  2. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    If C has a positive charge, the negative charges in the metal are attracted to it and move to the inner surface of the container, while the positive charges are repelled and move to the outside surface. If C has a negative charge, the charges have opposite polarity. Since the container was originally uncharged, the two regions have equal and ...

  3. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    Charge number (denoted z) is a quantized and dimensionless quantity derived from electric charge, with the quantum of electric charge being the elementary charge (e, constant). The charge number equals the electric charge ( q , in coulombs ) divided by the elementary charge: z = q / e .

  4. Icemaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icemaker

    An icemaker, ice generator, or ice machine may refer to either a consumer device for making ice, found inside a home freezer; a stand-alone appliance for making ice, or an industrial machine for making ice on a large scale. The term "ice machine" usually refers to the stand-alone appliance.

  5. Vanadium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium

    The concentration of vanadium in the blood of ascidian tunicates is as much as ten million times higher [specify] [102] [103] than the surrounding seawater, which normally contains 1 to 2 μg/L. [104] [105] The function of this vanadium concentration system and these vanadium-bearing proteins is still unknown, but the vanadocytes are later ...

  6. Surface charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_charge

    According to Gauss’s law, a conductor at equilibrium carrying an applied current has no charge on its interior.Instead, the entirety of the charge of the conductor resides on the surface, and can be expressed by the equation: = where E is the electric field caused by the charge on the conductor and is the permittivity of the free space.

  7. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Electric charge is a conserved property: the net charge of an isolated system, the quantity of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge, cannot change. Electric charge is carried by subatomic particles. In ordinary matter, negative charge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms ...

  8. Vanadium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium_compounds

    Vanadium compounds are compounds formed by the element vanadium (V). The chemistry of vanadium is noteworthy for the accessibility of the four adjacent oxidation states 2–5, whereas the chemistry of the other group 5 elements , niobium and tantalum , are somewhat more limited to the +5 oxidation state.

  9. Charge conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_conservation

    In physics, charge conservation is the principle, of experimental nature, that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. [1] The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved .
