The nature of Petschek-type reconnection T. G. Forbes
... where Rme and V Ae are the magnetic Reynolds number and Alfvén speed in the region far upstream of the current sheet. Because of its logarithmic dependence on Rme , the Petschek reconnection rate is many orders of magnitude greater than the Sweet-Parker rate, and for most space and laboratory appli ...

• Electric charge is a fundamental attribute of particles
... Figure 25.16 shows a source (a battery) with an emf ξ of 12 V and an internal resistance r of 2 Ω. (For comparison, the internal resistance of a commercial 12-V lead storage battery is only a few thousandths of an ohm.) The wires to the left of a and to the right of the ammeter A are not connected t ...
