  2. Field strength meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_strength_meter

    Field strength meter. Field strength meter is actually a simple receiver. The RF signal is detected and fed to a microammeter, which is scaled in dBμ. The frequency range of the tuner is usually within the terrestrial broadcasting bands. Some FS meters can also receive satellite (TVRO and RRO) frequencies.

  3. Electrostatic fieldmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_Fieldmeter

    An electrostatic fieldmeter, also called a static meter is a tool used in the static control industry. It is used for non-contact measurement of electrostatic charge on an object. It measures the force between the induced charges in a sensor and the charge present on the surface of an object. This force is converted to volts, measuring both the ...

  4. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    The electric field is defined as a vector field that associates to each point in space the force per unit of charge exerted on an infinitesimal test charge at rest at that point. [2] [3] [4] The SI unit for the electric field is the volt per meter (V/m), which is equal to the newton per coulomb (N/C). [5]

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law states that the emf is also given by the rate of change of the magnetic flux: where is the electromotive force (emf) and ΦB is the magnetic flux. The direction of the electromotive force is given by Lenz's law. The laws of induction of electric currents in mathematical form was established by Franz Ernst Neumann in 1845.

  6. Helmholtz coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_coil

    Helmholtz coil. A Helmholtz coil is a device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field, named after the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. It consists of two electromagnets on the same axis, carrying an equal electric current in the same direction. Besides creating magnetic fields, Helmholtz coils are also used in scientific ...

  7. Dipole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

    Dipole antenna used by the radar altimeter in an airplane. Animated diagram of a half-wave dipole antenna receiving a radio wave. The antenna consists of two metal rods connected to a receiver R. The electric field (E, green arrows) of the incoming wave pushes the electrons in the rods back and forth, charging the ends alternately positive ...

  8. Electric flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_flux

    Dimension. M L3 T−3 I−1. In electromagnetism, electric flux is the measure of the electric field through a given surface, [1] although an electric field in itself cannot flow. The electric field E can exert a force on an electric charge at any point in space. The electric field is the gradient of the potential.

  9. Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect

    t. e. The Hall effect is the production of a potential difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor that is transverse to an electric current in the conductor and to an applied magnetic field perpendicular to the current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879. [1][2]
