  2. 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.

  3. Clausius–Mossotti relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius–Mossotti_relation

    For example, the Clausius–Mossotti relation is accurate for N 2 gas up to 1000 atm between 25 °C and 125 °C. [5] Moreover, the Clausius–Mossotti relation may be applicable to substances if the applied electric field is at a sufficiently high frequencies such that any permanent dipole modes are inactive.

  4. Piezoelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity

    The change in P appears as a variation of surface charge density upon the crystal faces, i.e. as a variation of the electric field extending between the faces caused by a change in dipole density in the bulk. For example, a 1 cm 3 cube of quartz with 2 kN (500 lbf) of correctly applied force can produce a voltage of 12500 V. [20]

  5. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)

    The ridges are used to add surface area, which improves the electrical resistance of the insulator. Three-core copper wire power cable, each core with an individual colour-coded insulating sheath, all contained within an outer protective sheath. An electrical insulator is a material in which electric current does not flow freely. The atoms of ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Ceramic capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_capacitor

    The dielectric strength of class 2 ceramic and plastic film diminishes with rising frequency. Therefore, their capacitance value decreases with increasing frequency. This phenomenon is related to the dielectric relaxation in which the time constant of the electrical dipoles is the reason for the frequency dependence of permittivity. The graph ...

  8. Charge density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (three dimensional), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  9. Work function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_function

    The work function is not simply dependent on the "internal vacuum level" inside the material (i.e., its average electrostatic potential), because of the formation of an atomic-scale electric double layer at the surface. [7] This surface electric dipole gives a jump in the electrostatic potential between the material and the vacuum.
