  2. Clausius–Mossotti relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius–Mossotti_relation

    For example, the Clausius–Mossotti relation is accurate for N 2 gas up to 1000 atm between 25 °C and 125 °C. [5] Moreover, the Clausius–Mossotti relation may be applicable to substances if the applied electric field is at a sufficiently high frequencies such that any permanent dipole modes are inactive. [6]

  3. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    On the other hand, the vertical component of the wave's electric field is reflected at grazing angles of incidence approximately in phase. These phase shifts apply as well to a ground modeled as a good electrical conductor. The currents in an antenna appear as an image in opposite phase when reflected at grazing angles. This causes a phase ...

  4. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    A dipole is characterised by its dipole moment, a vector quantity shown in the figure as the blue arrow labeled M. It is the relationship between the electric field and the dipole moment that gives rise to the behaviour of the dielectric. (Note that the dipole moment points in the same direction as the electric field in the figure.

  5. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    Eddy currents are minimized in these devices by selecting magnetic core materials that have low electrical conductivity (e.g., ferrites or iron powder mixed with resin) or by using thin sheets of magnetic material, known as laminations. Electrons cannot cross the insulating gap between the laminations and so are unable to circulate on wide arcs.

  6. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    A mechanical analogy in the K = 1 case with magnetic field energy (1/2)Li 2 is a body with mass M, velocity u and kinetic energy (1/2)Mu 2. The rate of change of velocity (current) multiplied with mass (inductance) requires or generates a force (an electrical voltage).

  7. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    The electric and magnetic fields in such a wave are in-phase with each other, reaching minima and maxima together. Electric and magnetic fields obey the properties of superposition. Thus, a field due to any particular particle or time-varying electric or magnetic field contributes to the fields present in the same space due to other causes.

  8. Radio wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_wave

    The waves interfere, often causing fading and other reception problems. Ground waves: At lower frequencies below 2 MHz, in the medium wave and longwave bands, due to diffraction vertically polarized radio waves can bend over hills and mountains, and propagate beyond the horizon, traveling as surface waves which follow the contour of the Earth ...

  9. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    Three single-phase Soviet/Russian 110-kV oil circuit breakers 400 kV SF 6 live-tank circuit breakers Electrical power transmission networks are protected and controlled by high-voltage breakers. The definition of high voltage varies but in power transmission work is usually thought to be 72.5 kV or higher, according to a recent definition by ...
