Electric currents in infinite networks

In this survey, we will present the basic facts about conduction in infinite networks. This survey is based on the work of Flanders [5, 6], Zemanian [17], and Thomassen [14], who developed the theory of infinite networks from scratch. Here we will show how to get a more complete theory by paralleling the well-developed theory of conduction on open Riemann surfaces. Like Flanders and Thomassen, ...

ELECTRIC CURRENT Effect of Electric Currents on Cells and Tissues

In the presence ol electrical currents, the body behaves like an electrochemical system. On the other hand, due to anatomical reasons such as the presence of membranes, it generates potential differences between different parts of the body. Therefore, when one considers the possibility of electrical currents acting upon the body, the end result will be the integration of the intrinsic currents ...

Electric Currents Key to Magnetic Phenomena

Including the effects of electric currents in any description of the origin, shape, or motion of cosmic magnetized plasma is crucial for understanding many observed astronomical phenomena. The Maxwell (Heaviside) equations are based on real experimental measurements. These fundamental expressions clearly link electric current densities, magnetic flux densities, and electric fields into a unifie...

Electric fields in plasmas under pulsed currents.

Electric fields in a plasma that conducts a high-current pulse are measured as a function of time and space. The experiment is performed using a coaxial configuration, in which a current rising to 160 kA in 100 ns is conducted through a plasma that prefills the region between two coaxial electrodes. The electric field is determined using laser spectroscopy and line-shape analysis. Plasma doping...
