Candela: The basic SI unit of luminous intensity stated as the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source which emits monochromatic photons of frequency 540 x 1012 Hz and encompasses a radiant intensity in the direction of 1/683 W/
Thomson experiment: Kelvin effect (Sir W. Thomson [later Lord Kelvin]): Whenever an electric current flows via a conductor whose ends are maintained at various temperatures, heat is discharged at a rate just about proportional to the
Dielectric is a material in which energy can be accumulated. Ideally, it is a non-conductor of electric charge like insulators, but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields. The
What is Archimedes' principle? A body which is submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equivalent in magnitude to the weight of the fluid which is displaced, and directed upward all along a line via the c
