  2. Atmospheric electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity

    Atmospheric ions created by cosmic rays and natural radioactivity move in the electric field, so a very small current flows through the atmosphere, even away from thunderstorms. Near the surface of the Earth, the magnitude of the field is on average around 100 V/m, [4] oriented such that it drives positive charges down. [5]

  3. Group 11 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_11_element

    Group 11, by modern IUPAC numbering, [1] is a group of chemical elements in the periodic table, consisting of copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), and roentgenium (Rg), although no chemical experiments have yet been carried out to confirm that roentgenium behaves like the heavier homologue to gold. Group 11 is also known as the coinage metals ...

  4. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    The magnetic field of a magnetic dipole has an inverse cubic dependence in distance, so its order of magnitude at the earth surface can be approximated by multiplying the above result with (R outer core ⁄ R Earth) 3 = (2890 ⁄ 6370) 3 = 0.093 , giving 2.5×10 −5 Tesla, not far from the measured value of 3×10 −5 Tesla at the equator.

  6. Ground conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_conductivity

    Ground conductivity is an extremely important factor in determining the field strength and propagation of surface wave (ground wave) radio transmissions. Low frequency (30–300 kHz) and medium frequency (300–3000 kHz) radio transmissions are particularly reliant on good ground conductivity as their primary propagation is by surface wave. [1]

  7. Pedersen current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedersen_current

    The first expression for the Pedersen conductivity was formulated by Peder Oluf Pedersen from Denmark in his 1927 work "The Propagation of Radio Waves along the Surface of the Earth and in the Atmosphere", [3] [4] [5] where he pointed out that the geomagnetic field means that the conductivity of the ionosphere is anisotropic.

    Gold mining stocks offer the chance to earn high returns by buying shares in gold mining companies. However, company performance adds another layer of complexity, as it affects the stock value ...

  9. Ionosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere

    The worldwide solar-driven wind results in the so-called Sq (solar quiet) current system in the E region of the Earth's ionosphere (ionospheric dynamo region) (100–130 km (60–80 mi) altitude). [citation needed] Resulting from this current is an electrostatic field directed west–east (dawn–dusk) in the equatorial day side of the ionosphere.
