What is the main idea behind mads? what can be detected by using mads? a brief history of the mad development? & : )

In 1917 the interest in the detection of submarines started with the study hydrophones. Then in 1918, the U.S. considered to use the magnetism in this area but it did not result to be practical as it had a limited detection range.

Then by 1941 in Britain and in U.S. developed magnetic detection devices to measure Earth’s magnetic field, so after that in 1943 MADs were installed in ASW aircrafts.

Due to the limited range and its lack of ability to detect the magnetic variance from different sources, MAD started to be used in combination with sonobuoys. This combination allowed an aircraft to localize submarines with the confirmation of sonobuoys.

Explanation:

MADs are Magnetic Anomaly Detectors. Their function is to detect anomaly in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by submarines.

Submarines are made of ferrous metal which contain domains that are tiny magnets form of iron molecules. This material creates a disturbance that can be detected in the magnetic field.

explanation:

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.
