1.1 Dielectric Materials Dielectric materials are insulating materials that exhibit the property of electrical polarization. Dielectric materials support charge by acquiring a polarisation in an electric field. 1.1.1 Electric susceptibility and permittivity When a capacitor with capacitance C0 is filled with a dielectric material, its charge storage capacity (capacitance) increases to a value of C. Than susceptibility (χ^') of the dielectric materials is given by χ^'= (C-C_0)/C Dielectric…

Summary background conclusions Summary Of “How Do Photovoltaics Work” Photovoltaics is a term referring to the direct conversion of light into electricity at the atomic level as explained in How do Photovoltaics Work. The way that photovoltaics work is through the property known as the ‘photoelectric effect’ that causes some materials to absorb photons of light and release electrons that are captured, forming an electric current. “The photoelectric effect was first noted by a French physicist,…

Dipole-dipole array has wide using in resistivity/I.P. surveys because of the low E.M. coupling between the current and potential circuits. The arrangement of the electrodes is shown in Figure( )., Electrodes c1 and c2 are separated by a distance (a), and electrodes p1 and p2 are separated by a distance (b). the distance between the potential electrodes pair c1-c2 is the same as the distance between the potential electrodes pair P1-P2 and the distance between the centers of the respective…

Electrochromism is the reversible change in optical properties when a material is electrochemically oxidized or reduced[6] and can be simply represented by Equation (1), where M+ can be H+, Li+, Na+ or K+ , 0 < x < 1, and e- are denoting electrons.[2] (transparent) WO3 + xM+ + xe- ↔ 2 MxWO3 (deep blue) ------------- Equation (1) An electrochromic system consists of an ion-containing material (electrolyte) that is of close proximity to the electrochromic layer and the transparent layers…

a) According to the right-hand rule, the direction of the magnetic fields of the 3 wires are shown: We find the magnetic fields B1, B2 and B3: 퐵1=퐵2= 푢0 푖 = 푢0 푖 = 4∗3.14×10−7 ∗(3.65) =ퟒퟐ.ퟔퟔퟎ풖푻 2휋푟 2휋( 2푎) 2 ∗ 3.14 ∗( 2(0.0121)) 퐵3= 푢0 푖 = 푢0 푖 = 4∗3.14×10−7 ∗(3.65) =ퟐퟎ.ퟏퟏퟎ풖푻 2휋푟 2휋(3푎) 2 ∗ 3.14 ∗(3∗(0.0121)) The x components of the B1 and B2 cancel each other; therefore the net magnetic field will be downward and we have (the negative sign is because the direction is downward): 퐵=− 퐵1cos 45 +…

5.4. Electrosensitive hydrogels Hydrogel swells in response to an electrical stimulus with a mechanism very similar to pH, experiences shrinkage, and bending. The major difference between electrical and pH stimulations is that the electric field moves mobile ions in order to regulate an ion concentration gradient through the hydrogel and the solution [54,55]. Polymeric networks containing ionizable groups can have important electrical behavior under an electric field. The electrosensitive…

reasonable to say that it is a diffusion-controlled (reversible) reaction. According to Fig. 2, the reaction is an irreversible redox reaction at the electrode electrolyte interface at low sweep rate. This irreversible nature of the electrode reduces the charge-transfer processes at the interface. We believe that this is a possible reason for the decrease in the supercapacitive properties with the scan…

Consumer Credit: Too Easy To Fail What comes to mind when the term “credit” is used varies from person to person. Maybe credit means a pair of shiny new shoes, or just a fun shopping trip in general. Or maybe credit invokes stress when a pile of bills and late notices comes to mind. Or maybe, nothing comes to mind at all, because cash is king. Like everything, credit over the years has evolved. It has changed its face and grown into something much different from when it began. In today…

how it works. One should also understand that electricity is a type of energy. Electricity is simply the flow of electric charge. This may sound fairly straight forward, but there is a lot more to this simple statement. One might wonder: Where exactly is this charge coming from? What is obtaining this charge? How is the charge flowing and to where? How does an electric charge power a machine or make lights light up? The answer to all these questions begin with the basic building blocks of matter…

much smaller and have less mass than atoms, and that they are uniformly present in many different types of substances. With this new discovery, the question of a balancing positive charge arose. Atoms are known to be charge-neutral, so it was believed that they must contain a positive charge that balanced the negative charge of the electron. Thomson proposed that the electrons, which are negatively charged, were small particles contained within a positively charged sphere. The model of this was…
