  2. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

    Examples of intensive properties include temperature, T; refractive index, n; density, ρ; and hardness, η. By contrast, an extensive property or extensive quantity is one whose magnitude is additive for subsystems. [4] Examples include mass, volume and Gibbs energy. [5] Not all properties of matter fall into these two categories.

    This category pertains to the measurable electrical values or phenomena that characterize the behaviour of electronic circuits, components, or semiconductors Wikimedia Commons has media related to Electrical parameters .

  4. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    [1] [2] [3] For example, if a 1 m 3 solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Ω, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Ω⋅m. Electrical conductivity (or specific conductance) is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. It represents a material's ability to conduct ...

  5. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    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 ...

  6. Electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_measurements

    Measurement of electrical quantities may be done to measure electrical parameters of a system. Using transducers , physical properties such as temperature, pressure, flow, force, and many others can be converted into electrical signals, which can then be conveniently measured and recorded.

  7. Electrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

    For example, gaseous oxygen (O 2) and hydrogen (H 2) can be combined in a fuel cell to form water and energy, typically a combination of heat and electrical energy. [ 25 ] Conversely, non-spontaneous electrochemical reactions can be driven forward by the application of a current at sufficient voltage .

  8. Impedance parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_parameters

    A Z-parameter matrix describes the behaviour of any linear electrical network that can be regarded as a black box with a number of ports. A port in this context is a pair of electrical terminals carrying equal and opposite currents into and out-of the network, and having a particular voltage between them.

  9. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    There are, however, components of electrical circuits which do not obey Ohm's law; that is, their relationship between current and voltage (their I–V curve) is nonlinear (or non-ohmic). An example is the p–n junction diode (curve at right). As seen in the figure, the current does not increase linearly with applied voltage for a diode.
