Al-Jahra Governorate (Arabic: محافظة الجهراء Muḥāfaẓat al-Ǧahrāʾ) is one of the six governorates of Kuwait.[2] It is the largest Governorate in Kuwait accounting for 63 percent of its land area. It includes the town of Al Jahra, most of the northern and western parts of Kuwait, several islands (among them Bubiyan Island),[3] and also western districts of Kuwait City. It also contains most of Kuwait's arable land. Al Jahra also has some historic relevance to Kuwait's history.[4] The Red Palace or Al Qasr Al Ahmar is the most important historical landmark there.[5]

Historically, Al Jahra was an agricultural oasis village and most locals were farmers.[6][7] Al Jahra's most notable residents included Sheikh Thuwainy Bin Abdullah Al-Saadoun (Sheikh of Al-Muntafiq) in 1786, when he fled from Baghdad to Suleiman Pasha. He wanted to occupy Basra and Sheikh Abdullah Al-Sabah hosted him until he returned to Baghdad after he was pardoned by the Iraqi governor.

In 1925, Al-Jahra was under the administrative or governmental jurisdiction of Kuwait City, and the population lived on the cultivation of palm trees and a little wheat and barley. Al Jahra contained 170 houses including the palace of Pasha al-Naqib and the palace of the Mubarak al-Sabah. Nowadays Al Jahra is a modern city and farming has been reduced to various small farms. The geographic midpoint of Kuwait is located in this governorate.

Gaya Lorentz

Gaya Lorentz adalah gaya (dalam bidang fisika) yang ditimbulkan oleh muatan listrik yang bergerak atau oleh arus listrik yang berada dalam suatu medan magnet. Jika ada sebuah penghantar yang dialiri arus listrik dan penghantar tersebut berada dalam medan magnetik maka akan timbul gaya yang disebut dengan nama gaya magnetik atau dikenal juga nama gaya Lorentz.[1] Arah dari gaya Lorentz selalu tegak lurus dengan arah kuat arus listrik (l) dan induksi magnetik yang ada (B).

Morphism

Map (arrow) between two objects of a category In mathematics, a morphism is a concept of category theory that generalizes structure-preserving maps such as homomorphism between algebraic structures, functions from a set to another set, and continuous functions between topological spaces. Although many examples of morphisms are structure-preserving maps, morphisms need not to be maps, but they can be composed in a way that is similar to function composition. Morphisms and objects are constitue...
