Definitions
|
Electrostatics : The branch of physics which deals with charges at rest is called electrostatics.
|
|
| Electrical
Energy : The loss of electrical potential energy in maintaining
current in a circuit is called electrical energy consumed
in the circuit, |
|
| Electric Dipole
: A system of two equal and opposite point charges separated
by a small distance is called an electric dipole. |
|
| Electrostatic Shielding
: The phenomenon of protecting a certain region of space from external electric field is called electrostatic shielding |
|
| Electrical
Energy : The loss of electrical potential energy in
maintain
current in a circuit is called electrical energy consumed
in the circuit. |
|
| Electrolyte
: A liquid which conducts electric current due to the
drifting of ions is called an electrolyte. |
|
| Electrolysis
: The conduction of electric current through an electrolyte
together with the resulting chemical changes is called electrolysis. |
|
| Electroplating
: The process of depositing a thin layer of superior metal
(gold, sliver, nickel, etc) over an inferior metal (e.g. iron)
is known as electroplating. |
|
| Excitation
Energy : The minimum energy required to excite an atom
in the ground state to one of the higher station states is
called excitation energy. |
|
| Explosive
Chain Reaction : A nuclear chain reaction in which fission
neurons keep on increasing till the whole of the fissionable
material is consumed (or disintegrated) is known as explosive
chain reaction. |
|
| Energy Band : The range of energies possessed by an electron in a solid is called energy band. |
