In simple terms altruism is caring about the welfare of other people and acting to help them.

The practical definition may lead to confusion with the definition of a coulomb ( i. e., 1 amp-second ), but in practical terms this means that measures of a constant current ( e. g., the nominal flow of charge per second through a simple circuit ) will be defined in amperes ( e. g., " a 20 mA circuit ") and the flow of charge through a circuit over a period of time will be defined in coulombs ( e. g., " a variable-current circuit that flows a total of 10 coulombs over 5 seconds ").

In simple terms, centripetal force is defined as a force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre.

' Deconstruction ' is somewhat less negative than the Heideggerian or Nietzschean terms ' destruction ' or ' reversal '; it suggests that certain foundational concepts of metaphysics will never be entirely eliminated ... There is no simple ' overcoming ' of metaphysics or the language of metaphysics.

For simple dynamical systems, knowing the trajectory is often sufficient, but most dynamical systems are too complicated to be understood in terms of individual trajectories.

Linear dynamical systems can be solved in terms of simple functions and the behavior of all orbits classified.

Plurality voting is also variously referred to as winner-takes-all or relative / simple majority voting ; however, these terms can also refer to elections for multiple winners in a particular constituency using bloc voting.

Another recent theory ( see EPR paradox above ) resulting from the analysis of an EPR communication set up, has the simple device based on removing the effective retarded time terms in the Lorentz transform to yield a preferred absolute reference frame.

Fly-by wire systems are quite complex, but their operation can be explained in simple terms.

There are, relatively speaking, no such simple solutions for factorials ; any combination of sums, products, powers, exponential functions, or logarithms with a fixed number of terms will not suffice to express n < nowiki >!</ nowiki >.

In simple terms, the variation in space of any quantity can be represented ( e. g. graphically ) by a slope.

In simple terms: Electrophoresis is a procedure which enables the sorting of molecules based on size.

Latin terminology is often used to describe modern languages, at times erroneously, as in the application of the term " pluperfect " to the English " past perfect ", the application of " perfect " to what in English more often than not is not " perfective ", or where the German simple and perfect pasts are called respectively " Imperfektum " and " Perfektum ", despite the fact that neither has any real relationship to the aspects implied by the use of the Latin terms.

In simple chemistry, as per valence bond theory, the carbon atom must follow the " 4-hydrogen rule ", which states that the maximum number of atoms available to bond with carbon is equal to the number of electrons that are attracted into the outer shell of carbon. In terms of shells, carbon consists of an incomplete outer shell, which comprises 4 electrons, and thus has 4 electrons available for covalent or dative bonding.

Af appeared to be well suited for the study of these matters, since it is a normal paramagnet, with three unpaired electrons on the chromium, its crystal structure is very simple, and the unknown position of the hydrogen in the strong Af bond provides structural interest.

Since opposite charges attract via a simple electromagnetic force, the negatively charged electrons that are orbiting the nucleus and the positively charged protons in the nucleus attract each other.

In 1964, Hückel method calculations ( using a simple linear combination of atomic orbitals ( LCAO ) method for the determination of electron energies of molecular orbitals of π electrons in conjugated hydrocarbon systems ) of molecules ranging in complexity from butadiene and benzene to ovalene, were generated on computers at Berkeley and Oxford.

A more accurate value of the limit than that given by this simple model requires adjusting for various factors, including electrostatic interactions between the electrons and nuclei and effects caused by nonzero temperature.

For a simple metal where there is only one type of charge carrier ( electrons ) the Hall voltage V < sub > H </ sub > is given by

The simple formula for the Hall coefficient given above becomes more complex in semiconductors where the carriers are generally both electrons and holes which may be present in different concentrations and have different mobilities.

First, further scientific advancements revealed the existence of smaller particles, such as electrons and quarks, whose masses are not related through simple fractions.

He found an essential clue in a 1924 paper by Edmund C. Stoner which pointed out that for a given value of the principal quantum number ( n ), the number of energy levels of a single electron in the alkali metal spectra in an external magnetic field, where all degenerate energy levels are separated, is equal to the number of electrons in the closed shell of the noble gases for the same value of n. This led Pauli to realize that the complicated numbers of electrons in closed shells can be reduced to the simple rule of one per state, if the electron states are defined using four quantum numbers.

Quantum tunneling is vital to the operation of many devices-even in the simple light switch, as otherwise the electrons in the electric current could not penetrate the potential barrier made up of a layer of oxide.

The JNT uses a simple nanowire of silicon surrounded by an electrically isolated " wedding ring " that acts to gate the flow of electrons through the wire.

Within the range of gamma ray deposition, simple laws no longer hold as the air is ionised and there are other EMP effects, such as a radial electric field due to the separation of Compton electrons from air molecules, together with other complex phenomena.

With only three valence electrons, simple covalent bonding will be electron deficient with respect to the octet rule.

On the face of it a simple explanation could be that the valence electrons in an s orbital are more tightly bound are of higher energy than electrons in p orbitals and therefore less likely to be involved in bonding.
