  2. Bragg peak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg_peak

    The Bragg curve of 5.49 MeV alphas in air has its peak to the right and is skewed to the left, unlike the x-ray beam below.. The Bragg peak is a pronounced peak on the Bragg curve which plots the energy loss of ionizing radiation during its travel through matter.

  3. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electromagnetism...

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  4. Load factor (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(electrical)

    In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...

  5. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(electronics)

    The load line diagram at right is for a resistive load in a common emitter circuit. The load line shows how the collector load resistor (R L) constrains the circuit voltage and current. The diagram also plots the transistor's collector current I C versus collector voltage V CE for different values of base current I base.

  6. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...

  7. Orders of magnitude (power) - Wikipedia

    tech: peak power consumption of a Pentium 4 CPU 2 × 10 2: tech: stationary bicycle average power output [17] [18] 2.76 × 10 2: astro: fusion power output of 1 cubic meter of volume of the Sun's core. [19] 2.9 × 10 2: units: approximately 1000 BTU/hour 3 × 10 2: tech: PC GPU Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 peak power consumption [20] 4 × 10 2

  8. Load-loss factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-loss_factor

    The LLF value naturally depends on the load profile. For electricity utilities , numbers about 0.2-0.3 are typical (cf. 0.22 for Toronto Hydro , [ 3 ] 0.33 for New Zealand [ 4 ] ). Multiple empirical formulae exist that relate the loss factor to the load factor (Dickert et al. in 2009 listed nine [ 5 ] ).

  9. Drude model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drude_model

    Drude formula is derived in a limited way, namely by assuming that the charge carriers form a classical ideal gas. When quantum theory is considered, the Drude model can be extended to the free electron model, where the carriers follow Fermi–Dirac distribution. The conductivity predicted is the same as in the Drude model because it does not ...
