electrostatic line of force
1Line of force — A line of force in Faraday s extended sense is synonymous with Maxwell s line of induction. [ 1907 Encyclopedia Britannica, [http://books.google.com/books?id=PAgEAAAAYAAJ pg=PA64 dq=%22Line+of+force%22 as brr=3 page 64] ] According to J.J.… …
2Electrostatic deflection — refers to a technique for modifying the path of a stream of charged particles by the use of an electric field applied transverse to the path of the particles.The Lorentz force acts on any charged particle in an electromagnetic field.… …
3Force — For other uses, see Force (disambiguation). See also: Forcing (disambiguation) Forces are also described as a push or pull on an object. They can be due to phenomena such as gravity, magnetism, or anything that might cause a mass to accelerate …
4Electrostatic loudspeaker — An electrostatic loudspeaker is a loudspeaker design in which sound is generated by the force exerted on a membrane suspended in an electrostatic field.Design and functionalityThe speakers use a thin flat diaphragm usually consisting of a plastic …
5Electrostatic precipitator — An electrostatic precipitator (ESP), or electrostatic air cleaner is a particulate collection device that removes particles from a flowing gas (such as air) using the force of an induced electrostatic charge. Electrostatic precipitators are… …
6Magnetic force microscope — MFM images of 3.2 GB and 30 GB computer hard drive surfaces. Magnetic force microscope (MFM) is a variety of atomic force microscope, where a sharp magnetized tip scans a magnetic sample; the tip sample magnetic interactions are detected and used …
