  2. Electric potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential

    The electric potential and the magnetic vector potential together form a four-vector, so that the two kinds of potential are mixed under Lorentz transformations. Practically, the electric potential is a continuous function in all space, because a spatial derivative of a discontinuous electric potential yields an electric field of impossibly ...

  3. Coefficients of potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficients_of_potential

    The coefficients of potential are the coefficients p ij. φ i should be correctly read as the potential on the i -th conductor, and hence " p 21 {\displaystyle p_{21}} " is the p due to charge 1 on conductor 2.

  4. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Equivalently, the overdetermination can be viewed as implying conservation of electric and magnetic charge, as they are required in the derivation described above but implied by the two Gauss's laws. For linear algebraic equations, one can make 'nice' rules to rewrite the equations and unknowns. The equations can be linearly dependent.

  5. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The following outline of proof states the derivation from the definition of electric potential energy and Coulomb's law to this formula. Outline of proof The electrostatic force F acting on a charge q can be written in terms of the electric field E as F = q E , {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =q\mathbf {E} ,}

  6. Liénard–Wiechert potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liénard–Wiechert_potential

    The Liénard–Wiechert potentials describe the classical electromagnetic effect of a moving electric point charge in terms of a vector potential and a scalar potential in the Lorenz gauge. Stemming directly from Maxwell's equations , these describe the complete, relativistically correct, time-varying electromagnetic field for a point charge in ...

  7. Retarded potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_potential

    Position vectors r and r′ used in the calculation. The starting point is Maxwell's equations in the potential formulation using the Lorenz gauge: =, = where φ(r, t) is the electric potential and A(r, t) is the magnetic vector potential, for an arbitrary source of charge density ρ(r, t) and current density J(r, t), and is the D'Alembert operator.

  8. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    In advanced classical mechanics it is often useful, and in quantum mechanics frequently essential, to express Maxwell's equations in a potential formulation involving the electric potential (also called scalar potential) φ, and the magnetic potential (a vector potential) A. For example, the analysis of radio antennas makes full use of Maxwell ...

  9. Butler–Volmer equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butler–Volmer_equation

    In effect, the concentrations are a function of the potential as well. A full treatment, which yields the current as a function of potential only, will be expressed by the extended Butler–Volmer equation, but will require explicit inclusion of mass transfer effects in order to express the concentrations as functions of the potential.
