  2. Mosquito coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_coil

    Mosquito coil Mosquito coil. A mosquito coil is a mosquito-repelling incense, usually made into a spiral, and typically made using dried paste of pyrethrum powder. The coil is usually held at the center of the spiral, suspending it in the air, or wedged by two pieces of fireproof netting to allow continuous smoldering.

  3. Electromagnetic coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_coil

    A coil with a core which is a straight bar or other non-loop shape is called an open-core coil. This has lower magnetic field and inductance than a closed core, but is often used to prevent magnetic saturation of the core. A coil without a ferromagnetic core is called an air-core coil. [14]

  4. Insect repellent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_repellent

    A mosquito coil. An insect repellent (also commonly called "bug spray") is a substance applied to the skin, clothing, or other surfaces to discourage insects (and arthropods in general) from landing or climbing on that surface.

  5. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A) The sum total of protons (or electrons) and neutrons within an atom. audio frequency A periodic vibration whose frequency is in the band audible to the average human, the human hearing range.

  6. Tesla (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_(unit)

    1 T to 2.4 T – coil gap of a typical loudspeaker magnet; 1.5 T to 3 T – strength of medical magnetic resonance imaging systems in practice, experimentally up to 17 T [10] 4 T – strength of the superconducting magnet built around the CMS detector at CERN [11] 5.16 T – the strength of a specially designed room temperature Halbach array [12]

  7. Helmholtz coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_coil

    A Helmholtz coil Helmholtz coil schematic drawing. A Helmholtz coil is a device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field, named after the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. It consists of two electromagnets on the same axis, carrying an equal electric current in the same direction. Besides creating magnetic fields, Helmholtz ...

  8. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    A field coil may be connected in shunt, in series, or in compound with the armature of a DC machine (motor or generator). For a machine using field coils, as is the case in most large generators, the field must be established by a current in order for the generator to produce electricity.

  9. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    Coil noise mitigation actions include: add some glue (e.g. a layer of glue is often added on the top of television coils ; over the years, this glue degrades and the sound level increases) change the shape of the coil (e.g. change coil shape to a figure eight rather than a traditional coil shape)
