  2. Polarity (mutual inductance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(mutual_inductance)

    Pole mounted distribution transformers are manufactured with additive polarity, while instrument transformers are made with subtractive polarity. Where markings have been obscured or are suspect, a test can be made by interconnecting the windings and exciting the transformer, and measuring the voltages. [4]

  3. Electrical safety testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_testing

    An insulation resistance test (IR test) measures the electrical resistance of insulation by applying a voltage between two locations, and measuring the resultant current flow. Proper safety precautions must be taken when doing this test, such as exclusion zones, making sure no wires are exposed, and personal protective equipment is worn.

  4. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  5. Odor detection threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odor_detection_threshold

    The odor detection threshold is the lowest concentration of a certain odor compound that is perceivable by the human sense of smell.The threshold of a chemical compound is determined in part by its shape, polarity, partial charges, and molecular mass.

  6. Magnetic particle inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_particle_inspection

    Because the current alternates in polarity at 50 to 60 cycles per second it does not penetrate much past the surface of the test object. This means the magnetic domains will only be aligned equal to the distance AC current penetration into the part. The frequency of the alternating current determines how deep the penetration.

  7. Hansen solubility parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansen_solubility_parameter

    Artificial noses (where response depends on polymer solubility of the test odor) [5] Safer, cheaper, and faster solvent blends where an undesirable solvent can be rationally replaced by a mix of more desirable solvents whose combined HSP equals the HSP of the original solvent.

  8. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Polarizability is responsible for a material's dielectric constant and, at high (optical) frequencies, its refractive index. The polarizability of an atom or molecule is defined as the ratio of its induced dipole moment to the local electric field; in a crystalline solid, one considers the dipole moment per unit cell. [1]

  9. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter

    A calibration first consists of a preliminary test in which the fundamental calibration capability is checked. The quartz control plates must meet the required minimum requirements with respect to their dimensions, optical pureness, flatness, parallelism of the faces and optical axis errors.
