  2. Test probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_probe

    [12] [failed verification] These probes are also called resistive divider probes, since a 50 ohm transmission line presents a purely resistive load. The Z 0 name refers to the characteristic impedance of the oscilloscope and cable. The matched impedances provide better high-frequency performance than an unmatched passive probe can achieve, but ...

  3. Periodontal probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_probe

    Michigan O probe with Williams markings (left) and Naber's probe with shades alternating every 3 mm (right). Proper use of the periodontal probe is necessary to maintain accuracy. The tip of the instrument is placed with light pressure of 10-20 grams [ 1 ] into the gingival sulcus , which is an area of potential space between a tooth and the ...

  4. Probe tip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probe_Tip

    A probe tip is an instrument used in scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) to scan the surface of a sample and make nano-scale images of surfaces and structures. The probe tip is mounted on the end of a cantilever and can be as sharp as a single atom .

  5. Sessile drop technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessile_drop_technique

    The surface energy is measured in units of joules per square meter, which is equivalent in the case of liquids to surface tension, measured in newtons per meter.The overall surface tension/energy of a liquid can be acquired through various methods using a tensiometer or using the pendant drop method and maximum bubble pressure method.

  6. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The energy required to accelerate a 1 kg mass at 1 m/s 2 through a distance of 1 m. The kinetic energy of a 2 kg mass travelling at 1 m/s, or a 1 kg mass travelling at 1.41 m/s. The energy required to lift an apple up 1 m, assuming the apple has a mass of 101.97 g. The heat required to raise the temperature of 0.239 g of water from 0 °C to 1 ...

  7. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    Energy is defined via work, so the SI unit of energy is the same as the unit of work – the joule (J), named in honour of James Prescott Joule [1] and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units

  8. Plasma diagnostics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_diagnostics

    An energy analyzer is a probe used to measure the energy distribution of the particles in a plasma. The charged particles are typically separated by their velocities from the electric and/or magnetic fields in the energy analyzer, and then discriminated by only allowing particles with the selected energy range to reach the detector.

  9. Erg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erg

    The erg is a unit of energy equal to 10 −7 joules (100 nJ). It is not an SI unit, instead originating from the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). Its name is derived from ergon (ἔργον), a Greek word meaning 'work' or 'task'. [1] An erg is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimetre.
