Dielectric Materials and Electrostatics (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An introduction to the physics of electrical insulation, this book presents the physical foundations of this discipline and the resulting applications. It is structured in two parts. The first part presents a mathematical and intuitive approach to dielectrics; various concepts, including polarization, induction, forces and losses are discussed. The second part provides readers with the keys to understanding the physics of solid, liquid and gas insulation. It comprises a phenomenological description of discharges in gas and its resulting applications. Finally, the main electrical properties of liquids and solids are presented, in order to explain the phenomena of electrical degradation, dissipation and breakdown. Contents 1. Mathematical Examination of Dielectrics2. Physical Examination of DielectricsAppendix 1. List of FiguresAppendix 2. List of SymbolsAppendix 3. List of Useful ValuesAppendix 4. Reminder about Dielectric SpectroscopyAppendix 5. Reminder about Transitory Currents
