induced current
41Charge induced voltage alteration — (CIVA) is a technique which uses a scanning electron microscope to locate open conductors on CMOS integrated circuits. This technique is used in semiconductor failure analysis. Theory of operation The scanning of an electron beam across the… …
42Secondary current — Secondary Sec ond*a*ry, a. [Cf. F. secondaire, L. secundaire. See {Second}, a.] 1. Succeeding next in order to the first; of second place, origin, rank, etc.; not primary; subordinate; not of the first order or rate. [1913 Webster] Wheresoever… …
43Transcranial direct current stimulation — (tDCS) is the application of weak electrical currents (1 2 mA) to modulate the activity of neurons in the brain. Several generations of neurophysiological experiments have shown that neurons respond to static (DC) electrical fields by altering… …
44Spectral Induced Polarisation — (SIP) is an extension of Induced Polarisation (IP), being itself an extension of DC geoelectric. SIP measures the frequency dependent (i.e. spectral) complex impedance, equivalent to the amount of resistance and phase shift between electrical… …
45Radiation induced cognitive decline — Radiation Induced Cognitive DeclineRadiation therapy is used mainly in the treatment of cancer. Usually it is recommended to apply radiation to cancerous tumors in areas that are difficult for chemotherapy to reach. Thus radiation therapy has… …
46Eddy current — Ed dy cur rent (Elec.) An induced electric current circulating wholly within a mass of metal; called also {Foucault current}. [Webster 1913 Suppl.] …
47Foucault current — Eddy current Ed dy cur rent (Elec.) An induced electric current circulating wholly within a mass of metal; called also {Foucault current}. [Webster 1913 Suppl.] …
48eddy current — noun An induced electric current formed within the body of a conductor when it is exposed to a time varying magnetic field; utilized in induction heating and in some braking and damping systems. Syn: Foucault current …
49electrotonic current — a current induced in the sheath of a nerve by a current passing through the conducting part of that nerve, or by an action potential in an adjacent nerve …
50eddy current inspection — A nondestructive testing technique (NDT) that interrogates a component for surface inconsistencies and conditions such as hardness, conductivity, etc. It can only be applied to conductive materials. Eddy current testing generates small… …
