After being cross-examined for motives, alibis, and other clues, [57] the players used mini-computer terminals to deduce the solution. [111] According to Westmore, the success of episodes depended a lot of the type of studio audience, pointing to shows which invited groups of police officers and Air Force officers. [8]
Each sailing craft is a system that mobilizes wind force through its sails—supported by spars and rigging—which provide motive power and reactive force from the underbody of a sailboat—including the keel, centerboard, rudder or other underwater foils—or the running gear of an ice boat or land craft, which allows it to be kept on a course.
The electrostatic force F acting on a charge q can be written in terms of the electric field E as =, By definition, the change in electrostatic potential energy, U E , of a point charge q that has moved from the reference position r ref to position r in the presence of an electric field E is the negative of the work done by the electrostatic ...
The electromotive force generated by motion is often referred to as motional emf. When the change in flux linkage arises from a change in the magnetic field around the stationary conductor, the emf is dynamically induced. The electromotive force generated by a time-varying magnetic field is often referred to as transformer emf.
Motive power may refer to: In thermodynamics, natural agents such as water or steam, wind or electricity, that do work; In mechanics, the mechanical energy associated with the motion and position of an object; In physics, a synonym for power; In mechanical engineering, the source of mechanical power of a propulsion system; It may also refer to:
As another writer has said, with the coming of Jenkin's and Maxwell's books all impediments in the way of electrical students were removed, "the full meaning of Ohm's law becomes clear; electromotive force, difference of potential, resistance, current, capacity, lines of force, magnetization and chemical affinity were measurable, and could be ...
Hence researchers created the term proton-motive force (PMF), derived from the electrochemical gradient mentioned earlier. It can be described as the measure of the potential energy stored ( chemiosmotic potential ) as a combination of proton and voltage (electrical potential) gradients across a membrane.
The term reluctance was coined in May 1888 by Oliver Heaviside. [1] The notion of "magnetic resistance" was first mentioned by James Joule in 1840. [2] The idea for a magnetic flux law, similar to Ohm's law for closed electric circuits, is attributed to Henry Augustus Rowland in an 1873 paper. [3]
