The original "up to eleven" knobs in the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap "Up to eleven", also phrased as "these go to eleven", is an idiom from popular culture, coined in the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap, where guitarist Nigel Tufnel demonstrates a guitar amplifier whose volume knobs are marked from zero to eleven, instead of the usual zero to ten.
10 −3: 1 – 5mA: Cathode ray tube electron gun beam current [2] 10 −2: 10 mA Through the hand to foot may cause a person to freeze and be unable to let go [1] 20 mA Common light-emitting diode (constant current); also deadly limit for skin contact (at 120–230 V) 80 mA Upper limit for TENS modeled for 500 Ω [3] 10 −1: 150 mA
10 meters (very rarely termed a decameter which is abbreviated as dam) is equal to: 10 meters; 100 decimeters; 1,000 centimeters; 10,000 millimeters; 10,000,000 micrometers (or rarely 10,000,000 microns) 32.8 feet; 11 yards; side of a square with area 100 m²
Electric utilities measure power using electricity meters, which keep a running total of the electric energy delivered to a customer. Unlike fossil fuels , electricity is a low entropy form of energy and can be converted into motion or many other forms of energy with high efficiency.
As of the 2019 revision of the SI, the ampere is defined by fixing the elementary charge e to be exactly 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C, [6] [9] which means an ampere is an electric current equivalent to 10 19 elementary charges moving every 1.602 176 634 seconds or 6.241 509 074 × 10 18 elementary charges moving in a second.
[10] Porcelain insulators may have a semi-conductive glaze finish, so that a small current (a few milliamperes) passes through the insulator. This warms the surface slightly and reduces the effect of fog and dirt accumulation. The semiconducting glaze also ensures a more even distribution of voltage along the length of the chain of insulator units.
[11] [12] [13] Some of their tube amplifiers rank among the finest ever created for home audio and theater use. [14] Their Unity Coupled Circuit, patented at the brand's inception, is still used today in products like their MC275 amplifier, whose vacuum tubes—used in many of the company's products—help to impart a lifelike warmth and soul ...
The shed is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −24 barns (100 rm 2 = 10 −52 m 2). The outhouse is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −6 barns (100 am 2 = 10 −34 m 2). The barn (b) is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to one hundred femtometres squared (100 fm 2 = 10 −28 m 2).
