  2. Electrostatic discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge

    Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a sudden and momentary flow of electric current between two differently-charged objects when brought close together or when the dielectric between them breaks down, often creating a visible spark associated with the static electricity between the objects.

  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.

    Further, because surfaces have a maximal charge density, an area of at least 100 cm 2 has to be involved. This is not considered to be a hazard for dust clouds. Propagating brush discharge is high in energy and dangerous. Occurs when an insulating surface of up to 8 mm thick (e.g. a teflon or glass lining of a grounded metal pipe or a reactor ...

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

    The standard describes the output RC-network of the generator as having typical values of 330 Ω and 150 pF. The specified transient rise time (from 10% to 90% of the first peak) is 0.8 ns (±25%). The specified transient rise time (from 10% to 90% of the first peak) is 0.8 ns (±25%).

  8. Electric discharge in gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_discharge_in_gases

    In cold cathode tubes, the electric discharge in gas has three regions, with distinct current–voltage characteristics: [1] I: Townsend discharge, below the breakdown voltage. At low voltages, the only current is that due to the generation of charge carriers in the gas by cosmic rays or other sources of ionizing radiation.

  9. Charged current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charged_current

    Because exchange of W bosons involves a transfer of electric charge (as well as a transfer of weak isospin, while weak hypercharge is not transferred), it is known as "charged current". By contrast, exchanges of Z bosons involve no transfer of electrical charge, so it is referred to as a "neutral current". In the latter case, the word "current ...
