These are represented physically by, for example, two different voltages of an electric current.
Power is supplied by an electric current generated in a pack outside the body.

Then he switched on an electric current to heat up the foil instantly to 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
This is similar to cytoscopy, except the probe is used to burn away cancer cells with an electric current.
Hydrolysis--running an electric current through water to produce hydrogen--yields fuel that is usually not economically competitive with other forms of energy.
This can be done by heating the gas (a thermal plasma) or passing an electric current through it (a non-thermal plasma).
Michael Faraday discovered in 1831 that an electric current flowing in a wire induces a secondary current in a neighbouring wire.
These two are an industrial pair because they are manufactured in the same process, by passing an electric current through salt water.
It produces an electric current, which the chips use to send out an identifying signal, which the computer recognizes as being me.
Creating a magnetic field using electricity is easy: an electric current flowing in a wire generates a magnetic field around that wire.

Similarly, moving a magnet creates an electric current in a neighbouring wire.

These run from anode to cathode and thus create an electric current.

Recent work has also demonstrated that at suitably low temperatures they can act as superconductors transmitting an electric current indefinitely, without power loss.
Silver is known to kill bacteria, but the addition of an electric current makes the process even more effective, killing up to 98% of bacteria.
Stick the part in acid, run an electric current through it and we can increase the thickness of the layer by a factor of 20-40.
Dr Benford reckons some of them could have built up an electric current as they moved through the strong magnetic field that pervades the centre of the galaxy.
The flat panel displays, which make kaleidoscopic colors when jabbed with a finger, contain liquid crystal sandwiched between layers of glass or plastic which becomes opaque with an electric current.
When light hits a plasmonic surface, it creates a wave of electrons that move at the same frequencies as photons, rather than the much slower frequencies of an electric current.
Five years ago Dr Blanke found he could induce such experiences at will in one such person by stimulating a particular part of her brain the right angular gyrus with an electric current.
Anodizing involves dipping the aluminum into a bath of chemicals and running an electric current through it, which helps to protect the metal against corrosion and makes it easier to adhere color.

These use an electric current to heat and ablate a material, producing a charged gas that can then be accelerated in one direction in a magnetic field to push the cubesat in the other direction.
The process reverses electrolysis, which many may recall from a high school experiment that involved placing two electrodes in water, passing an electric current through them and collecting the hydrogen and oxygen that bubbled off.
As the train's magnets pass over a frame, they induce an electric current in it and this, in turn, generates a magnetic field which repels the magnet that started the whole process and thus levitates the train.
The molecules are then sorted according to their length by using an electric current to drag them through a gel (small molecules move faster than big ones) and the order of the colours in the gel is read off, using a laser.
Applying an electric current and getting a muscle to jump is easy. (Alessandro Volta jolted a frog's legs 218 years ago.) Peckham is harvesting the body's own electrical signals to control muscles that have been cut off from the nervous system, a process called functional electrical stimulation, or FES. Peckham runs a group called the Cleveland FES Center, a collaboration among Case Western Reserve and two Cleveland hospitals.
Once cooled, they would be reinvigorated back to their original ionic states by an external electric current, and pumped back into the chip.
And when a magnetic field line vibrates, he says, it makes an electric field which excites current in wires.

Researchers from Dartmouth have come up with a new way to provide health monitors just such an ability using a tiny electric current and a bioimpedance sensor.

Plug loads refer to electric power consumed by products through an ordinary alternating current plug socket.
