  2. Casimir effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect

    The force is negative, indicating that the force is attractive: by moving the two plates closer together, the energy is lowered. The presence of ħ shows that the Casimir force per unit area ⁠ F c / A ⁠ is very small, and that furthermore, the force is inherently of quantum-mechanical origin.

  3. Yukawa potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukawa_potential

    The potential is monotonically increasing in r and it is negative, implying the force is attractive. In the SI system, the unit of the Yukawa potential is the inverse meter . The Coulomb potential of electromagnetism is an example of a Yukawa potential with the e − α m r {\displaystyle e^{-\alpha mr}} factor equal to 1, everywhere.

  4. Negative energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_energy

    The negative-energy particle then crosses the event horizon into the black hole, with the law of conservation of energy requiring that an equal amount of positive energy should escape. In the Penrose process , a body divides in two, with one half gaining negative energy and falling in, while the other half gains an equal amount of positive ...

  5. Nuclear force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_force

    Force (as multiples of 10 000 N) between two nucleons as a function of distance as computed from the Reid potential (1968). [1] The spins of the neutron and proton are aligned, and they are in the S angular momentum state. The attractive (negative) force has a maximum at a distance of about 1 fm with a force of about 25 000 N. Particles much ...

  6. Newton's theorem of revolving orbits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_theorem_of...

    When k is less than one, the inverse-cube force is repulsive, whereas when k is greater than one, the force is attractive. An inverse-cube central force F 2 (r) has the form = where the numerator μ may be positive (repulsive) or negative (attractive). If such an inverse-cube force is introduced, Newton's theorem says that the corresponding ...

  7. Coulomb barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_barrier

    A positive value of U is due to a repulsive force, so interacting particles are at higher energy levels as they get closer. A negative potential energy indicates a bound state (due to an attractive force). The Coulomb barrier increases with the atomic numbers (i.e. the number of protons) of the colliding nuclei:

  8. Adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion

    While the first term is simply the zero-point energy, the negative second term describes an attractive force between neighboring oscillators. The same argument can also be extended to a large number of coupled oscillators, and thus skirts issues that would negate the large scale attractive effects of permanent dipoles cancelling through ...

  9. Van der Waals force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force

    In molecular physics and chemistry, the van der Waals force (sometimes van der Waals' force) is a distance-dependent interaction between atoms or molecules. Unlike ionic or covalent bonds , these attractions do not result from a chemical electronic bond ; [ 2 ] they are comparatively weak and therefore more susceptible to disturbance.
