  2. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    In static friction there is coupling between elastic strains, polarization and surface charge which contributes to the frictional force. [82] In sliding friction, [ 108 ] when asperities contact [ 38 ] and there is charge transfer, some of the charge returns as the contacts are released, some does not [ 109 ] and will contribute to the ...

  3. Polarization density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_density

    The net charge appearing as a result of polarization is called bound charge and denoted . This definition of polarization density as a "dipole moment per unit volume" is widely adopted, though in some cases it can lead to ambiguities and paradoxes.

  4. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    This charge neutralizes the charge in the gold leaves, so the leaves come together again. The electroscope now contains a net charge opposite in polarity to that of the charged object. When the electrical contact to earth is broken, e.g. by lifting the finger, the extra charge that has just flowed into the electroscope cannot escape, and the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    where = is the distance of each charge from the test charge, which situated at the point , and () is the electric potential that would be at if the test charge were not present. If only two charges are present, the potential energy is Q 1 Q 2 / ( 4 π ε 0 r ) {\displaystyle Q_{1}Q_{2}/(4\pi \varepsilon _{0}r)} .

  6. Space charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_charge

    Space charge can result from a range of phenomena, but the most important are: Combination of the current density and spatially inhomogeneous resistance; Ionization of species within the dielectric to form heterocharge; Charge injection from electrodes and from a stress enhancement; Polarization in structures such as water trees. "Water tree ...

  7. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    Illustration of polarization due to a negative charge. In any material, if there is an inversion center then the charge at, for instance, + and are the same. This means that there is no dipole. If an electric field is applied to an insulator, then (for instance) the negative charges can move slightly towards the positive side of the field, and ...

  8. Polarization (electrochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization...

    In electrochemistry, polarization is a collective term for certain mechanical side-effects (of an electrochemical process) by which isolating barriers develop at the interface between electrode and electrolyte. These side-effects influence the reaction mechanisms, as well as the chemical kinetics of corrosion and metal deposition.

  9. Polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization

    Polarization (antenna), the state of polarization (in the above sense) of electromagnetic waves transmitted by or received by a radio antenna; Dielectric polarization, charge separation in insulating materials: Polarization density, volume dielectric polarization; Dipolar polarization, orientation of permanent dipoles
