  2. Electric potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential

    Electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential) is defined as the amount of work/energy needed per unit of electric charge to move the charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field. More precisely, the electric potential is the energy per unit charge for a test ...

  3. Green building and wood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_building_and_wood

    The study supports wood's value as a tool in evidence-based design (EBD) – a growing field that seeks to promote health and other positive outcomes such as increased productivity and well-being based on scientifically credible evidence. So far, EBD has focused largely on healthcare and, in particular, patient recovery.

  4. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    The electric field sends the electron to the p-type material, and the hole to the n-type material. If an external current path is provided, electrical energy will be available to do work. The electron flow provides the current, and the cell's electric field creates the voltage. With both current and voltage the silicon cell has power.

  5. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    If there is a potential difference between two materials due to the difference in their work functions (contact potential), this can be thought of as equivalent to the potential difference across a capacitor. The charge to compensate this is that which cancels the electric field.

  6. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The electric potential energy stored in a capacitor is U E = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ CV 2. Some elements in a circuit can convert energy from one form to another. For example, a resistor converts electrical energy to heat. This is known as the Joule effect. A capacitor stores it in its electric field.

  7. Olive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive

    Olive wood is very hard and tough and is prized for its durability, colour, high combustion temperature, and interesting grain patterns. Because of the commercial importance of the fruit, slow growth, and relatively small size of the tree, olive wood and its products are relatively expensive.

  8. Sustainable yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_yield

    Sustainable yield is the amount of a resource that humans can harvest without over-harvesting or damaging a potentially renewable resource. [1]In more formal terms, the sustainable yield of natural capital is the ecological yield that can be extracted without reducing the base of capital itself, i.e. the surplus required to maintain ecosystem services at the same or increasing level over time. [2]

  9. Wood science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_science

    Wood science [1] is the scientific field which predominantly studies and investigates elements associated with the formation, the physical and chemical composition, and the macro- and microstructure of wood as a bio-based and lignocellulosic material.
