Currents in a sentence

Rip currents Rip currents are fast, narrow currents that are caused by onshore transport within the surf zone and the successive return of the water seaward.

These currents generate electric currents which create the magnetic field.

Although many rip currents are much smaller, the largest rip currents have a width of forty or fifty feet.

Although surface currents do flow on the inner walls of the waveguides, those surface currents do not carry power.

Based on Nansen's observations of ocean currents recorded during the Fram expedition, Ekman concluded that the effect of wind on the sea's surface produced currents which "formed something like a spiral staircase, down towards the depths".

Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.

Fluctuations in ocean currents Another important contribution to ancient climate regimes is the variation of ocean currents, which are modified by continent position, sea levels and salinity, as well as other factors.

It was thought that in the body, Tesla currents travelled close to the skin surface, making them safer than lower-frequency electric currents.

Magnetic field and electric currents Currents of electric charges both generate a magnetic field and feel a force due to magnetic B-fields.

One is charges and currents (so-called “sources”), and the other cause for an E or M field is a change in the other type of field (this last cause also appears in “free space” very far from currents and charges).

Reed relays which are actuated by low currents and switch fast are suitable for controlling small currents.

Rip currents are common on beaches with mild slopes that experience sizable and frequent oceanic swell. citation The vorticity and inertia of rip currents were studied.

Since the tissue layers are very thin, they provide too little power to swim against currents and just enough to control movement within currents.

The insulation prevents eddy currents between the sheets, so any remaining currents must be within the cross sectional area of the individual laminations, reducing the area of the loop and thus reducing the energy losses greatly.

These arise from electric currents along field lines ("field aligned currents"), generated by a dynamo mechanism due to the relative motion between the rotating planet and the moving moon.

These include: * Kirchhoff's current law : The sum of all currents entering a node is equal to the sum of all currents leaving the node.

The short-circuited turns of the rotor develop eddy currents in the rotating field of the stator, and these currents in turn move the rotor by the Lorentz force.

When a group of customers sharing the neutral draw unequal phase currents, the common neutral wire carries the currents resulting from these imbalances.

At maturity each anther will release copious amounts of small, lightweight pollen grains that are easily dispersed by wind currents.

Did you know that these small insects can create ocean currents?
