| current | <chemistry> The amount of charge carried per unit time. (09 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| current density | <radiobiology> Amount of current flowing through a substance, per unit area perpendicular to the direction of current flow. (See also density) (09 Oct 1997) |
| current drive | <radiobiology> Any of a variety of techniques used to cause current flow in a plasma. See inductive current drive, RF current drive, non-inductive current drive. Usually applied to schemes used to generate current in tokamaks and other toroidal devices which require internal plasma currents. See: bootstrap current. (09 Oct 1997) |
| current of injury | The current set up when an injured part of a nerve, muscle, or other excitable tissue is connected through a conductor with the uninjured region; the injured tissue is negative to the uninjured. Synonym: demarcation current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| halo current | <radiobiology> Currents in the halo region of a plasma discharge. See: halo. (09 Oct 1997) |
| high frequency current | An alternating electric current having a frequency of 10,000 or more per second; it produces no muscular contractions and does not affect the sensory nerves. Synonym: d'Arsonval current, Tesla current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dark current | <physiology> Current caused by constant influx of sodium ions into the rod outer segment of retinal photoreceptors and that is blocked by light (leading to hyperpolarization). The plasma membrane sodium channel is controlled through a cascade of amplification reactions initiated by photon capture by rhodopsin in the disc membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
| d'Arsonval current | An alternating electric current having a frequency of 10,000 or more per second; it produces no muscular contractions and does not affect the sensory nerves. Synonym: d'Arsonval current, Tesla current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| demarcation current | The current set up when an injured part of a nerve, muscle, or other excitable tissue is connected through a conductor with the uninjured region; the injured tissue is negative to the uninjured. Synonym: demarcation current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending current | The direction of current flow in a nerve when the cathode is placed peripheral to the anode, in contrast to ascending current. Synonym: centrifugal current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| direct current | (DC) Electric current which travels continuously in the same direction over a sustained period of time, contrast with AC (Alternating Current) which oscillates as a function of time. (09 Oct 1997) |
| inductive current drive | <physics> Method to drive current in a toroidal plasma by using the torus of conducting plasma as the second coil in a transformer. The primary coil usually runs down the centre of the torus, changes in the current driven through the primary coil create changing magnetic fields which drive current in the plasma. The current thus driven can be used to heat the plasma as well (see also ohmic heating, induction). (09 Oct 1997) |
| Tesla current | An alternating electric current having a frequency of 10,000 or more per second; it produces no muscular contractions and does not affect the sensory nerves. Synonym: d'Arsonval current, Tesla current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eddy current | <radiobiology> Electric current induced inside a conductor when the conductor (a) moves through a nonuniform magnetic field, or (b) experiences a change in the magnetic flux through its surface. (09 Oct 1997) |
| eddy-current loss | <radiobiology> Energy loss due to eddy currents circulating in a resistive material. (09 Oct 1997) |
