We'll talk about three big ideas: electric potential difference (voltage), electric current, and electric field. Yes, they are all related, and I will show you how with some water and an LED.

Scientists have identified the basic principle of electric wind in plasma. This finding will contribute to developing technology in various applications of plasma, including fluid control technology.

The electric field is a vector field with SI units of newtons per coulomb (N C−1) or, equivalently, volts per metre (V m−1). The SI base units of the electric field are kg·m·s−3·A−1.

This animation shows how the ambipolar electric field works. The most abundant gas in the lower atmosphere, the part we live in, is nitrogen (N2, shown around seven seconds).

First came the surprising discovery that Earth’s atmosphere is leaking. But for roughly 60 years, the reason remained a mystery. Since the late 1960s, satellites over the poles detected an ...

The onboard instruments measured changes in electric potential from the altitude where the field should begin – 250 km (150 miles) – up to the maximum height it reached, 768 km (477 miles).

The Earth's ambipolar electric field is a phenomenon that occurs in the ionosphere, the upper part of the Earth's atmosphere, where ions and electrons are present in significant quantities.
