  2. Electrodynamic tether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_tether

    Here , , and describe the current gain from point A to B, the current lost from point B to C, and the current lost at point C, respectively. Since the current is continuously changing along the bare length of the tether, the potential loss due to the resistive nature of the wire is represented as ∫ A C I ( y ) d R t {\displaystyle \textstyle ...

  3. Birkeland current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland_current

    Schematic of the Birkeland or Field-Aligned Currents and the ionospheric current systems they connect to, Pedersen and Hall currents. [1]A Birkeland current (also known as field-aligned current, FAC) is a set of electrical currents that flow along geomagnetic field lines connecting the Earth's magnetosphere to the Earth's high latitude ionosphere.

  4. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    A thermal switch (sometimes thermal reset or thermal cutout (TCO)) is a device which normally opens at a high temperature (often with a faint "plink" sound) and re-closes when the temperature drops. The thermal switch may be a bimetallic strip, often encased in a tubular glass bulb to protect it from dust or short circuit. Another common design ...

  5. Electromagnetic coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_coil

    The greater the number of turns of wire, the stronger the field produced. Conversely, a changing external magnetic flux induces a voltage in a conductor such as a wire, due to Faraday's law of induction. [3] [4] The induced voltage can be increased by winding the wire into a coil because the field lines intersect the circuit multiple times. [3]

  6. Magnetohydrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamics

    Schematic view of the different current systems which shape the Earth's magnetosphere. In many MHD systems most of the electric current is compressed into thin nearly-two-dimensional ribbons termed current sheets. [10] These can divide the fluid into magnetic domains, inside of which the currents are relatively weak.

  7. Telluric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current

    A telluric current (from Latin tellūs 'earth'), or Earth current, [1] is an electric current that flows underground or through the sea, resulting from natural and human-induced causes. These currents have extremely low frequency and traverse large areas near or at Earth 's surface.

  8. Cable harness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_harness

    A cable laced wiring harness installed in a component of a Tesla coil Harness of car audio cables. A cable harness, also known as a wire harness, wiring harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly or wiring loom, is an assembly of electrical cables or wires which transmit signals or electrical power.
