Description
In a two-page paper, identify the physics principles contained within the following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to electricity, magnetism, or light in modern applications in physics. Finally, consider the different concepts in which James Clerk Maxwell did research, and give an example of one of these concepts in use in your life. For instance, Maxwell's research led to the development of radio waves. If you listen to a radio, then you are using Maxwell's research. Provide another example from your own experience, compare, and contrast your scenario to the provided scenario below. Please use APA formatting and a reference page. Scenario Mandy took a trip to Rome, Italy. Once landed and inside the terminal, she turned her cell phone back on, but it was not charged. She found a charging station with a USB adaptor port. The USB was universal, providing 5 volts in any country you were in, and a small red LED next to her phone's screen told her the phone was successfully charging. This USB port seemed to have very high amperage, meaning it charged her phone quickly. She was aware, though, that almost all of Italy's electricity was generated by burning fossil fuels, and thus she was determined after this to use the portable solar charger she had bought rather than wall electricity.

Principles of Physics and Their Application
Once Mandy arrived in Rome, she discovered her cell phone was not charged. A cell
phone uses a battery to store electric energy. A battery is a device that can convert chemical
energy stored in chemicals inside the battery into electrical energy. The stored energy can be
used to produce heat, motion or light. When chemical reactions in the battery take place,
electrons are produced in the positive terminal also known as the anode. The electrical potential
then causes these electrons to flow to the cathode (the negative terminal) converting the stored
chemical energy into useful chemical energy (Bates, 2012). Electrical potential is the work done
when transferring a positive test charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric
field of a charged object (Walker, 2013).
In the modern world, an electric potential is used in medicine to produce
electrocardiogram which is a graphic showing the electrical activity of the heart as a ...
