  2. Electric potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential

    Electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential) is defined as the amount of work/energy needed per unit of electric charge to move the charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field.

  3. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    An electric field (sometimes called E-field [1]) is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles.In classical electromagnetism, the electric field of a single charge (or group of charges) describes their capacity to exert attractive or repulsive forces on another charged object.

  4. 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.

  5. Aluminium–air battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–air_battery

    Aluminium as a "fuel" for vehicles has been studied by Yang and Knickle. [1] In 2002, they concluded: The Al/air battery system can generate enough energy and power for driving ranges and acceleration similar to gasoline powered cars...the cost of aluminium as an anode can be as low as US$ 1.1/kg as long as the reaction product is recycled.

  6. Oil drop experiment - Wikipedia

    Robert A. Millikan in 1891. Starting in 1908, while a professor at the University of Chicago, Millikan, with the significant input of Fletcher, [8] the "able assistance of Mr. J. Yinbong Lee", and after improving his setup, published his seminal study in 1913. [9]

  7. Quantum field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory

    Peter Higgs, Robert Brout, François Englert, Gerald Guralnik, Carl Hagen, and Tom Kibble proposed in their famous Physical Review Letters papers that the gauge symmetry in Yang–Mills theories could be broken by a mechanism called spontaneous symmetry breaking, through which originally massless gauge bosons could acquire mass.

  8. Tesla (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The tesla (symbol: T) is the unit of magnetic flux density (also called magnetic B-field strength) in the International System of Units (SI).. One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre.

  9. Gravitational field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_field

    In classical mechanics, a gravitational field is a physical quantity. [5] A gravitational field can be defined using Newton's law of universal gravitation.Determined in this way, the gravitational field g around a single particle of mass M is a vector field consisting at every point of a vector pointing directly towards the particle.
