  2. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    In electrical engineering, current sensing is any one of several techniques used to measure electric current. The measurement of current ranges from picoamps to tens of thousands of amperes. The selection of a current sensing method depends on requirements such as magnitude, accuracy, bandwidth, robustness, cost, isolation or size. The current ...

  3. Coulter counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulter_counter

    Electrical current is passed through electrodes on either side of the aperture tube; because glass is an electrical insulator, all of this current flows through the aperture. After recording baseline data, the sample to be analyzed is slowly added to the conducting liquid and drawn through the aperture.

  4. Biobattery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biobattery

    Like any battery, bio-batteries consist of an anode, cathode, separator, and electrolyte with each component layered on top of another. Anodes and cathodes are the positive and negative areas on a battery that allow electrons to flow in and out. The anode is located at the top of the battery and the cathode is located at the bottom of the battery.

  5. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    The current's charge carriers are deflected by the Lorentz force in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to their flow. The sensing electrodes measure the potential difference (the Hall voltage) proportional to the axial component of the magnetic field that is perpendicular to both the current's axis and the sensing electrodes' axis. [5]

  6. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    The electrons, the charge carriers in an electrical circuit, flow in the direction opposite that of the conventional electric current. The symbol for a battery in a circuit diagram. The conventional direction of current, also known as conventional current, [10] [11] is arbitrarily defined as the direction in which positive charges flow.

  7. Magnetometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetometer

    Helium vector magnetometer (HVM) of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetic field or magnetic dipole moment.Different types of magnetometers measure the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a particular location.

  8. Biasing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biasing

    A graphical representation of the current and voltage properties of a transistor; the bias is selected so that the operating point permits maximum signal amplitude without distortion. In electronics , biasing is the setting of DC ( direct current ) operating conditions (current and voltage) of an electronic component that processes time-varying ...

  9. Measurement and signature intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_and_Signature...

    Remote sensing geometry—relationships between scanning sensor and target The instantaneous field of view (IFOV) is the area from which radiation currently impinges on the detector. The swath width is the distance, centered on the sensor path, from which signal will be captured in a single scan.
