How do Smoke Alarms Work?

It takes nearly four minutes for a small flame to turn in a big fire. There should be smoke alarms in every house and office so that the first whiff of smoke can be detected to save the life of people. Smoke detectors are of mainly two types one is the ionized detector and other is photoelectric detectors.

Smoke alarms sometimes use both methods and heat detectors too. The detectors get power from the 9 volt lithium battery or 120 volts from the wiring. IONIOZATION DETECTORS Ionization chamber with the source of ionizing radiation which becomes the source of alpha particles is present in the ionization detectors.

This chamber has two plates at a distance of a centimeter. When the power is supplied through battery then one plate gets positively charged and other one negatively. The alpha particles released continuously by the radiation ionize the atoms of oxygen and nitrogen air in the chamber.

The negative plate attracts the positively charged atoms of oxygen and nitrogen. And ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
