  2. Free electron model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_electron_model

    where is the current density, is the external electric field, is the electronic density (number of electrons/volume), is the mean free time and is the electron electric charge. Other quantities that remain the same under the free electron model as under Drude's are the AC susceptibility, the plasma frequency , the magnetoresistance , and the ...

    power-system automation The implementation of power-operated switching and control that allows automatic operation of power system elements, instead of manual operation. power-system protection The technology of limiting the spread of failures of a power system to a minimum, and of preventing permanent damage to apparatus or conductors by such ...

  4. Electrostatic-sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic-sensitive_device

    In response to this problem, Robert F. Gabriel, a Systems Engineer at Sperry Univac devised a large number of possible symbols that could be affixed to parts, packaging, and PCBs to alert the user that the part is ESD-sensitive. Gabriel developed a proposal for an ESD warning symbol and circulated it to numerous electronics standards groups. C.

  5. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    A bound system is typically at a lower energy level than its unbound constituents because its mass must be less than the total mass of its unbound constituents. For systems with low binding energies, this "lost" mass after binding may be fractionally small, whereas for systems with high binding energies, the missing mass may be an easily ...

  6. Moisture analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_analysis

    Moisture dew point is the temperature at which moisture condenses out of a gas. This parameter is inherently related to the moisture content, which defines the amount of water molecules as a fraction of the total. Both can be used as a measure of the amount of moisture in a gas and one can be calculated from the other fairly accurately.

  7. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    The system is closed (i.e., no matter enters or leaves the system). If the system at State A is isobarically heated (heating with no change in system pressure), then the relative humidity of the system decreases because the equilibrium vapor pressure of water increases with increasing temperature. This is shown in State B.

  8. Earth battery - Wikipedia

    The free electrons then flow into one electrode to a greater degree than in the other electrode, thereby causing electric current to flow in the external circuit through the load. The current flows from that plate whose position in the electropotential series is near the negative end (such as palladium ).

  9. Exciton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton

    An electron and an electron hole that are attracted to each other by electromagnetism can form a bound state called an exciton.It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle that exists mainly in condensed matter, including insulators, semiconductors, some metals, but also in certain atoms, molecules and liquids.
