Power, Control and Suffering in Poetry and Literature

Comparing Power and Control in Ozymandias and London

Both Shelley and Blake present power as destructive when it is abused. In Ozymandias, Shelley describes the ruler’s “sneer of cold command”. The alliteration emphasises Ozymandias’s arrogance and cruelty, suggesting that he believes he has complete control over others. However, the statement “Nothing beside remains” reveals that his power is temporary because time has destroyed his kingdom. Similarly, in London, Blake uses the metaphor “mind-forg’

Materials Science and Applied Physics Questions and Answers

Electrical Conductivity: Metals vs. Plastics

Why is the electrical conductivity of metals very high while that of plastics is very low?

Metals: Metallic bonding leaves valence electrons delocalised as an “electron sea” (about 1028–1029 electrons/m3). In band theory, the conduction band is partly filled or overlaps the valence band, so there is no energy gap. Electrons move freely under a small field. Conductivity is approximately 106–108 S/m.

Plastics: Atoms are held by strong covalent bonds,
