Question

polarity n.极性；磁性引力；两极 (1) 极性是磁铁的固有性质。(2) 注意R上电压降的极性。(3) 分子的疏水性跟分子的体积和极性有关。(4) 南北两极的磁场最强，赤道上磁场较为微弱，而各地的磁性也会因纬度而改变。(5) 他把电池两极弄反了。 Polarity can literally refer to a positive or negative electric charge. Less literally, it indicates something with two opposing but related qualities. You might visualize polarity as a battery holder with a plus sign on one end and a negative on the other. More than just opposites, polarity suggests opposites that are interconnected. What would the light of day be without the dark of night? Good without evil? Yin without Yang?
