discharge vâbâr Fr.: décharge The removal or transference of an electric charge, as by the
conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy. From M.E. deschargen, from O.Fr. deschargier "unload," from L.L. discarricare, from → dis- "do the opposite of" + carricare "to load a cart," from carrus "cart." |
electric charge bâr-e barqi (#) Fr.: charge électrique The intrinsic property of matter responsible for all electric phenomena, occurring in two forms arbitrarily designated → negative and → positive. |
electric discharge vâbâr-e barqi Fr.: décharge électrique The flow of electricity through a gas, resulting in the emission of radiation that is characteristic of the gas and of the intensity of the current. |
electron charge bâr-e elektron (#) Fr.: charge de l'électron The charge of one electron, e = -1.602 176 × 10-19→ coulombs or -4.803 204 51 × 10-10→ statcoulombs. |
electrostatic charge bâr-e barqistâ Fr.: charge électrostatique A quantity of electricity at rest on the surface of an insulator or an insulated conductor. → electrostatic; → charge. |
free charge bâr-e âzâd Fr.: charge libre An electric charge which is not held by another charge, in contrast to a → bound charge. |
negative charge bâr-e nâyidâr Fr.: charge négative An electric charge that has the same sign as the electron. |
nuclear charge bâr-e haste-yi (#) Fr.: charge nucléaire The positive electric charge on the nucleus of an atom. |
polarization charge bâr-e qotbeš Fr.: Same as → bound charge. → polarization; → charge. |
positive charge bâr-e dâhidâr Fr.: charge positive A charge having sign opposite to that of the electron. |
space charge bâr-e fazâyi (#) Fr.: charge d'espace Electricity: An electric charge belonging to a cloud of electrons lying between
a cathode and plate within an electric tube. |
specific charge bâr-e âbizé Fr.: charge spécifique The electric charge to mass ratio of an elementary particle. |
unbound charge bâr-e nâbandidé Fr.: charge non liée Same as → free charge. |
