The original "up to eleven" knobs in the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap "Up to eleven", also phrased as "these go to eleven", is an idiom from popular culture, coined in the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap, where guitarist Nigel Tufnel demonstrates a guitar amplifier whose volume knobs are marked from zero to eleven, instead of the usual zero to ten.
To help compare different orders of magnitude this section lists lengths between 10 −11 and 10 −10 m (10 pm and 100 pm). 25 pm – approximate radius of a helium atom, the smallest neutral atom [64] [65] 30.8568 pm – 1 rontoparsec; 50 pm – radius of a hydrogen atom; 50 pm – bohr radius: approximate radius of a hydrogen atom
Mesa-Boogie "Mark IV", a guitar combo amplifier The Mesa/Boogie Mark Series is a series of guitar amplifier made by Mesa Engineering (more commonly known as "Mesa/Boogie"). "). Originally just referred to as "Boogies", the product line took on the moniker "Mark Series" as newer revisions were put into produ
An ammeter (abbreviation of ampere meter) is an instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name. For direct measurement, the ammeter is connected in series with the circuit in which the current is to be measured.
[2] [11] Since a conductor is a flexible object with uniform weight per unit length, the shape of a conductor strung between two towers approximates that of a catenary . The sag of the conductor (vertical distance between the highest and lowest point of the curve) varies depending on the temperature and additional load such as ice cover.
As of the 2019 revision of the SI, the ampere is defined by fixing the elementary charge e to be exactly 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C, [6] [9] which means an ampere is an electric current equivalent to 10 19 elementary charges moving every 1.602 176 634 seconds or 6.241 509 074 × 10 18 elementary charges moving in a second.
where E is the electric field vector with units of volts per meter (analogous to V of Ohm's law which has units of volts), J is the current density vector with units of amperes per unit area (analogous to I of Ohm's law which has units of amperes), and ρ "rho" is the resistivity with units of ohm·meters (analogous to R of Ohm's law which has ...
The basic unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems is the yard, defined as exactly 0.9144 m by international treaty in 1959. [2] [10] Common imperial units and U.S. customary units of length include: [11] thou or mil (1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch) inch (25.4 mm) foot (12 inches, 0.3048 m) yard (3 feet, 0.9144 m)
