. and European investors, exerting whatever pressure or control on Latin American governments that might be necessary to these ends. In 1905, the Dominican Republic owed $40 million in debts to European lenders. In order to prevent the European nations from using military force to collect their debts, Roosevelt used U.S. power. The United States basically took over collection of Dominican customs taxes, declared that $20 million of the debt was unjustified, and began repayment of the rest. Building a Canal The United States needed a canal through Central America, in order to save shipping time and costs. Colombia had the best location for a canal, and the United States negotiated a deal. It would pay Colombia $10 million for a three-mile-wide strip of land and would make annual rental payments of $250,000 yearly, beginning in 1912. Colombia's Senate turned down the deal, and Roosevelt exploded in rage, calling its members "foolish and homicidal corruptionists." Roosevelt considered seizing the land for the canal by military force but soon found an easier way. The province of Panama seceded from Colombia. A U.S. gunship stood off shore, protecting the Panamanian rebels. They formed a new republic under the protection of the United States. The new country of Panama and the United States agreed on a canal treaty within days. The new treaty had similar terms except that the Canal Zone would be five miles wide, instead of three, and the United States would guarantee and maintain the independence of Panama. Revolutions While Roosevelt welcomed the revolution that separated Panama from Colombia, he opposed most other revolutionary activity. So did his successors in office, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson. The U.S. presidents sent troops to put down revolutions in Nicaragua and Haiti, using U.S. military forces to set up new governments in those countries and maintaining military occupations for years. U.S. military interventions were frequent throughout the hemisphere. Dollar Diplomacy President Taft preferred using "dollar diplomacy" to control Latin American countries. In Honduras, for example, U.S.-based banana companies virtually ran the government. Taft supported expanded U.S. investment in South and Central American countries, the Caribbean, and the Far East. He ordered Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox to protect U.S. investments, sending in military troops if necessary. On the World Stage As a world power, the United States did not limit its involvement to the Western Hemisphere. In 1905, President Roosevelt brought Russia and Japan to the negotiating table to end their war over control of Korea and Manchuria. Roosevelt agreed to Japanese annexation of Korea in return for Japan giving up any claim to China, Hawaii, and the Philippines. Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for settling this dispute. In 1906, Roosevelt's negotiating powers were tested again. This time, he mediated a dispute between the Alliance powers—Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy—with the Entente—France, Russia, and Britain—over control of Morocco. The United States backed France and ended the dispute. No longer an upstart, the United States had taken its place as a world power alongside its former colonial ruler.

Există trei tipuri principale ale mediului de cupru utilizat în rețelistică: • Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) - Torsadat neecranat • Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) - Torsadat Ecranat • Coaxial Aceste cabluri coaxiale sunt utilizate pentru a interconecta nodurile într-un LAN sau echipamentele de infrastructură precum switchuri, routere și puncte de acces wireless. Fiecare tip de conexiune și echipamentele însoțitoare au cerințe de cablare stipulate de standardele layer-ului fizic. Standardele layer-ului fizic specifică utilizarea diferiților conectori. Aceste standarde specifică dimensiunile mecanice ale conectorilor și proprietățile electrice acceptabile pentru fiecare tip. Mediile de rețea folosesc mufe modulare pentru a asigura o conectare și deconectare facilă. De asemenea, poate fi utilizat un singur tip de conector fizic pentru mai multe tipuri de conexiuni. De exemplu, conectorul RJ-45 este utilizat în întreaga lume în LAN-uri cu un tip de mediu și în unele WAN-uri cu un alt tip de mediu. Cablu Torsadat Neecranat Cablarea UTP este mediul cel mai utilizat din rețelistică. Cablarea UTP, terminată cu conectorii RJ-45 este utilizată pentru interconectarea hosturilor din rețea cu echipamente de rețelistică intermediare, precum switchuri și routere. În LAN-uri, cablul UTP constă în patru perechi de fire codate cu culori care au fost înfășurate împreună iar apoi puse într-un înveliș flexibil de plastic care protejează împotriva deteriorărilor fizice minore. Înfășurarea firelor ajută la protecția împotriva interferenței semnalului de la celelalte fire. Așa cum se vede în figură, codurile de culoare identifică perechile individuale și firele din perechi și ajută la terminarea cablului. Cablu Torsadat Ecranat (STP) Acestea asigură o protecție mai bună împotriva zgomotului decât cablarea UTP. În orice caz, comparat cu cablul UTP,cablul STP este mult mai scump și mai dificil de instalat. Ca și cablul UTP, STP folosește un conector RJ-45. Cablul STP combină tehnicile de protecție pentru a contracara EMI și RFI și torsadarea cablurilor pentru a contracara crosstalk-ul. Pentru a beneficia în totalitate de protecție, cablurile STP sunt mufate cu conectori de date STP speciali. În cazul în care cablul nu este împământat corect, ecranarea va acționa ca o antenă și va recepționa semnale nedorite. Există mai multe tipuri diferite de cabluri STP cu caracteristici diferite. În orice caz, există două tipuri de STP: • Cablul STP protejează întregul pachet de fire cu folie, eliminând toată interferența într-o manieră virtuală (cea mai obișnuită). • Cablul STP protejează întregul pachet de fire cu folie, dar și firele individuale cu folie, eliminând toată interferența. Cablul STP arătat folosește patru perechi de fire, fiecare împachetată într-o folie, care este apoi împachetată într-o altă folie metalică. Pentru mulți ani, STP a fost structura de cablare specificată pentru utilizarea în instalațiile de rețea Token Ring. Având în vedere declinul observat pentru Token Ring, cererea pentru cablarea torsadată ecranată a scăzut. În orice caz, noul standard GB pentru Ethernet are o clauză pentru utilizarea cablării STP care furnizează un interes reînnoit pentru cablarea torsadată ecranată. Cablu coaxial Cablul coaxial (coax) își are numele din faptul că are doi conductori care împart aceeași axă. Așa cum se arată în figură, cablul coaxial constă în: • Un conductor din cupru utilizat pentru a transmite semnale electronice. • Conductorul din cupru este înconjurat de un layer din izolație din material plastic. • Materialul de izolare este înconjurat cu o împletitură din cupru sau folie metalică ce se comportă ca un al doilea fir în circuit și ca un scut pentru conductorul intern. Acest layer secundar sau scut reduce și cantitatea de interferență electromagnetică exterioară. • Întregul cablu este acoperit de un înveliș pentru a îl proteja împotriva deteriorărilor fizice minore. Notă:Există tipuri diferite de conectori utilizate cu cablul coaxial. Cablul coaxial a fost utilizat de obicei în televiziunea prin cablu capabilă să transmită într-o singură direcție. A fost utilizată intens și în instalările Ethernet. Deși cablul UTP a înlocuit cablul coaxial în instalările moderne de Ethernet, design-ul cablului coaxial a fost adaptat pentru utilizarea la: • Instalări wirelessCablurile coaxiale atașează antene la echipamentele wireless. Cablul coaxial transportă energia frecvenței radio (RF) între antene și echipamentul radio. • Instalări ale Internetului prin cabluFurnizorii de servicii prin cablu își transformă sistemele unidirecționale în sisteme bidirecționale pentru a asigura conectivitatea la Internet pentru clienții lor. Pentru a asigura aceste servicii, sunt înlocuite porțiuni din cablul coaxial și elementele ce suportă amplificarea cu cabluri din fibră optică. În orice caz, conexiunea finală de la locația clientului și cablarea din interior este tot coaxială. Această utilizare combinată de fibră și cablu coaxial este denumit HFC (hybrid fiber coax).
