The Taming of the Electron: A Story of Electric Charge and Discharge for Lighting and Electronics (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Benjamin Franklin recognized the attraction between objects given excess charge and objects made deficient in charge. Particle physicists attribute force of attraction to photons having particle and wave properties as do electrons. This force can produce damaging electric breakdown over a scale ranging from the atmosphere to electronic circuits and can produce light for illumination or display.
