  2. Levitated Dipole Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitated_Dipole_Experiment

    The device was the first of its kind to test the levitated dipole concept and was funded by the US Department of Energy. [1] The machine was also part of a collaboration between the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and Columbia University , where another (non-levitated) dipole experiment, the Collisionless Terrella Experiment (CTX), was ...

  3. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    The monopole antenna is essentially one half of the half-wave dipole, a single ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ wavelength element with the other side connected to ground or an equivalent ground plane (or counterpoise). Monopoles, which are one-half the size of a dipole, are common for long-wavelength radio signals where a dipole would be impractically large.

  4. Diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode

    With appropriate biasing, dipole domains form and travel across the diode, allowing high frequency microwave oscillators to be built. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) In a diode formed from a direct band-gap semiconductor, such as gallium arsenide , charge carriers that cross the junction emit photons when they recombine with the majority carrier ...

  5. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    A dipole is characterised by its dipole moment, a vector quantity shown in the figure as the blue arrow labeled M. It is the relationship between the electric field and the dipole moment that gives rise to the behaviour of the dielectric. (Note that the dipole moment points in the same direction as the electric field in the figure.

    A succession of sparks jumping from the key to the back of his hand showed that lightning was indeed electrical in nature. [16] He also explained the apparently paradoxical behavior [17] of the Leyden jar as a device for storing large amounts of electrical charge in terms of electricity consisting of both positive and negative charges. [14]

    They design, develop, test, and supervise the deployment of electrical systems and electronic devices. For example, they may work on the design of telecommunications systems, the operation of electric power stations, the lighting and wiring of buildings, the design of household appliances, or the electrical control of industrial machinery. [106]

  8. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    [1] [2] [3] For example, if a 1 m 3 solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Ω, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Ω⋅m. Electrical conductivity (or specific conductance) is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. It represents a material's ability to conduct ...

  9. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    The electrodes that form these signals are located on the limbs – one on each arm and one on the left leg. [41] [42] The limb leads form the points of what is known as Einthoven's triangle. [43] Lead I is the voltage between the (positive) left arm (LA) electrode and right arm (RA) electrode: =
