Working of Watch---"REVEALED"....."70% of us were in dark about it"

                                     Working of Watch---

                                                   "REVEALED"

You know in this busy life, we generally ignore the things which really mean to us. The thing is, around 90% of you reading must be knowing what is special and general relativity(and a fraction, maybe understanding).

you know, the functioning of our watch depends upon the a particle oscillator..ya that's true..thou hard to believe....... So below...is reveled the secret of working of  a clock

 

The watch, which ever may it be, are quartz clocks.But earlier, before their discovery, their were pendulum clocks. it was due to this reason that, earlier, people have to set it again and again. and after the discovery of the quartz clocks, everything changed....


In a quartz clock, their are various components, such as a particle oscillator, cell, processor, gears, motor etc. The process starts when cell supply a dc current to the particle oscillator, now what does this thing do is, it provides electricity to the quartz crystal, present in it, which is a piezoelectric substance. Now, the question arises what a piezoelectric substance is?  A piezoelectric substance, is a substance that produces electricity when given pressure or vibration and produces vibration when given electricity. In the clocks, the reverse property is used, the cell provides dc current that produces a vibration in the in the oscillator, now this vibration is counted by the process in the clock, when it reads 1 million vibrations per second, it sends signal to the cell, which then gives current once for the motor, and the clocks ticks the first second successfully !!!!!
