Sentences with phrase «opposite electric charges»

Likewise, if black holes act like information mirrors, as Hayden and Preskill suggested, a particle falling into a black hole would be followed by an antiparticle coming out — a partner with the opposite electric charge — which would carry the information contained in the spin of the original particle.

He went on to assert that every particle has a mirror - image antiparticle with nearly identical properties, except for an opposite electric charge.

The most recent addition to the tour, discovered just last year, involves what appears to be a giant plume of antimatter — a fountain of particles identical to ordinary matter except that they have the opposite electric charge — shooting up from the core and straight out of the disk of the galaxy as far as 5,000 light - years, where the antimatter jet meets clouds of ordinary matter, and both are annihilated in a burst of energy.

Not exact matches

When voltage is applied to the capacitor, electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, build up on each plate.

Unlike an electric field, which can be obstructed by any material that has an opposite charge, gravity can't be blocked.

That imbalance pushes oppositely charged particles in opposite directions to create a powerful electric current.

But adding parallel magnetic and electric fields introduces a chiral preference: The magnetic field aligns the spins of the positive and negative particles in opposite directions, and the electric field starts the oppositely charged particles moving — positive particles move with the electric field, negative ones against it.

(If the magnetic field orientation is flipped relative to the electric field, the preference would be for left - handed particles, but still with opposite charges separating.)

If a particle has other attributes (such as an electric charge Q), then the anti-particle has the opposite attributes (or a charge of - Q).
