  2. Gauss's law for gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law_for_gravity

    Restatement of Newton's law of universal gravitation. In physics, Gauss's law for gravity, also known as Gauss's flux theorem for gravity, is a law of physics that is equivalent to Newton's law of universal gravitation. It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. It states that the flux (surface integral) of the gravitational field over any closed ...

  3. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    Gauss's law. Foundational law of electromagnetism relating electric field and charge distributions. Gauss's law in its integral form is particularly useful when, by symmetry reasons, a closed surface (GS) can be found along which the electric field is uniform. The electric flux is then a simple product of the surface area and the strength of ...

  4. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B in the system of Gaussian units and is equal to Mx /cm 2 or g / Bi /s 2, while the oersted is the unit of H -field. One tesla (T) corresponds to 10 4 gauss, and one ampere (A) per metre corresponds to 4π × 10 −3 oersted. The units for magnetic flux Φ, which is the integral of magnetic B ...

  5. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    In mathematics, a Gaussian function, often simply referred to as a Gaussian, is a function of the base form and with parametric extension for arbitrary real constants a, b and non-zero c. It is named after the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. The graph of a Gaussian is a characteristic symmetric "bell curve" shape.

  6. Gauss–Codazzi equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Codazzi_equations

    The Gauss formula [6] now asserts that is the Levi-Civita connection for M, and is a symmetric vector-valued form with values in the normal bundle. It is often referred to as the second fundamental form. An immediate corollary is the Gauss equation for the curvature tensor.

  7. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    Scientists. v. t. e. An electric field (sometimes called E-field[1]) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles. Charged particles exert attractive forces on each other when their charges are opposite, and repulse each other when their charges are the same. Because these forces are exerted mutually, two charges must be ...

  8. Gaussian units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_units

    Gaussian units. Carl Friedrich Gauss. Gaussian units constitute a metric system of physical units. This system is the most common of the several electromagnetic unit systems based on cgs (centimetre–gram–second) units. It is also called the Gaussian unit system, Gaussian-cgs units, or often just cgs units. [a] The term "cgs units" is ...

  9. Gaussian integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integral

    A graph of the function and the area between it and the -axis, (i.e. the entire real line) which is equal to . The Gaussian integral, also known as the Euler–Poisson integral, is the integral of the Gaussian function over the entire real line. Named after the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, the integral is.
