  2. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    Paschen's law is an equation that gives the breakdown voltage, that is, the voltage necessary to start a discharge or electric arc, between two electrodes in a gas as a function of pressure and gap length. [2] [3] It is named after Friedrich Paschen who discovered it empirically in 1889. [4]

  3. Galvanostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanostat

    A galvanostat (also known as amperostat) is a control and measuring device capable of keeping the current through an electrolytic cell in coulometric titrations constant, disregarding changes in the load itself.

  4. Chronoamperometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronoamperometry

    Double-pulsed chronoamperometry waveform showing integrated region for charge determination.. In electrochemistry, chronoamperometry is an analytical technique in which the electric potential of the working electrode is stepped and the resulting current from faradaic processes occurring at the electrode (caused by the potential step) is monitored as a function of time.

  5. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

  6. Cyclic voltammetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_voltammetry

    Stirring the solution between cyclic voltammetry traces is important in order to supply the electrode surface with fresh analyte for each new experiment. The solubility of an analyte can change drastically with its overall charge; as such it is common for reduced or oxidized analyte species to precipitate out onto the electrode. This layering ...

  7. Pseudocapacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocapacitance

    Pseudocapacitive processes lead to a charge-dependent, linear capacitive behavior, as well as the accomplishment of non-faradaic double-layer capacitance in contrast to batteries, which have a nearly charge-independent behavior. The amount of pseudocapacitance depends on the surface area, material and structure of the electrodes.

  8. Electric discharge in gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_discharge_in_gases

    E: unstable region: corona discharge F: sub-normal glow discharge G: normal glow discharge H: abnormal glow discharge I: unstable region: glow-arc transition J: electric arc K: electric arc The A-D region is called a dark discharge; there is some ionization, but the current is below 10 microamperes and there is no significant amount of ...

  9. Electric discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_discharge

    In electromagnetism, an electric discharge is the release and transmission of electricity in an applied electric field through a medium such as a gas (i.e., an outgoing flow of electric current through a non-metal medium).
