Do you mean only “effect” ?

Then it will be any result that has a cause or a reason to have occurred. Like, force is the cause or reason while motion is the effect. If you give force to an object, it will move (obviously conditions exist, like friction or change in shape, but let's not go in those).

The word ‘effect’ is being used as both a verb and a noun.

noun: a change which is a result or consequence of an action or other cause.

verb: cause (something) to happen; bring about.

So ‘effect an effect’ simply means “cause a change”.

A clever use of a verb and a noun …

”to effect” — to cause a result

”an effect” — the result

Without context I would say FIRST effect = activate, second = application, thus

Mr Wright is right, but it’s a similar clumsy tautology. “Have an effect” or “Effect a change” would be more natural.

It depends on where and how the restriction is designed. For instance NASCAR uses restrictor plates underneath carburetors to try to regulate top speeds and accelerations during races.

In intake manifolds, rather than going to completely smooth polished interior surfaces, there frequently left textured in specific areas to disrupt airflow thereby reducing stiction (laminar flow adhering to surfaces.)

Especially in venturi effects, restrictions may have benefits: that's pretty much the definition of the Venturi Principle.

Here’s a starter.

Grab a book on the subject you are asking about .

Read it and do your own homework.

The process is called learning, and an example of this effect is called knowledge.

First and Foremost it is INDUCTIVE effect

Due to this effect electrons are donated (+I effect) or extracted (-I effect) by an EWG(Electron Withdrawing Group) or EDG(Electron Donating Group) from the rest of the compound. For example in *CH2CH2Cl (* -> carbonation) Cl will withdraw electrons from *CH2CH2 by -I effect thereby reduce the electron density on *CH2CH2.

Hello, they are not the same.

As verbs, “affect” normally means to change something, where “effect" means to bring about or to make happen.

For example:

The Government is effecting its new chocolate laws today. This will affect all citizens as they now need a permit before they can buy any.

If you make the above substitutions to see which applies, you will be able to choose the correct spelling for your sentence.

There are many noun definitions that you can look up in a dictionary, yourself

No. Normally effect is a noun and affect is a verb, but they do have substantially the same meaning when used in this way. But not exactly; compare: His praise had a great effect on their work performance” with “His praise greatly affected their work performances”. The second is not really right. So affecting x and having an effect on x often cannot be interchanged. And sometimes the meaning is very different; compare: “They raised wages, and the effect was more company loyalty” with “They raised wages, and it affected company loyalty”. Not the same at all; you can get there by saying “positiv

And sometimes the meaning is very different; compare: “They raised wages, and the effect was more company loyalty” with “They raised wages, and it affected company loyalty”. Not the same at all; you can get there by saying “positively affected” but that is a little stilted. Better to say “had a positive effect”.

There are other uses where effect is a verb: “She was able to effect (cause there to be) changes in the system.” Similarly, “She seemed to suffer from flattened affect (no strong feelings with a low mood baseline)”

“In effect” sort of compares cause and effect; it can imply that the effect was not intended/expected/obvious. But not necessarily: “The government imposed a stamp duty holiday, in effect lowering the cost of buying a home”.
