  2. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

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

    Electrode cells with a flexible design, where the distance between two oppositely arranged electrodes can be varied, offer high accuracy and can also be used for the measurement of highly conductive media. [8] Inductive sensors are suitable for harsh chemical conditions but require larger sample volumes than electrode sensors. [9]

    For example, if A = 1 m 2, = 1 m (forming a cube with perfectly conductive contacts on opposite faces), then the resistance of this element in ohms is numerically equal to the resistivity of the material it is made of in Ω⋅m. Conductivity, σ, is the inverse of resistivity:

    By definition, it is the amount of energy gained by the charge of a single electron moved across an electric potential difference of one volt. electronegativity A chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself. electronics

  5. Electrical conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conductor

    In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge (electric current) in one or more directions.Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors.

  6. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus

    A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.

  9. Opposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite

    An antonym is one of a pair of words with opposite meanings. Each word in the pair is the antithesis of the other. A word may have more than one antonym. There are three categories of antonyms identified by the nature of the relationship between the opposed meanings.
