  2. Electrodynamic tether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_tether

    Here , , and describe the current gain from point A to B, the current lost from point B to C, and the current lost at point C, respectively. Since the current is continuously changing along the bare length of the tether, the potential loss due to the resistive nature of the wire is represented as ∫ A C I ( y ) d R t {\displaystyle \textstyle ...

  3. Birkeland current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland_current

    A Birkeland current (also known as field-aligned current, FAC) is a set of electrical currents that flow along geomagnetic field lines connecting the Earth's magnetosphere to the Earth's high latitude ionosphere. In the Earth's magnetosphere, the currents are driven by the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and by bulk motions ...

  4. System Management Bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_Bus

    SMBus 2.0 defines a ‘High Power’ class that includes a 4 mA sink current that cannot be driven by I²C chips unless the pull-up resistor is sized to I²C-bus levels. NXP devices have a higher power set of electrical characteristics than SMBus 1.0. The main difference is the current sink capability with V OL = 0.4 V. SMBus low power = 350 μA

  5. Magnetohydrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamics

    Schematic view of the different current systems which shape the Earth's magnetosphere. In many MHD systems most of the electric current is compressed into thin nearly-two-dimensional ribbons termed current sheets. [10] These can divide the fluid into magnetic domains, inside of which the currents are relatively weak.

  6. Telluric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current

    A telluric current (from Latin tellūs 'earth'), or Earth current, [1] is an electric current that flows underground or through the sea, resulting from natural and human-induced causes. These currents have extremely low frequency and traverse large areas near or at Earth 's surface. Earth's crust and mantle are host to telluric currents, with ...

  7. Ring current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_current

    Schematic view of the different current systems which shape the Earth's magnetosphere. Earth 's ring current is responsible for shielding the lower latitudes of the Earth from magnetospheric electric fields. It therefore has a large effect on the electrodynamics of geomagnetic storms. The ring current system consists of a band, at a distance of ...

  9. Cryotron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryotron

    The cryotron is a switch that operates using superconductivity. [1] The cryotron works on the principle that magnetic fields destroy superconductivity. This simple device consists of two superconducting wires (e.g. tantalum and niobium) with different critical temperature (Tc). The cryotron was invented by Dudley Allen Buck of the Massachusetts ...
