  3. Polarity (international relations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(international...

    The Cold War period was widely understood as one of bipolarity with the USA and the USSR as the world's two superpowers, whereas the end of the Cold War led to unipolarity with the US as the world's sole superpower in the 1990s and 2000s. Scholars have debated how to characterize the current international system. [2] [3] [4]

  4. Bipolar junction transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_junction_transistor

    Hundreds of bipolar junction transistors can be made in one circuit at a very low cost. Bipolar transistor integrated circuits were the main active devices of a generation of mainframe and minicomputers, but most computer systems now use Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor integrated circuits relying on the field-effect transistor (FET).

  5. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    A block diagram of a bipolar HVDC transmission system, between two stations designated A and B. AC – represents an alternating current network CON – represents a converter valve, either rectifier or inverter, TR represents a power transformer, DCTL is the direct-current transmission line conductor, DCL is a direct-current filter inductor ...

  6. Dipole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

    German physicist Heinrich Hertz first demonstrated the existence of radio waves in 1887 using what we now know as a dipole antenna (with capacitative end-loading). On the other hand, Guglielmo Marconi empirically found that he could just ground the transmitter (or one side of a transmission line, if used) dispensing with one half of the antenna, thus realizing the vertical or monopole antenna.

  7. Electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity

    One henry is the inductance that will induce a potential difference of one volt if the current through it changes at a rate of one ampere per second. The inductor's behaviour is in some regards converse to that of the capacitor: it will freely allow an unchanging current but opposes a rapidly changing one. [57]: 226–29

  8. Bipolar Disorder: 4 Types & What You Need to Know About Them

    Experts haven’t identified one exact cause of bipolar disorder. But like most other mental disorders, several things might increase a person’s risk of developing the illness. This includes an ...

  9. Bipolarisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolarisation

    The term bipolarization was used to describe the division of the world during the Cold War (1947–1991) between the communist Eastern Bloc, centred on the USSR, and the capitalist Western Bloc. It also defines the state of international relations during this period, dominated by the confrontation between two superpowers , the United States ...
