-KEY-

is for Ammeter

An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name.

is for Binding Energy

In physics, binding energy is the minimum energy required to disassemble a system of particles into separate parts.

is for Compton effect

Compton scattering Effect, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon by a charged particle, usually an electron. It results in a decrease in energy of the photon, called the Compton effect.

is for Decibel

The decibel is a measure of sound intensity; that is, the magnitude of the fluctuations in air pressure caused by sound waves. The intensity of noise diminishes with distance.

is defined as a state of balance or a stable situation where opposing forces cancel each other out and where no changes are occurring.

is for Equilibrium

is for Fusion

combining lighter atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus. Energy is absorbed or released by the process and the resulting nucleus is lighter than the combined masses of the two original nuclei added together. ... This process may also be called heat fusion.

is for Grounding

the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground.

is for Harmonics

are unwanted higher frequencies which superimposed on the fundamental waveform creating a distorted wave pattern.

is for Interference

Constructive interference occurs when the wave amplitudes reinforce each other, building a wave of even greater amplitude.

Destructive interference occurs when the wave amplitudes oppose each other, resulting in waves of reduced amplitude.

is for Joule

SI unit of energy equal to one Newton.

is for Kinetic energy

Energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

is for Law of universal gravitation

States that every point mass in the universe attracts every other point mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

is for Magnetic field

a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.

is for Nuclear Energy

the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.

is for Ohm’s law

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

is for Potential energy

In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
