  2. Coalescer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescer

    An alternative to this type of coalescer is a flow through pre-coalescer that is installed upstream in a separator tank. In the Compact Electrostatic Coalescer, [2] droplet coalescence is achieved by applying AC electric fields (50–60 Hz) to water-in-oil emulsions under turbulent-flow conditions. The turbulence increases the collision ...

  3. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    A screen acts the same as a solid metal sheet for electrostatic charge, as long as its holes are small. The inner cylinder is the Faraday pail container itself, separated from the outer cylinder with insulating supports. The outer cylindrical metal screen surrounds the inner, and acts as a ground to shield it from stray charges.

  4. Stability of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_of_matter

    In real life electrons are indeed fermions, but finding the right way to use Pauli's principle and prove stability turned out to be remarkably difficult. Michael Fischer and David Ruelle formalized the conjecture in 1966 [ 10 ] According to Dyson, Fischer and Ruelled offered a bottle of Champagne to anybody who could prove it. [ 11 ]

  5. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    Therefore, the electrostatic field everywhere inside a conductive object is zero, and the electrostatic potential is constant. The electric field, E {\displaystyle \mathbf {E} } , in units of Newtons per Coulomb or volts per meter, is a vector field that can be defined everywhere, except at the location of point charges (where it diverges to ...

  6. Electrorheological fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrorheological_fluid

    The electrostatic theory assumes just a two phase system, with dielectric particles forming chains aligned with an electric field in an analogous way to how magnetorheological fluid (MR) fluids work. An ER fluid has been constructed with the solid phase made from a conductor coated in an insulator. [ 5 ]

  7. Earnshaw's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earnshaw's_theorem

    Earnshaw's theorem states that a collection of point charges cannot be maintained in a stable stationary equilibrium configuration solely by the electrostatic interaction of the charges. This was first proven by British mathematician Samuel Earnshaw in 1842. It is usually cited in reference to magnetic fields, but was first applied to ...

  8. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    Such experiments led to the theory of two types of electric charge, one being the negative of the other, with a simple sum respecting signs giving the total charge. The electrostatic attraction of the charged plastic pen to neutral uncharged pieces of paper (for example) is due to induced dipoles [36]: Chapter 27 in the paper.

  9. Self-energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-energy

    In chemistry, the self-energy or Born energy of an ion is the energy associated with the field of the ion itself. [citation needed]In solid state and condensed-matter physics self-energies and a myriad of related quasiparticle properties are calculated by Green's function methods and Green's function (many-body theory) of interacting low-energy excitations on the basis of electronic band ...
