31. Even buried phone lines can carry electrical charges into your home. 32. Evidently the slime from the slug or snail reacts with the copper and causes an electrical charge. 33. For example, the familiar liquid crystal display, or LCD, employs semiconductor transistors that can alter the electrical charge of liquid-crystal materials. 34. For the channels to work, the cells must reach a certain internal electrical charge. 35. Gratzel suspects that something more mundane is occurring, however, such as friction between the catalyst and the glass container causing a buildup of electrical charge. 36. He developed and explored theories about the role electrical charges play in the formation of precipitation as well as in tornadoes. 37. Ice is one of the unusual semiconductors in which electrical charges are conducted by moving protons instead of electrons. 38. In addition, it is unimaginably small and so neutral in terms of electrical charge that trillions of them pass through our bodies each day undetected. 39. In brief, the heat from the electrical charge causes the insect to explode. 40. In their theory, the electrical charges of the virtual particles would induce equally ephemeral currents in the metal plates. |
