  2. Kelvin bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_bridge

    To overcome this, a second pair of resistors R′ 1 and R′ 2 form a second pair of arms of the bridge (hence 'double bridge') and are connected to the inner potential terminals of R s and R x (identified as P 2 and P′ 2 in the diagram). The detector D is connected between the junction of R 1 and R 2 and the junction of R′ 1 and R′ 2. [2]

  3. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    In power supply design, a bridge circuit or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of diodes or similar devices used to rectify an electric current, i.e. to convert it from an unknown or alternating polarity to a direct current of known polarity. In some motor controllers, an H-bridge is used to control the direction the motor turns.

  4. Inconel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconel

    Inconel 690: Low cobalt content for nuclear applications, and low resistivity [71] Inconel 706; Inconel 713C: Precipitation hardenable nickel-chromium base cast alloy [2] Inconel 718: Gamma double prime strengthened with good weldability [72] Inconel 738; Inconel X-750: Commonly used for gas turbine components, including blades, seals and rotors.

  5. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  6. Ampere balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere_balance

    Slider of Kelvin's ampere balance. Approximate readings may be obtained by reading the position of the weight on the scale, or a more accurate reading may be obtained as follows: The upper edge of the shelf on which the weights slide is graduated into equal divisions, and the weight is provided with a sharp tongue of metal in order that its position on the shelf may be accurately determined.

  7. Unijunction transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unijunction_transistor

    The UJT has three terminals: an emitter (E) and two bases (B 1 and B 2) and so is sometimes known a "double-base diode". The base is formed by a lightly doped n-type bar of silicon. Two ohmic contacts B 1 and B 2 are attached at its ends. The emitter is of heavily-doped p-type material. The single PN junction between the emitter and the base ...

  8. Kelvin water dropper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

    The Kelvin water dropper, invented by Scottish scientist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in 1867, [1] is a type of electrostatic generator. Kelvin referred to the device as his water-dropping condenser. The apparatus is variously called the Kelvin hydroelectric generator, the Kelvin electrostatic generator, or Lord Kelvin's thunderstorm.

    The kelvin now only depends on the Boltzmann constant and universal constants (see 2019 SI unit dependencies diagram), allowing the kelvin to be expressed as: [2] 1 kelvin = ⁠ 1.380 649 × 10 −23 / (6.626 070 15 × 10 −34)(9 192 631 770) ⁠ ⁠ h Δν Cs / k B ⁠ ≈ 2.266 6653 ⁠ h Δν Cs / k B ⁠.
