The dipole moment of an object is a measure of how electrical charge is distributed within it.
It emits an electrical charge and cuts through flesh but healing is much quicker than with a knife.
Induction heating, by applying an electrical charge directly to the recovery hose, might work assuming the hose is metal.

The trace of this electrical charge left behind in the fingerprint is imaged using an electric field microscopy system.

The IPCC confirmed a Taser, which delivers a 50, 000-volt electrical charge into targets to incapacitate them, was fired during the incident.
They can put an electrical charge on satellites in high orbits, such as communications satellites, and may damage their sensitive electronics.
Before now it was not clear whether the bacteria directly conducted an electrical charge themselves or used something else to do it.
The Japanese automaker also designed the battery pack to sense a crash and disable its electrical charge when involved in an accident.
The outer two layers are made up of PZT-5H - a ceramic substance that produces an electrical charge when mechanical stress is applied.

Rather than being dissipated into the earth, the electrical charge stays in the key, which throws off sparks when approached, say, by the experimenter's finger.
This generates an electrical charge which is then fed into batteries.
An imperceptible electrical charge ran from the meter through his body.
Engineers had learned that a resistor, which restricts the flow of electrical current, is best made of certain materials and a capacitor, which stores electrical charge, of others.
It used electrons to measure a molecule's electrical charge.
Working on a theory to combine quantum mechanics with Einstein's special relativity, he realised his equations predicted a corresponding anti-particle for every particle in existence - identical in every respect, but with an opposite electrical charge.
This microscopic scale and sensitivity allows the sensor to map a high-resolution image of electrical charge that occurs over the surface of a source material (for example a human finger), when it makes contact with a thin insulating surface (ie a plastic surface).

Milgram expected 30% of those subjects to deliver what they thought was a fatal electrical charge to an unseen but loudly screaming subject in response to orders from the authority overseeing the experiment. 65% of those subjects actually delivered the fatal electrical shock.

The method works because the electrical field polarises the electric charge on water molecules in the air around the icy tip and then draws them in electrostatically.
Even though it may be plugged into any common 110-volt electrical outlet for a slow charge, high-speed electric vehicle charging stations have only sprung up in major population centers or along busy highway corridors, meaning a lack of foresight before heading down a less-traveled road may initiate a tow truck encounter.
This wire draws down "electrical fire" from the clouds, the charge being conducted earthward along the kite's rain-soaked string.
In many areas local utility companies will even cut back your wayward tree branches free of charge if they sit too close to electrical lines.

When fully dedicated to missile defence, some ships already devote 40% of their power to electrical systems, says Rear-Admiral Philip Cullom, in charge of the navy's fleet readiness.
The first socket is used to charge the lithium-ion battery and the second can be used to connect electrical devices such as coolers or camping lights.
