Electric Multiple Units Of Japan
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, a force will act on it. The magnitude of this force is given by Coulomb's law. If the charge moves, the electric field would be doing work on the electric charge. Thus we can speak of electric potential at a certain point in space, which is equal to the work done by an external agent in carrying a unit of p ...

Kintetsu 5800 Series
The , nicknamed the "L/C car", is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway on standard gauge () commuter services in the Kansai area since 1998. The series won the Laurel Prize in 1998 by the Japan Railfan Club for having the most innovative features for trains entering service that year. Overview Perpendicular seating has long been provided on long-distance services on the Osaka and Nagoya lines. In previous Kintetsu 2600 series trainsets and related counterparts, fixed perpendicular seats were a common feature on these services. However, passengers complained about their lack of comfort. In the early to mid-1990s, the railway began experimenting with seats that could change between longitudinal (perimeter) and transverse (row) seating configurations. In January 1996, A 4-car 2600 series set would be retrofitted with rotating seats. During peak hours, the seats would be configured in the transverse configuration ...

Tobu 70000 Series
The is a Japanese DC electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Tobu Railway on Tobu Skytree Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line inter-running services since 7 July 2017. Variants *70000 series (in service since 7 July 2017) *70090 series (in service since 20 March 2020) 70000 series Overview The 70000 series trains are scheduled to replace the 20000 series EMUs used on Tobu Skytree Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line inter-running services. Due to the effective length of the new trains which have 20 m long cars instead of the 18 m long cars of the 20000 series, the trains were formed of seven cars instead of eight cars to cope with Hibiya Line platform lengths, resulting in about a 1% reduction in capacity. A unified door arrangement with four pairs per side instead of the mixture of three and five pairs per side on the 20000 series trains allows the installation of platform edge doors on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line once the older trai ...
