  2. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    These induced surface charges create an opposing electric field that exactly cancels the field of the external charge throughout the interior of the metal. Therefore electrostatic induction ensures that the electric field everywhere inside a conductive object is zero. A remaining question is how large the induced charges are.

  3. Inductive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_effect

    As the induced change in polarity is less than the original polarity, the inductive effect rapidly dies out and is significant only over a short distance. Moreover, the inductive effect is permanent but feeble since it involves the shift of strongly held σ-bond electrons and other stronger factors may overshadow this effect.

  4. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The direction of an induced current can be determined using the right-hand rule to show which direction of current flow would create a magnetic field that would oppose the direction of changing flux through the loop. [8] In the examples above, if the flux is increasing, the induced field acts in opposition to it.

  5. Aggregation-induced emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregation-induced_emission

    That is, these luminophores are said to exhibit crystallization-induced emission enhancement (CIEE). [5] [6] Luminophores such as noble metallic nanoclusters show higher photoluminescence efficiency in the aggregated state than homogenous dispersion in solution. This phenomenon is known as Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE). [7] [8]

  6. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conduction

    An example of a new source of heat "turning on" within an object, causing transient conduction, is an engine starting in an automobile. In this case, the transient thermal conduction phase for the entire machine is over, and the steady-state phase appears, as soon as the engine reaches steady-state operating temperature .

  7. Thermochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemistry

    Thermochemistry is the study of the heat energy which is associated with chemical reactions and/or phase changes such as melting and boiling. A reaction may release or absorb energy, and a phase change may do the same. Thermochemistry focuses on the energy exchange between a system and its surroundings in the form of heat. Thermochemistry is ...

  8. Nernst heat theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_heat_theorem

    Since the slope shown here reaches the horizontal limit of 0 as T → 0 then the implication is that ΔS → 0, which is the Nernst heat theorem. The significance of the Nernst heat theorem is that it was later used by Max Planck to give the third law of thermodynamics , which is that the entropy of all pure, perfectly crystalline homogeneous ...

  9. Photoredox catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoredox_catalysis

    The normal electronic demand for the Diels–Alder reaction calls for an electron-rich diene to react with an electron-poor olefin (or "dienophile"), while the inverse electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction takes place between the opposite case of an electron-poor diene and a very electron-rich dienophile. The photoredox case, since it takes ...
