Assessors in Rhode Island are charged not only with placing a valuation upon real and personal property, but they also have the responsibility to raise by a tax `` a sum not less than nor more than '' a specified amount as ordered by a city council or financial town meeting.

While costs on this order are sometimes separately charged for in residential and commercial rates, in the form of a mere `` service charge '', they are more frequently wholly or partly covered by a minimum charge which entitles the consumer to a very small amount of gas or electricity with no further payment.

A positively charged ion is produced when an electron bonded to an atom ( or molecule ) absorbs the proper amount of energy to escape from the electric potential barrier that originally confined it, thus breaking the bond and freeing it to move.

But when the electron has been moved, the capacitor has become ( slightly ) charged, so this does take a slight amount of energy.

The best way to describe such a process is that a flux of so many gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet and heat photons struck matter in a brief amount of time ( photons of high energy and great numbers of them, some overlapping in the same physical space ) that all such matter molecules lost their atomic bonds and " flew apart ", all atoms lost their bonds to each other and " flew apart ", and all nuclei lost their electron shells and became positively charged ions, and each molecule and atom that followed this process in turn emitted photons of a slightly lower energy than they had absorbed which caused the bonds to break.

Because any amount of money on a valid permit to travel will ensure that a passenger cannot be charged a penalty fare, it is entirely possible ( if the passenger is not encountered by an inspector, who will sell a full ticket ) to make a two hour train journey for as little five pence ( the lowest denomination coin the machine will accept ) without breaching any fare regulations.
