  2. Excited state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excited_state

    Atoms can be excited by heat, electricity, or light. The hydrogen atom provides a simple example of this concept.. The ground state of the hydrogen atom has the atom's single electron in the lowest possible orbital (that is, the spherically symmetric "1s" wave function, which, so far, has been demonstrated to have the lowest possible quantum numbers).

  3. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    Except for permanent magnet generators, a generator produces output voltage proportional to the magnetic flux, which is the sum of flux from the magnetization of the structure and the flux proportional to the field produced by the excitation current.

  4. Exciton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton

    An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force resulting from their opposite charges. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle regarded as an elementary excitation primarily in condensed matter, such as insulators, semiconductors, some metals, and in some liquids.

  5. Electron excitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_excitation

    A schematic of electron excitation, showing excitation by photon (left) and by particle collision (right) Electron excitation is the transfer of a bound electron to a more energetic, but still bound state.

  6. Rabies - Wikipedia

    The second is the excitative stage, which lasts three to four days. This stage is often known as "furious rabies" for the tendency of the affected animal to be hyper-reactive to external stimuli and bite or attack anything near. In some cases, animals skip the excitative stage and develop paralysis, as in the third phase; the paralytic phase.

    root mean square The root mean square value of a waveform is the DC value that corresponds to equivalent heating value. rotary converter An electric machine that converts electric power between two forms, say, AC and DC or single-phase and three phase, or between two different frequencies of AC (the latter two can be performed by the same machine).

  8. Sexual arousal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_arousal

    The potential stimuli for sexual arousal vary from person to person, and from one time to another, as does the level of arousal. Stimuli can be classified according to the sense involved: somatosensory (touch), visual, and olfactory (scent). Auditory stimuli are also possible, though they are generally considered secondary in role to the other ...

  9. Definition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition

    A definition states the meaning of a word using other words. This is sometimes challenging. Common dictionaries contain lexical descriptive definitions, but there are various types of definition – all with different purposes and focuses. A definition is a statement of the meaning of a term (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols).
