Global Electric Circuit and Lower Atmospheric Electricity

This short report describes some recent results of global electric circuit investigations. The experimental foundation of global electric circuit conception is discussed. The main origins of global electric circuit formation are examined. The electrodynamical properties of fair-weather electricity are characterized with standpoint of universal spectra and aeroelectrical structure availability. ...

The Electric Illumination of the Bladder and Urethra

Playing with Electricity: Exploring electric circuits through open ended play

Both children and adults typically have misconceptions about how basic electric circuits work (Grotzer et al. 2006). These can be so ingrained that in one study the majority of college students enrolled in a physics class were unable to light a bulb using battery and three wires (Fredette and Lochhead, 1980). In this project we aimed to introduce a basic understanding of simple electric circuit...

Electric field induced fluid flow on microelectrodes: the effect of illumination

The electrokinetic manipulation of particles suspended in a fluid medium is accomplished using microelectrodes that generate non-uniform fields of significant strength from low applied potentials. The high strength fields produce not only forces on the particles but also on the fluid medium used for suspension. This paper presents qualitative and semi-quantitative observations of the movement o...

The Dark Adaptation of the Eye of Limulus, as Manifested by Its Electric Response to Illumination

1. The phenomenon of dark adaptation of the eye of Limulus is reflected in the behavior of the action potentials obtained upon stimulation by light. The method of obtaining and recording these action potentials has been described in an earlier paper. 2. By determining the intensity of stimulus necessary to produce an electric response of a given magnitude (as to maximum action potential), at va...
