Abstract:
it is expounded the properties of conductance changes of the stratum corneum (SC) under the electric pulse field. It is considered that conductance for SC is determined by activation and inactivation factors. With the diffusion chamber as system, and the SC from cadaver as the object, we studied the behavior of the conductance change under the electric pulse field. The results show that theoretical curves of conductance on SC are fitted very well with the data from these experiments. So the conclusion is that these parameters of activation factor and inactivation factor (m

Electrical Conductivity
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...

Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor
In the 19th century, Michael Faraday conducted the famous ice pail experiment to prove that the charges always reside on the surface of a conductor. The experimental set-up consists of a conducting uncharged container mounted on an insulating stand. The outer surface of the container is...

Theory of Metallic Conduction
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
An electron moves through the crystal, containing positive ions,...
