Phase rule
A generalization with regard to systems of chemical equilibrium discovered by Prof J Willard Gibbs It may be stated thus The degree of variableness number of degrees of freedom of a system is equal to the number of components minus the number of phases plus two Thus if the components be salt and water and the phases salt ice saturated solution and vapor the system is invariant that is there is only one set of conditions under which these four phases can exist in equilibrium If only three phases be considered the system is univariant that is the fixing of one condition as temperature determines the others...

electric current
the movement of electrically charged particles atoms or ions through solids liquids gases or free space the term is usually used of relatively smooth movements of electric charge through conductors whether constant or variable Sudden movements of charge are usually referred to by other terms such as spark or lightning or discharge In metallic conductors the electric current is usually due to movement of electrons through the metal The current is measured as the rate of movement of charge per unit time and is counted in units of amperes As a formal definition the direction of movement of electric current is considered as the same as the direction of movement of positive charge or in a direction opposite to the movement of negative charge Electric current may move constantly in a single direction called direct current abbreviated DC or may move alternately in one direction and then the opposite direction called alternating current abbreviated AC...
Current official scale of rates
Current official scale of rates, the expression 'current' means 'vogue' or 'prevalent'; and 'current rate' may mean the rate obtaining at a particular time or at a future time or from time to time. The terms goes well with the present, future and recurrent, the words 'current official' scale of rates' in para IV of the agreement mean the official scale of rates current or prevalent from time to time during the currency of the agreement, Gopisetti Venkatratmam v. Vijayawada Municipality, AIR 1966 SC 353 (354, 355): (1965) 3 SCR 276. [Electricity Act, (9 of 1910), s. 21(2)]...
