Administrative status
On 4 April 2007, most of the area occupied by the Clarence Strait was gazetted by the Northern Territory Government as a locality with the name, Vernon Islands. The locality has not been added to any existing local government area and is considered to be part of the Northern Territory's unincorporated areas.[2][3][4]

gollark: The transistor switches the inductor between being connected to the voltage source's other end and being connected to it only through the diode and capacitor and resistor and such. The inductor "wants" to keep the current through it constant. When it's connected to the other end of the voltage source, it's "charging", and when it is disconnected there is a voltage across it slightly bigger than the voltage source's voltage, which causes a current through the left side of the circuit.
gollark: I could also use pronouns, but then I would have to mention HTech™ at least once to make it clear.
gollark: This is generally how language works.
gollark: I was talking about HTech™, so I said HTech™.
