Electric charges, indicating

Since e > eo, we seek to explain the smaller field in the presence of the dielectric in terms of molecular properties and the way in which they are affected by the electric field. An easy way to visualize the effect is to picture an opposing surface charge-indicated as in Fig. 10.4b—accumulating on the dielectric. This partially offsets the charge on the capacitor plates to a net charge density a - so that Eq becomes E and is given by... 

Coliform bacteria Non-pathogenic microbes found in fecal matter that indicate the presence of water pollution are thereby a guide to the suitability for potable use. Colloids Very small, finely divided solids (particles that do not dissolve) that remain dispersed in a liquid for a long time due to their small size and electrical charge. 

Fig. 5.7. The electrical charge observed at various peak stresses is shown for PVDF. The indicated behavior is nonlinear, but reproducible and independent of loading path.

Dispersion force. Temporary dipoles in adjacent molecules line up to create an electrical attraction force known as the dispersion force. Deeply shaded areas indicate regions where the electron cloud is momentarily concentrated and creates partial charges, indicated by (+) and (-). 

Chemists also need to know the distribution of electric charge in a molecule, because that distribution affects its physical and chemical properties. To do so, they sometimes use an electrostatic potential surface (an elpot surface), in which the net electric potential is calculated at each point of the density isosurface and depicted by different colors, as in Fig. C.2f. A blue tint at a point indicates that the positive potential at that point due to the positively charged nuclei outweighs the negative potential due to the negatively charged electrons a red tint indicates the opposite. 

The number of electric charges possessed by an ion (corresponding to its valency) is indicated by writing as a superscript one or more positive or negative signs after the chemical symbol for the element or the radical concerned according as to whether the ion is positive or negative in character. Thus, Na+ depicts the univalent sodium ion, Cl the univalent chloride ion, SO4- the divalent sulfate ion, and Cu2+ the divalent cupric ion. 

Table 1. Predictive scheme of protein adsorption. The + and - indicate the electrical charge sign on the sorbent surface and the protein molecule. Conditions at which adsorption is predicted is marked yes and predictions of absence of adsorption is marked no . Further explanation is given in the text...

Table 1.1 Conjugate pairs of variables in work terms for the fundamental equation for the internal energy U. Here/is force of elongation, Z is length in the direction of the force, <7 is surface tension, As is surface area, , is the electric potential of the phase containing species i, qi is the contribution of species i to the electric charge of a phase, E is electric field strength, p is the electric dipole moment of the system, B is magnetic field strength (magnetic flux density), and m is the magnetic moment of the system. The dots indicate scalar products of vectors.

Figure 2. Phase diagram in the /u — (iq plane for T = /U3 = /us = 0. The various phases separated by the solid lines are characterized by different non-vanishing diquark gaps Ai as indicated in the figure. In the non-superconducting phase quarks are present only above the dashed line. The + and signs indicate the sign of the electric charge density in the corresponding region. The dotted line corresponds to electrically neutral matter in the CFL phase.

This expression is the general Wagner factor which includes the influence of all the motion of the other species on the motion of species i by the effect of the internal electric fields. W may be larger than 1 which indicates an enhancement of the motion by the simultaneous motions of other species, or W may be smaller than 1 which means that the species are slowed down because of the immobility of other species which are therefore unable to compensate for the electrical charges. The first situation is desirable for electrodes whereas the second one is required for electrolytes in which mobile species should not move except when electrons are provided through the external circuit. Since the transference numbers in Eqn (8.27) include the partial and total conductivities (tj = OjlYjk or the products of the diffusivities (or mobilities) and the concentrations, Eqn (8.27) shows that W depends both on kinetic...
