  2. Floating charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_charge

    In finance, a floating charge is a security interest over a fund of changing assets of a company or other legal person.Unlike a fixed charge, which is created over ascertained and definite property, a floating charge is created over property of an ambulatory and shifting nature, such as receivables and stock.

  3. Float voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_voltage

    Float voltage is the voltage at which a battery is maintained after being fully charged to maintain that capacity by compensating for self-discharge of the battery. [1] The voltage could be held constant for the entire duration of the cell's operation (such as in an automotive battery ) or could be held for a particular phase of charging by the ...

  4. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    where = is the distance of each charge from the test charge, which situated at the point , and () is the electric potential that would be at if the test charge were not present. If only two charges are present, the potential energy is Q 1 Q 2 / ( 4 π ε 0 r ) {\displaystyle Q_{1}Q_{2}/(4\pi \varepsilon _{0}r)} .

  5. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor. [1] A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and/or slide against each other and then separate.

  6. Security interest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_interest

    Floating charges are similar in effect to fixed equitable charges once they crystallise (usually upon the commencement of liquidation proceedings against the chargor), but prior to that they "float" and do not attach to any of the chargor's assets, and the chargor remains free to deal with or dispose of them.

  7. Charge (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_(physics)

    This charge is sometimes called the Noether charge. Thus, for example, the electric charge is the generator of the U(1) symmetry of electromagnetism. The conserved current is the electric current. In the case of local, dynamical symmetries, associated with every charge is a gauge field; when quantized, the gauge field becomes a gauge boson. The ...

  8. Water thread experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_thread_experiment

    The water thread experiment is a phenomenon that occurs when two containers of deionized water, placed on an insulator, are connected by a thread, then a high-voltage positive electric charge is applied to one container, and a negative charge to the other. At a critical voltage, an unsupported water liquid bridge is formed between the ...

  9. Floating ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_ground

    An example showing mains-powered electronic instruments with a floating ground. (Demonstrates three of the typical reasons for a floating ground.) Fourthly, a floating ground can help eliminate ground loops, [3] which reduces the noise coupled to the system. The image on the right shows an example of such a configuration.
