  3. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    For the parallel-plate capacitor we have =, where is the applied voltage. As a single ionization was assumed Q {\displaystyle Q} is the elementary charge e {\displaystyle e} . We can now put ( 13 ) and ( 8 ) into ( 12 ) and get

  4. Charge transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_transfer_coefficient

    Charge transfer coefficient, and symmetry factor (symbols α and β, respectively) are two related parameters used in description of the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. They appear in the Butler–Volmer equation and related expressions.

  5. Oil drop experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_drop_experiment

    The oil drop experiment was performed by Robert A. Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in 1909 to measure the elementary electric charge (the charge of the electron). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The experiment took place in the Ryerson Physical Laboratory at the University of Chicago .

  6. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    The relative static permittivity, ε r, can be measured for static electric fields as follows: first the capacitance of a test capacitor, C 0, is measured with vacuum between its plates. Then, using the same capacitor and distance between its plates, the capacitance C with a dielectric between the plates is measured. The relative permittivity ...

  7. Double-layer capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-layer_capacitance

    Because an electrochemical capacitor is composed out of two electrodes, electric charge in the Helmholtz layer at one electrode is mirrored (with opposite polarity) in the second Helmholtz layer at the second electrode. Therefore, the total capacitance value of a double-layer capacitor is the result of two capacitors connected in series.

  8. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    Charge carrier density, also known as carrier concentration, denotes the number of charge carriers per volume. In SI units, it is measured in m −3. As with any density, in principle it can depend on position. However, usually carrier concentration is given as a single number, and represents the average carrier density over the whole material.

  9. Mass-to-charge ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio

    When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.
