Electricity generation is the process of generating electrical energy from other forms of energy.. The fundamental principle of electricity generation was discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday.
An electric current is a flow of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is defined as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface.
Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current.
U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit.
When discussing the chemical energy contained, there are different types which can be quantified depending on the intended purpose. One is the theoretical total amount of thermodynamic work that can be derived from a system, at a given temperature and pressure imposed by the surroundings, called exergy.
Comparison of Rayleigh–Jeans law with Wien approximation and Planck's law, for a body of 5800 K temperature.. In physics, the Rayleigh–Jeans law is an approximation to the spectral radiance of electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength from a black body at a given temperature through classical arguments.
The Department of Electrical Services (DES; Malay: Jabatan Perkhidmatan Elektrik) is an electric utility company in Brunei responsible for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity to end users. [1]
Spintronics emerged from discoveries in the 1980s concerning spin-dependent electron transport phenomena in solid-state devices. This includes the observation of spin-polarized electron injection from a ferromagnetic metal to a normal metal by Johnson and Silsbee (1985) [5] and the discovery of giant magnetoresistance independently by Albert Fert et al. [6] and Peter Grünberg et al. (1988). [7]
