Classification
Nouns denoting natural objects (not man-made).
Examples
- The concept of an electric doublet is fundamental to understanding various types of electromagnetic phenomena in physics.
- In the simplest case, an electric doublet consists of a positive and a negative charge separated by a small distance.
- The electric doublet moments are used in calculations to determine the force between two charges separated by an intermediate dielectric material.
- The concept of a rotating electric doublet has led to the development of more complex models for understanding polar molecules in a solvent.
- A freely rotating electric doublet possesses a significant electric polarizability that contributes to the dielectric properties of materials.
