  2. Thermoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

    Thermoelectric sorting functions similarly to a thermocouple but involves an unknown material instead of an unknown temperature: a metallic probe of known composition is kept at a constant known temperature and held in contact with the unknown sample that is locally heated to the probe temperature, thereby providing an approximate measurement ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Sessile drop technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessile_drop_technique

    The main premise of the method is that by placing a droplet of liquid with a known surface energy and contact angle, the surface energy of the solid substrate can be calculated. [2] The liquid used for such experiments is referred to as the probe liquid, and the use of several different probe liquids is required.

  5. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    A multimeter can use many different test probes to connect to the circuit or device under test. Crocodile clips, retractable hook clips, and pointed probes are the three most common types. Tweezer probes are used for closely spaced test points, as for instance surface-mount devices. The connectors are attached to flexible, well insulated leads ...

  6. 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

  7. 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 ...

    potential energy: joule (J) internal energy: joule (J) relativistic mass: kilogram (kg) energy density: joule per cubic meter (J/m 3) specific energy: joule per kilogram (J/kg) voltage also called electric potential difference volt (V) volume: cubic meter (m 3) shear force: velocity: meter per second (m/s)

    Series of needle probes used for transient line source measurements. Photo shows, from left to right, models TP02, TP08, a ballpoint for purposes of size comparison, TP03 and TP09. The physical model behind this method is the infinite line source with constant power per unit length.
