  2. Carbon-12 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-12

    In 1980, the CIPM clarified the above definition, defining that the carbon-12 atoms are unbound and in their ground state. In 2018, IUPAC specified the mole as exactly 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 "elementary entities". The number of moles in 12 grams of carbon-12 became a matter of experimental determination.

  3. Dalton (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The dalton or unified atomic mass unit (symbols: Da or u, respectively) is a unit of mass defined as ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state and at rest. [1] [2] It is a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI.

  4. Circuit breaker (overcurrent) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B32_circuit_breaker

    A circuit breaker is an electrical safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by current in excess of that which the equipment can safely carry (overcurrent).

  5. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    Single pole, single throw: One-way: Two-way: A simple on-off switch: The two terminals are either connected together or disconnected from each other. An example is a light switch. SPST-NO. Form A [4] Single pole, single throw, normally open A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally disconnected (open) and are closed when the switch ...

  6. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In contrast to a simple light switch, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch, multiway switching uses switches with one or more additional contacts and two or more wires are run between the switches. When the load is controlled from only two points, single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are used.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_the...

    Single-pole switches are most commonly used to control circuits. These switches isolate only the line conductor feeding the load and are used for lighting and other smaller loads. For larger loads like air conditioners, cookers, water heaters and other fixed appliances a double-pole switch is used, which also isolates the neutral for greater ...

  8. Dangling bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_bond

    When a free radical exists in an immobilized environment (for example, a solid), it is referred to as an "immobilized free radical" or a "dangling bond". A dangling bond in (bulk) crystalline silicon is often pictured as a single unbound hybrid sp 3 orbital on the silicon atom, with the other three sp 3 orbitals facing away from the unbound ...

  9. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    For a single wood utility pole structure, a pole is placed in the ground, then three crossarms extend from this, either staggered or all to one side. The insulators are attached to the crossarms. For an "H"-type wood pole structure, two poles are placed in the ground, then a crossbar is placed on top of these, extending to both sides.
