An introduction to Coulomb’s Law and electric fields explained in a clear and simple way. Learn how electric charges interact, how force depends on distance, and how electric fields describe these ...

This alternating electric field produces what are called dielectrophoretic forces, which are essentially a non-uniform electric field creating a traveling wave that pushes dust across the surface. By ...

High-speed imaging of charged droplet dynamics reveals a critical transition in the role of non-uniform AC electric fields on ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

Detailed measurements collected in metropolitan Tel Aviv, Israel, have revealed how the ebb and flow of traffic throughout the week affects the electric field generated by Earth's atmosphere. Led by ...

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric fields ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known ...
