Free Trade, Protectionism, and Economic Shifts: 1800s
Free Trade and Protectionism
1. Protectionism: The Repeal of the Corn Laws
In 1846, Britain abolished the Corn Laws (tariffs on the trade of cereals). It is a 2×2 model = 2 commodities and 2 sectors; however, Labor (L) can only be in 1 sector.
Consequences of the Repeal:
- Point C: If the price (P) of food changes, which in this case falls because of the abolition of the law, there is a new equilibrium point. There will be a fall in the demand for labor in the food sector (DLF) since there are more workers

AC Electrical Machines: Synchronous Motors
AC Electrical Machines
Synchronous Motors and Generators
AC electrical machines are classified into two main types:
- Synchronous motors and generators: The coil inductor current is supplied by a separate source of direct current (DC).
- Induction motors: The inductor winding current is provided by magnetic induction.
Differences Between AC and DC Machines
The location of the coils and inductors differs depending on the type of machine. In an AC machine, there is no electrical connection between the rotor

Listening in Language Learning
Listening to Books: Teachers’ talk is a major source of language input for children. Students become accustomed to the intonation patterns and sounds that the teacher provides. Most students will be able to deduce meaning from the context or gestures used by the teacher in class.
Teaching English
Should start with listening and speaking. These are the two main skills to teach first, in order to read and write properly. Introduce them gradually. Use gestures along with

Steiner’s Theorem
Determining the moment of inertia about an axis of symmetry can be quite complicated by integration. Steiner’s Theorem simplifies this determination. It provides a relationship between the moment of inertia about an axis through a random point of the plane and the moment of inertia about a parallel axis through the center of mass.
Ie = ∫ (x² + y²) dm = ∫ [x² + (d + y)²] dm = ∫ (x² + y²) – 2dy dm + d² ∫ dm = Iz + Md²

Isabella and Ferdinand: The Unification of Spain
By the Treaty of Guisando (1468), Henry IV recognized his sister Isabella as heir to the Castilian throne, against the interests of the king’s daughter, Juana “la Beltraneja.” Isabella secretly married Ferdinand of Aragon in 1469. On the death of Henry IV, civil war broke out between Isabella (supported by Aragon) and Juana (supported by Portugal, France, and parts of the Castilian nobility).
