  2. Flame test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test

    The flame test carried out on a copper halide. The characteristic bluish-green color of the flame is due to the copper. A flame test is relatively quick test for the presence of some elements in a sample. The technique is archaic and of questionable reliability, but once was a component of qualitative inorganic analysis.

  3. Propagation delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_delay

    Increases in output load capacitance, often from placing increased fan-out loads on a wire, will also increase propagation delay. All of these factors influence each other through an RC time constant : any increase in load capacitance increases C, heat-induced resistance the R factor, and supply threshold voltage increases will affect whether ...

  4. Velocity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_factor

    The velocity factor (VF), [1] also called wave propagation (relative) speed or (relative) velocity of propagation (VoP or ), [2] of a transmission medium is the ratio of the speed at which a wavefront (of an electromagnetic signal, a radio signal, a light pulse in an optical fibre or a change of the electrical voltage on a copper wire) passes through the medium, to the speed of light in vacuum.

  5. Explosively pumped flux compression generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux...

    The aluminum tube is detonated at the end extending out and beyond the copper-wire helix. On the other end a transformer enables the generator to work more efficiently into the electrical load. An explosively pumped flux compression generator ( EPFCG ) is a device used to generate a high-power electromagnetic pulse by compressing magnetic flux ...

  6. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    A microwave oven uses a partial Faraday shield (on five of its interior six sides) and a partial Faraday cage, consisting of a wire mesh, on the sixth side (the transparent window), to contain the electromagnetic energy within the oven and to protect the user from exposure to microwave radiation. [8]

  7. Speed of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity

    The drift velocity in a 2 mm diameter copper wire in 1 ampere current is approximately 8 cm per hour. AC voltages cause no net movement. The electrons oscillate back and forth in response to the alternating electric field, over a distance of a few micrometers – see example calculation.

  8. Apex beat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apex_beat

    A pulse deficit between the PMI and periphery may occur in some arrhythmias, such as premature ventricular contraction or atrial fibrillation. Sustained apex beat, namely prolonged upward cardiac force during systole in a physical exam, can be seen in some chronic conditions such as hypertension and aortic stenosis, especially in elderly and ...
