Hey Bobbywhy! Thanks for the reply.
I apologize if my question is unclear. I have a limited background in physics and am trying to figure out the best way to word it.
So if you have a droplet of liquid, there is a surface tension (a force) associated with that droplet. In introductory physics...
Hey Nugatory! thanks for the reply.
I guess a better example would be two droplets, one connected to the positive terminal of the DC source and the other connected to the negative terminal. I'm trying to figure out how the droplets would respond to the applied potential (Would they split into...
Hi guys!
I have a question regarding liquid metals. Suppose you had a droplet of liquid metal in empty space. Take the droplet and connect it to a DC source. What happens if the voltage of the DC source exceeds the surface tension of the liquid metal droplet? Would the droplet split in two...
Hello!
I was wondering what would happen if you placed a piece of undoped Si in an external electric field (say, between the plates of a capacitor) under illumination. Would it generate current?
I'm essentially trying to understand if a large enough external electric field could split an...
