An extrinsic property is not essential or inherent to the subject that is being characterized. For example, mass is an intrinsic property of any physical object , whereas weight is an extrinsic property that depends on the strength of the gravitational field in which the object is placed.
There are two types of stacking faults caused by Frank partial dislocations: intrinsic and extrinsic. An intrinsic stacking fault forms by vacancy agglomeration and there is a missing plane with sequence ABCA_BA_BCA, where BA is the stacking fault. [5] An extrinsic stacking fault is formed from interstitial agglomeration, where there is an ...
David Lewis offered a list of criteria that should condense the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic properties (numbers and italics added): [1]. A sentence or statement or proposition that ascribes intrinsic properties to something is entirely about that thing; whereas an ascription of extrinsic properties to something is not entirely about that thing, though it may well be about some ...
Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas by limiting the energy, electrical and thermal, available for ignition. In signal and control circuits that can operate with low currents and voltages, the intrinsic safety approach simplifies circuits and reduces installation cost over ...
Reproductive isolation between a hybrid species and its parental species can arise from a variety of reproductive barriers either before or after fertilization (prezygotic or postzygotic, respectively), which may themselves be dependent or independent of environmental conditions (extrinsic or intrinsic barriers, respectively).

Extrinsic motivation is based on external factors, like rewards obtained by completing an activity. The distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is based on the source or origin of the motivation. Intrinsic motivation comes from within the individual, who engages in an activity out of enjoyment, curiosity, or a sense of fulfillment.
While extrinsic mortality is reduced both within developed countries and beyond, extrinsic risk is not perceived to be applied equally. A study conducted in North America demonstrates that in areas of lower socioeconomic status, people perceive themselves to be more susceptible to extrinsic mortality factors rather than intrinsic mortality factors.
An integral, or intrinsic, membrane protein (IMP) [1] is a type of membrane protein that is permanently attached to the biological membrane. All transmembrane proteins can be classified as IMPs, but not all IMPs are transmembrane proteins. [2] IMPs comprise a significant fraction of the proteins encoded in an organism's genome. [3]
