Dictionary » C » Capacitor CapacitorCapacitor (Science: radiobiology) device used to store electrical energy by accumulating charge on conductors situated close to one another. Energy may be stored and withdrawn at varying rates. Used in short-pulse plasma devices where only a moderate amount of energy is needed. ![]()

Results from our forumRe: The Physics of how the Myelin Sheath actually works.If you consider the properties of a capacitor, you have two metal plates seperated by a diaelectric component. The metal plates have a pos charge on one plate, and a neg charge on the other plate. These two plates are seperated by a dielectric ...

The Physics of how the Myelin Sheath actually works.... that the sheath acts like a sort of insulator and dielectric (aren't dielectrics normally conductors though?). Now, a normal nerve cell is a capacitor, sitting at -70 mV when compared to the outside, if you add a myelin sheath, what will this do? It will decrease the potential difference, ...

The Fiber Disease... If we create a series of metal plates (perhaps 3 ,a few inches or a few feet apart), each with its own capacitor plate connected to batteries, where each metal plate is lined with copper or zinc, palladium, lead, antimagnetic mu metal, aluminum, and ceramics; ...

plasma membrane bilayer. Capacitor!because the bilayer can build up a voltage, and becaus these voltages discharge, can't the bilayer be anologous to a capacitor. If so, has anyone measured the capacitance of certain membranes?
