Electrokinetic phenomena - Alchetron, the free social encyclopedia

Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "This is electromagnetism — one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. 🌌 When electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around it. Wrap that wire into a coil, and the field strengthens — turning electricity into magnetism. Add an iron core inside, and you get an electromagnet powerful enough to lift cars or move train tracks. That same principle powers everything from your phone’s speakers and motors to MRI machines and maglev tr

Electrokinesis potential applications?

smart_explain on Instagram: "As geologists, we usually study rocks to understand Earth’s history. But some minerals do more than tell stories — they generate electricity. When rocks rich in quartz, feldspar, or lithium minerals are fractured or rubbed together, electrons get displaced, creating a measurable electrical charge. This effect is linked to piezoelectric and electrokinetic phenomena, and even helps explain mysterious events like earthquake lights. What you’re seeing here isn’t a trick.
