context1: If a piece of copper wire was wound, around the <strong>nail</strong> and then connected to a battery, it would create an electro magnet. The magnetic field that is generated in the wire, from the current, is known as the “right <strong>hand</strong> thumb rule”. (V-1) The strength of the magnetic field can be changed by changing both wire size and the amount of wire (turns).
context2: In the history of art, the pairing of cats and women was an allusion to feminine wiles and sexual aggression, as exemplified in Manet’s notorious Olympia. It is also interesting to consider that the artist has paid particular attention to the sharp, talon-like <strong>nails</strong> on the long fingers of his model. In life Maar’s well-manicured <strong>hands</strong> were one of her most beautiful and distinctive features, and here they have taken on another, more violent characteristic.
