When hand-soldering with non-eutectic solder in electrical work, if the joint is disturbed in the pasty state before it has solidified totally, a poor electrical connection may result ; use of eutectic solder reduces this problem.

When electrification came, Americans began to speak of trolleycars or later, trolleys, believed to derive from the troller, a four-wheeled device that was dragged along dual overhead wires by a cable that connected the troller to the top of the car and collected electrical power from the overhead wires, sometimes simply strung, sometimes on a catenary.

When the electrical circuit, consisting of a Daniell cell, a galvanometer of high resistance, and the metallic conductor, consisting of the ebonite plate, and the sheet of copper, or of the tube containing the filings, was completed, only a very small current flowed ; but there was a sudden diminution of the resistance, which was proved by a large deviation of the galvanometer needle when one or more electric discharges were produced in the neighbourhood of the circuit.

When the key is closed, and the apparatus in operation, there are trains of intermittent electrical oscillations set up in the circuit, and if the terminals of the secondary circuit of the oscillation transformer are near together, there is high potential high frequency oscillatory sparks passing between them.

When ΔV < sub > cell </ sub > is positive, then positive electrical charge flows through the cell from the left electrode ( anode ) to the right electrode ( cathode ).

When electrical energy is required to be transmitted over very long distances, it is more economical to transmit using direct current instead of alternating current.

When two traces run parallel, an electrical signal in one can be coupled into the other through electromagnetic induction by magnetic field lines from one linking the other ; this is called crosstalk.

When an antenna and feedline do not have matching impedances, some of the electrical energy cannot be transferred from the feedline to the antenna.

He does not explicitly acknowledge any anticipation of his demonstration of electrostatic repulsion by the latter but, as he quotes a passage from the same page, could not have been unaware that, in a discussion of the nature of electrical attraction, Cabeo had written ( Philosophia Magnetica p. 192 ): " When we see that small bodies ( corpuscula ) are lifted ( sublevari et attolli ) above the amber and also fall back to the motionless amber, it cannot be said that such erratic behaviour ( talem matum-but if " matum " is taken as a misprint for " motum ", then the translation is simply " such motion ") is an attraction by the gravity of the attracting body.

When the myelin is lost, a neuron can no longer effectively conduct electrical signals.

When light is absorbed by a material such as a semiconductor, the number of free electrons and electron holes changes and raises its electrical conductivity.

When a bias voltage and a load resistor are used in series with the semiconductor, a voltage drop across the load resistors can be measured when the change in electrical conductivity of the material varies the current flowing through the circuit.

When the local electric field exceeds the dielectric strength of damp air ( about 3 million Volts / m ), electrical discharge results, often followed by more discharges along the same path.

When the detective left, Andrus phoned his secretary to cancel his work and to advise the network to get a substitute director for his current project.

When making use of modern cultural divisions in the American Southwest, it is important to comprehend that current terms and conventions have significant limitations:

When the press expanded to current titles, they wrote some books themselves and employed other writers, including Erasmus.

When a positive voltage is applied to anode of the diode from the circuit, more holes are able to be transferred to the depleted region, and this causes the diode to become conductive, allowing current to flow through the circuit.

When the current through the device is reversed, the electrodes switch functions, so anode becomes cathode, while cathode becomes anode, as long as the reversed current is applied, with the exception of diodes where electrode naming is always based on the forward current direction.

When the cube is centered, the player about to roll may propose that the game be played for twice the current stakes.

When South America became attached to North America creating the Isthmus of Panama, the Arctic region cooled due to the strengthening of the Humboldt and Gulf Stream currents, eventually leading to the glaciations of the Pleistocene ice age, the current interglacial of which is the Holocene Epoch.

When the traversal encounters an atom through which the current path has already passed, a ghost atom is generated in order to keep the tree finite.

When a metal wire is subjected to electric force applied on its opposite ends, these free electrons rush in the direction of the force, thus forming what we call an electric current.

When the amount of RAM is not sufficient to run all the current programs, it can result in a situation where the computer spends more time moving memory from RAM to disk and back than it does accomplishing tasks ; this is known as thrashing.

When the current bridge was planned in the 1970s, Caltrans conducted extensive environmental research on the aquatic and terrestrial environment.

When any wire ( or other conducting object such as an antenna ) conducts alternating current, electromagnetic radiation is propagated at the same frequency as the electric current.

When EM radiation at the frequences for which it is referred to as " radio waves " impinges upon a conductor, it couples to the conductor, travels along it, and induces an electric current on the surface of the conductor by moving the electrons of the conducting material in correlated bunches of charge.

When the current changes, the magnetic field does too, inducing a voltage between the ends of the conductor.

When faced with a new circuit, the software first tries to find a steady state solution, that is, one where all nodes conform to Kirchhoff's Current Law and the voltages across and through each element of the circuit conform to the voltage / current equations governing that element.

When the electric current is applied, the larger molecules move more slowly through the gel while the smaller molecules move faster.

When they are the longest serving State Governor, the Governor of New South Wales holds a dormant commission to act as the Administrator of the Commonwealth when the Governor-General of Australia is absent from Australia, a role held by the current Governor.

When a current-carrying semiconductor is kept in a magnetic field, the charge carriers of the semiconductor experience a force in a direction perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the current.

When the current flowing through an inductor changes, creating a time-varying magnetic field inside the coil, a voltage is induced, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which by Lenz's law opposes the change in current that created it.
