  2. Dissipative system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipative_system

    Dissipative systems can also be used as a tool to study economic systems and complex systems. [2] For example, a dissipative system involving self-assembly of nanowires has been used as a model to understand the relationship between entropy generation and the robustness of biological systems. [3]

  3. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    Eddy currents (I, red) induced in a conductive metal plate (C) as it moves to the right under a magnet (N). The magnetic field ( B , green ) is directed down through the plate. The Lorentz force of the magnetic field on the electrons in the metal induces a sideways current under the magnet.

  4. Electrostatic discharge materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge...

    Conductive Static Dissipative Anti-Static Insulative: Description Carbon powders and fiber: No initial charge. Provides path for charge to bleed off. Typically black color. No or low initial charge. Prevents discharge to or from human contact Initial charges are suppressed. Typically pink color. Insulators and Base Polymers. Not an ESD material

  5. Electrostatic discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge

    In all these cases, the breaking of contact between two materials results in tribocharging, thus creating a difference of electrical potential that can lead to an ESD event. Another cause of ESD damage is through electrostatic induction. This occurs when an electrically charged object is placed near a conductive object isolated from the ground.

  6. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

    There are two types used in static control: Static Dissipative Mats, and Conductive Mats. A static dissipative mat that rests on a conductive surface (commonly the case in military facilities) are typically made of 3 layers (3-ply) with static dissipative vinyl layers surrounding a conductive substrate which is electrically attached to ground ...

  7. Dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation

    In thermodynamics, dissipation is the result of an irreversible process that affects a thermodynamic system.In a dissipative process, energy (internal, bulk flow kinetic, or system potential) transforms from an initial form to a final form, where the capacity of the final form to do thermodynamic work is less than that of the initial form.

  8. Passivity (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivity_(engineering)

    In control systems and circuit network theory, a passive component or circuit is one that consumes energy, but does not produce energy. Under this methodology, voltage and current sources are considered active, while resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, tunnel diodes, metamaterials and other dissipative and energy-neutral components are considered passive.

  9. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    In electromagnetism, a dielectric (or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field.When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor, because they have no loosely bound, or free, electrons that may drift through the material, but instead they ...
