  2. Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_testing

    [4] Variations in the electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability of the test object, and the presence of defects causes a change in eddy current and a corresponding change in phase and amplitude that can be detected by measuring the impedance changes in the coil, which is a telltale sign of the presence of defects. [5]

  3. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

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

    Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current.

  4. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    The AC current density J in a conductor decreases exponentially from its value at the surface J S according to the depth d from the surface, as follows: [4]: 362 = (+) / where is called the skin depth which is defined as the depth below the surface of the conductor at which the current density has fallen to 1/e (about 0.37) of J S.

  5. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

    A corona discharge is an electrical discharge caused by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor carrying a high voltage. It represents a local region where the air (or other fluid) has undergone electrical breakdown and become conductive, allowing charge to continuously leak off the conductor into the air.

  6. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity_(electrolytic)

    The electrical conductivity of a solution of an electrolyte is measured by determining the resistance of the solution between two flat or cylindrical electrodes separated by a fixed distance. [4] An alternating voltage is generally used in order to minimize water electrolysis. [citation needed] The resistance is measured by a conductivity meter.

  7. Partial discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_discharge

    These will stay on the inner surface of surrounding metalwork (to a depth of approximately 0.5 μm in mild steel at 100 MHz) and loop around to the outer surface wherever there is an electrical discontinuity in the metalwork. There is a secondary effect whereby electromagnetic waves generated by the partial discharge also generate TEVs on the ...

  8. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  9. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    There is evidence that tribocharging can occur between combinations of solids, liquids and gases, for instance liquid flowing in a solid tube or an aircraft flying through air. Often static electricity is a consequence of the triboelectric effect when the charge stays on one or both of the objects and is not conducted away.
