Because powerlines are typically 400,000 volts, and
Earth is at an electrical
potential voltage of zero volts, pylons create
electric fields between the cables they carry and the ground.
Rare
earth metals are essential for wind turbines and
electric vehicles but
potential short supply may become a limiting factor, writes Liu Hongqiao
The interesting thing about the physics of plasma double layers is that they are regions defined by charge separation that enshroud matter immersed in a cell of plasma, and the
electric potential drop occurs within the double layer itself, so if we have a solar source that is positively charged, for example, and an
earth that is negatively charged, then the
electric potential drop is not between the anodic sun and the cathodic
earth themselves, but within the plasma double layer shrouding the
earth from its plasma environment.
