- Company Profile:
The flow of electrical energy (electricity) in a conductor, measured in amperes.
Industry:Energy
A nonmetallic (liquid or solid) conductor that carries current by the movement of ions (instead of electrons) with the liberation of matter at the electrodes of an electrochemical cell.
Industry:Energy
An elementary particle of an atom with a negative electrical charge and a mass of 1/1837 of a proton; electrons surround the positively charged nucleus of an atom and determine the chemical properties of an atom. The movement of electrons in an electrical conductor constitutes an electric current.
Industry:Energy
The number of repetitions per unit time of a complete waveform, expressed in Hertz (Hz).
Industry:Energy
A unit of electrical force equal to that amount of electromotive force that will cause a steady current of one ampere to flow through a resistance of one ohm.
Industry:Energy
The amount of electromotive force, measured in volts, that exists between two points.
Industry:Energy
The rate of energy transfer equivalent to one ampere under an electrical pressure of one volt. One watt equals 1/746 horsepower, or one joule per second. It is the product of voltage and current (amperage).
Industry:Energy
A unit of power equal to 1 billion Watts; 1 million kilowatts, or 1,000 megawatts.
Industry:Energy
An electrically charged atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained electrons; a loss makes the resulting particle positively charged; a gain makes the particle negatively charged.
Industry:Energy
A metric unit of energy or work; 1 joule per second equals 1 watt or 0.737 foot-pounds; 1 Btu equals 1,055 joules.
