As the 2018 school year comes to a close, people around the world are looking ahead to 2019 — and this means new college rankings.
Every year, college students and college grads alike pore over college rankings to see where their schools landed. These rankings attempt to highlight universities that do an excellent job of educating students and producing ground-breaking research.
UK-based higher education analytics company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) analyzed data from 1,000 of the world's best universities and found that while American institutions continue to dominate, there are several schools beyond the U.S. that crack the top 10 universities in the world.

Here are the 10 best universities in the world for 2019:

10. University College London (UCL)

9. University of Chicago

MIT topped the QS list for the seventh consecutive year in a row. No other university has managed such a long run at the top. Stanford University, Harvard University and California Institute of Technology (Caltech) also retained their positions at second, third and fourth in the world respectively.
Oxford University is the highest ranking school outside of the U.S., closely followed by rival university, Cambridge.
"We owe this result to the talent and commitment of our academic staff and to our network of research collaborators across the continent and across the globe," says Professor Louise Richardson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, to QS. "We are particularly proud to have secured the top spot in Europe and very much hope that we will be able to maintain this position as the U.K. withdraws from the European Union."
The only school outside of the United Kingdom and the United States to make the top 10 is ETH Zurich, in Switzerland, which focuses on science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields and enrolls approximately 19,233 students.

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...
