A principle called superposition applies to magnetic fields, which, in simple terms, means that if there are two things creating a magnetic field in the same area, the resulting magnetic field in ...

Electrifying: a bumble-bee's tiny hairs detect electric fields. (Courtesy: G P Sutton et al.) The bumble-bee uses its distinctive yellow-and-black fuzz to sense weak electric fields. ... The bee is ...

A new study is shedding light on why solar radiation is more effective than other forms of energy at causing water to evaporate. The key factor turns out to be the oscillating electric field inherent ...

We'll talk about three big ideas: electric potential difference (voltage), electric current, and electric field. Yes, they are all related, and I will show you how with some water and an LED.

For a hydrogen atom, the upward pull of this electric field is 10.6 times stronger than gravity pulling downward, said Alex Glocer, a NASA physicist and co-author of the study. Advertisement ...

But electric fields are a dynamic phenomenon, explains Hunting. “Flowers typically have a negative potential and bees have a positive potential,” Hunting says. “Once bees approach, they can ...

Scientists found that dolphins have an ability to sense electric fields, which may help them hunt and navigate the seas. By Carolyn Wilke Newborn bottlenose dolphins sport a row of hairs along the ...
