What was the world's first university?and top ten world best university

As per the record Taxila was the first university in the world, also known as Takshashila, flourished from 600 BC to 500 AD, in the kingdom of Gandhar. 68 subjects were taught at this university and the minimum entry age, ancient texts show, was 16. At one stage, it had 10,500 students including those from Babylon, Greece, Syria, and China. Experienced masters taught the vedas, languages, grammar, philosophy, medicine, surgery, archery, politics, warfare, astronomy, accounts, commerce, documentation, music, dance and other performing arts, futurology, the occult and mystical sciences,complex mathematical calculations. The panel of masters at the university included legendary scholars like Kautilya, Panini, Jivak and Vishnu Sharma. Thus, the concept of a full-fledged university was developed in India.

10 Most Popular Newspapers In The World You Should Read If You Can

The more society is developed the more means of communication are required. Among means of communication, newspapers play an important role in our life. We are pleased to present this section of top newspapers in the world. 1. The Guardian (UK) Formerly known as The Manchester Guardian, this newspaper was founded in 1821 by a group of non-conformist businessmen headed by John Edward Taylor. The much-quoted article “comment is free but facts are sacred” is still used to explain the values of the present-day newspaper. 2. The Wall Street Journal (USA) In 1882, with 2 associates, newspaperman Charles Henry Dow founded Dow Jones and Company, a news agency for the financial world.

The Wall Street Journal is a special paper for people in the business and economic communities, yet it goes far beyond that desi...

What is a transformer? All things about transformer

One of the main reasons that we use alternating AC voltages and currents in our homes and workplace’s is that AC supplies can be easily generated at a convenient voltage, transformed (hence the name transformer) into much higher voltages and then distributed around the country using a national grid of pylons and cables over very long distances. The reason for transforming the voltage to a much higher level is that higher distribution voltages implies lower currents for the same power and therefore lower I 2 *R losses along the networked grid of cables. These higher AC transmission voltages and currents can then be reduced to a much lower, safer and usable voltage level where it can be used to supply electrical equipment in our homes and workplaces, and all this is possible thanks to the basic  Voltage Transformer . A Typical Voltage Transformer The  Voltage Transformer  can be thought of as an electrical component rather than an electronic component. A tra...
