  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. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  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. 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. The van der ...

  7. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    Coulomb's inverse-square law, or simply Coulomb's law, is an experimental law [1] of physics that calculates the amount of force between two electrically charged particles at rest. This electric force is conventionally called the electrostatic force or Coulomb force. [2]

  8. 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:

  9. Virtual photon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_photon

    Virtual photons can be classified into positive and negative virtual photons. These classifications are based on the direction of their energy and momentum and their contribution to the electromagnetic force. [2] If virtual photons exchanged between particles have a positive energy, they contribute to the electromagnetic force as a repulsive force.
