Equipotential lines are curved lines on a map which mark out lines of identicalaltitude. The altitude pertains to electric potential or voltage. Equipotential lines are curved lines on a map which ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

The concept of the electric field being null inside of a closed conducting surface was first illustrated by Michael Faraday in 19th century who also considered as a physicist who endorsed the field ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...
