How To Use potential drop In A Sentence
- The gate particle has the larger positive valence and traverses a greater fraction of the membrane potential drop; thus it contributes the majority of the gating charge displacement.
- Strong electric fields exist inside the separatrix regions and the electric potential drop across the regions can be up to several kV. Do "Skeleton" Filaments Give Structure to the Universe? | Universe Today
- Indeed, electrical currents could lead to a potential drop and to heating and catalysis of undesirable electrochemical reactions.
- The second law states that the sum of electromotive forces in a loop in the network equals the sum of potential drops, or voltages across each of the resistances, in the loop.
- Yet another potential drop-in fuel is butanol, which is an alcohol like ethanol but without the same drawbacks. Battle brewing over biofuels' future
- It can be concluded that the ohmic potential drop is an important factor which has the influence over the pit growth kinetics.
- Add to that a potential drop in Japanese consumption, said Brendan Brown, head of economic research at Mitsubishi UFJ. Consumers will be "under influence of squeezed incomes and trauma," he said.
