universe. Recent astrophysical research indicates that such filaments can transfer electricity both between galaxies and between star clusters. Neutron stars, pulsars, magnetars, quasars and astrophysical jets play an important role in cosmic electric phenomena. It is hypothesized that star formation in clusters is in part powered by those filaments, as the star formation mostly occurs along strings, following the plasma filaments. It is believed that the intergalactic plasma filaments are slowly rotating, because of their electric charge that generates multi-layer, concentric electromagnetic fields. This filament rotation may account for the position and rotation of galaxies. This is a field of ongoing scientific research. The James Webb Space Telescope yields new insights that enable further astrophysical exploration into this subject.
2206: 2240: 2404:(1947), "The metallic substances differ from all other materials by the fact that the outer shells of their atoms are bound rather loosely, and often let one of their electrons go free. Thus the interior of a metal is filled up with a large number of unattached electrons that travel aimlessly around like a crowd of displaced persons. When a metal wire is subjected to electric force applied on its opposite ends, these free electrons rush in the direction of the force, thus forming what we call an electric current." 42: 1673:
times a second. DC power sources are also trivial to add to circuits, both in theory and in practice. For AC, however, phase must be considered when dealing with multiple power sources; whether the phase is off by 0 or π makes a massive difference in the functionality of a circuit. Additionally, circuits with capacitive and inductive elements are very easy to mathematically represent with DC. Charge on a capacitor and resistance on an inductor asymptotically stabilize with time, meaning DC systems reach
1626:), where DC is used. The main issue with using DC in commercial power transmission is changing voltage for consumers, but this is because the voltage is changed multiple times. For safety, voltage is stepped down the closer it gets to consumers to prevent incredibly high voltage lines from running through highly populated residential areas. However, if constant voltage transmission across long distances is needed, DC outperforms AC. DC carries better over distance and experiences less heat loss, as the 4876: 1619:(EMF) of higher or lower voltage in the connected power line. DC, however, generally does not fluctuate much, resulting in an unchanging electric field, which generates no magnetic field, making induction impossible. While there is now technology for DC transformers, they are more complex, massive, and expensive than AC transformers, and when infrastructural power grids were being built in much of the world, such technology either didn't exist or was inefficient to utilize. 1678:
voltage. AC, on the other hand, never reaches steady state. The fluctuating current means there will always be changing capacitive and inductive effects in the circuit, complicating mathematical analysis of the circuit. While the required formulas for these effects are still relatively simple functions of time and voltage, voltage is now a sinusoidal function of time, not to mention the phase delay and forwarding in capacitive and inductive elements.
2561: 216: 4921: 2673:, or by application of a high electric or alternating magnetic field as noted above. Due to their lower mass, the electrons in a plasma accelerate more quickly in response to an electric field than the heavier positive ions, and hence carry the bulk of the current. The free ions recombine to create new chemical compounds (for example, breaking atmospheric oxygen into single oxygen , which then recombine creating 2912:, for every energy there is a state with electrons flowing in one direction and another state with the electrons flowing in the other. For a net current to flow, more states for one direction than for the other direction must be occupied. For this to occur, energy is required, as in the semiconductor the next higher states lie above the band gap. Often this is stated as: full bands do not contribute to the 1225: 3345: 1692: 1241: 1378:, the actual direction of current through a specific circuit element is usually unknown until the analysis is completed. Consequently, the reference directions of currents are often assigned arbitrarily. When the circuit is solved, a negative value for the current implies the actual direction of current through that circuit element is opposite that of the chosen reference direction. 1874:. A pod of these sea mammals can communicate, for example to warn each other of predators. Migratory birds can sense the magnetic field of the Earth, using it to coordinate their flight. Some migratory sea animals, like salmon and sea turtles, also use Earth's magnetic field to navigate during long-distance migration. 1978:
