  2. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

    Copper building wire is compatible with brass and quality plated screws. The wire provides connections that will not corrode or creep. It is not, however, compatible with aluminium wire or connectors. If the two metals are joined, a galvanic reaction can occur. Anodic corrosion during the reaction can disintegrate the aluminium. This is why ...

  3. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    If a contact patch is sufficiently small, with dimensions comparable or smaller than the mean free path of electrons resistance at the patch can be described by the Sharvin mechanism, whereby electron transport can be described by ballistic conduction. Generally, over time, contact patches expand and the contact resistance at an interface ...

  4. Separator (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(electricity)

    Diagram of a battery with a polymer separator. A separator is a permeable membrane placed between a battery's anode and cathode.The main function of a separator is to keep the two electrodes apart to prevent electrical short circuits while also allowing the transport of ionic charge carriers that are needed to close the circuit during the passage of current in an electrochemical cell.

  5. Drude model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drude_model

    This is because metals have essentially a better approximation to the free electron model, i.e. metals do not have complex band structures, electrons behave essentially as free particles and where, in the case of metals, the effective number of de-localized electrons is essentially the same as the valence number. [Ashcroft & Mermin 5]

  6. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    Skin effect itself is not actually combatted in these cases, but the distribution of currents near the conductor's surface makes the use of precious metals (having a lower resistivity) practical. Although it has a lower conductivity than copper and silver, gold plating is also used, because unlike copper and silver, it does not corrode.

  7. Terminal (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_(electronics)

    Terminal symbol A terminal strip, to which wires can be soldered. A terminal is the point at which a conductor from a component, device or network comes to an end. [1] Terminal may also refer to an electrical connector at this endpoint, acting as the reusable interface to a conductor and creating a point where external circuits can be connected.

  8. Electrical conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conductor

    The flow of negatively charged electrons generates electric current, positively charged holes, and positive or negative ions in some cases. In order for current to flow within a closed electrical circuit, one charged particle does not need to travel from the component producing the current (the current source) to those consuming it (the loads).

  9. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    Corrosion control professionals find they do not work. [48] There is no peer reviewed scientific testing and validation supporting the use of the devices. In 1996 the FTC ordered David McCready, a person that sold devices claiming to protect cars from corrosion, to pay restitution and banned the names "Rust Buster" and "Rust Evader." [49]
