Group work and Wiki posting on Edison and his career. Start with the following sites as you do your research:

• IEEE Virtual Museum on Edison (4 pages)
• IEEE Edison's Lighting System
• IEEE Light Bulbs
• Edison's Light Bulb Patent, 1879 (click on images)
• IEEE Pearl Street Station
• Website for Edison's Miracle of Light
• Edison Papers, Edison's Patents
• Edison National Historical Site
• Library of Congress, Inventing Entertainment (Motion Pictures and Sound Recordings of the Edison Companies)

Then put together an account of what you consider to be Edison's most important inventions (at least two) with a description of each and your group's view of why they were important.

Also add a section explaining: 1) how Ohm's Law shaped Edison's design for the light bulb and associated systems (Jonnes 59-60); and 2) why Edison made "the internal resistence much smaller than the external load rather than having equal internal and external resistence" in his generators (Jonnes 62).

Post your group's report to the Wiki at the appropriate page below:

Group 1
Group 2
Group 3

Do not copy copy directly from your sources but synthesize what you learn and write your own accounts. Put a citation after each item to those pages in Jonnes, websites, or other sources you used in putting together your entries. The division of labor in your group is up to you but each entry to this page should include the names of those who did the writing and research. Also remember to put your group memebers' names at the top of the page. Organize and format your entries so the information is acessible and easy to read.
