  2. Surface charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_charge

    When a surface is immersed in a solution containing electrolytes, it develops a net surface charge.This is often because of ionic adsorption. Aqueous solutions universally contain positive and negative ions (cations and anions, respectively), which interact with partial charges on the surface, adsorbing to and thus ionizing the surface and creating a net surface charge. [9]

  3. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    The electrostatic field (lines with arrows) of a nearby positive charge (+) causes the mobile charges in conductive objects to separate due to electrostatic induction. Negative charges (blue) are attracted and move to the surface of the object facing the external charge. Positive charges (red) are repelled and move to the surface facing away ...

  4. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    This is a list of materials ordered by how they develop a charge relative to other materials on the list. Johan Carl Wilcke published the first one in a 1757 paper. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] The series was expanded by Shaw [ 1 ] and Henniker [ 71 ] by including natural and synthetic polymers, and included alterations in the sequence depending on surface ...

  5. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor. [1]

  6. List of electrical phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electrical_phenomena

    When two objects were touched together, sometimes the objects became spontaneously charged (οne negative charge, one positive charge). Corona effect — Build-up of charges in a high-voltage conductor (common in AC transmission lines), which ionizes the air and produces visible light, usually purple.

  7. Emulsion stabilization using polyelectrolytes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_stabilization...

    = the surface to surface distance of the spherical particles. = the thermodynamic temperature = the Debye length. In addition, pH and ionic strength have a great influence on electrostatic interactions because these affect the "magnitude of electrical charge" in solution. [17]

  8. Surface modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_modification

    Surface modification is the act of modifying the surface of a material by bringing physical, chemical or biological characteristics different from the ones originally found on the surface of a material. [1] This modification is usually made to solid materials, but it is possible to find examples of the modification to the surface of specific ...

  9. Electret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret

    Real-charge electrets which contain excess free charges such as electrons or electron holes of one or both polarities which can move around, either [8] on the dielectric's surfaces (a surface charge) within the dielectric's volume (a space charge) Space charge electrets [9] with internal bipolar charges known as ferroelectrets.
