  2. 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 ...

  3. Conductive charging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_charging

    The technology is sometimes called "conductive wireless charging". [1] The need for a conductor-to-conductor connection between the power supply and the device is the main difference from inductive charging and other forms of wireless charging. The conductive power supply, often a charging base or pad, detects when a compatible receiver or ...

  4. Inductive charging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging

    Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging or cordless charging) is a type of wireless power transfer. It uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. Inductive charging is also used in vehicles, power tools, electric toothbrushes, and medical devices.

  5. Charge transport mechanisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_transport_mechanisms

    Similar to electron conduction, the electrical resistance of thin-film electrolytes depends on the applied electric field, such that when the thickness of the sample is reduced, the conductivity improves due to both the reduced thickness and the field-induced conductivity enhancement.

  6. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    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] A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and or slide against each other and then separate.

  7. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    Illustration of triboelectric charging from contacting asperities. The details of how and why tribocharging occurs are not established science as of 2023. One component is the difference in the work function (also called the electron affinity) between the two materials. [48] This can lead to charge transfer as, for instance, analyzed by Harper.

  8. Space charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_charge

    Space charge is an inherent property of all vacuum tubes. This has at times made life harder or easier for electrical engineers who used tubes in their designs. For example, space charge significantly limited the practical application of triode amplifiers which led to further innovations such as the vacuum tube tetrode.

  9. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    The definition of electrostatic potential, combined with the differential form of Gauss's law (above), provides a relationship between the potential Φ and the charge density ρ: =. This relationship is a form of Poisson's equation. [11]
