  2. Active region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_region

    An active region with at least two sunspots or sunspot groups that have opposite magnetic polarity (hence β) but no well-defined neutral line dividing the opposite polarities (hence γ). δ: A qualifier to the other classes indicating the presence of opposite polarity umbrae within a single penumbra separated by at most 2° in heliographic ...

  3. Hale's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hale's_law

    Each spot is labeled with an N (for North) or an S (for South) indicating its magnetic polarity. Each sunspot group is composed of two spots of opposite polarity with the rightmost leading and the leftmost trailing. Active regions are often bipolar, with two poles of opposite magnetic polarity rooted in the photosphere.

  4. Veridicality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veridicality

    Negation is veridical, though of opposite polarity, sometimes called antiveridical: "Paul didn't see a snake" asserts that the statement "Paul saw a snake" is false.In English, non-indicative moods or irrealis moods are frequently used in a nonveridical sense: "Paul may have seen a snake" and "Paul would have seen a snake" do not assert that Paul actually saw a snake and the second implies ...

  5. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  6. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    The electroscope is first discharged, and a charged object is then brought close to the instrument's top terminal. Induction causes a separation of the charges inside the electroscope's metal rod, so that the top terminal gains a net charge of opposite polarity to that of the object, while the gold leaves gain a charge of the same polarity ...

  7. Cell polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_polarity

    Epithelial cells also exhibit planar cell polarity, in which specialized structures are orientated within the plane of the epithelial sheet. Some examples of planar cell polarity include the scales of fish being oriented in the same direction and similarly the feathers of birds, the fur of mammals, and the cuticular projections (sensory hairs ...

  8. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    If C has a negative charge, the charges have opposite polarity. Since the container was originally uncharged, the two regions have equal and opposite charges. The induction process is reversible: in Procedure 4, when C is removed, the attraction of the opposite charges cause them to intermingle again, and the charge on the surfaces reduces to zero.

  9. Polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity

    Polarity of gender, when a word takes the opposite grammatical gender than expected; Polarity item, in linguistics, the sensitiveness of some expression to negative or affirmative contexts; Affirmation and negation, also known as grammatical polarity; Sexual polarity, a concept of dualism between masculine and feminine
