  2. Electrostatic fieldmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_Fieldmeter

    An electrostatic fieldmeter, also called a static meter is a tool used in the static control industry. It is used for non-contact measurement of electrostatic charge on an object. It measures the force between the induced charges in a sensor and the charge present on the surface of an object.

  3. Lichtenberg figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtenberg_figure

    The point is positioned very near or contacting the plate. A source of high voltage such as a Leyden jar (a type of capacitor) or a static electricity generator is applied to the needle, typically through a spark gap. This creates a sudden, small electrical discharge along the surface of the plate. This deposits stranded areas of charge onto ...

  4. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    Parasitic resistance is a more general term, of which it is usually assumed that contact resistance is a major component. William Shockley [ 1 ] introduced the idea of a potential drop on an injection electrode to explain the difference between experimental results and the model of gradual channel approximation.

  5. Wilson current mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_current_mirror

    The mirror circuit of Fig. 5 forces the drain current of M1 to equal the input current and the output configuration assures that the output current equals the drain current of M2. Expanding equation (8) in a two-variable Taylor series about i D 1 {\displaystyle \scriptstyle i_{D1}} and truncating after the first linear term, leads to an ...

  6. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current.

  7. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor. [1]

  8. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    The output impedance is a measure of the source's propensity to drop in voltage when the load draws current, the source network being the portion of the network that transmits and the load network being the portion of the network that consumes. Because of this the output impedance is sometimes referred to as the source impedance or internal ...

  9. Field-effect transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-effect_transistor

    The device consists of an active channel through which charge carriers, electrons or holes, flow from the source to the drain. Source and drain terminal conductors are connected to the semiconductor through ohmic contacts. The conductivity of the channel is a function of the potential applied across the gate and source terminals.
