  2. Force field (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(physics)

    An electric field exerts a force on a point charge q, given by =. [ 5 ] In a magnetic field B {\displaystyle \mathbf {B} } , a point charge moving through it experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the direction of the field, following the relation: F = q v × B {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =q\mathbf {v} \times \mathbf {B} } .

  3. Force field (technology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(technology)

    The concept of force fields as a defensive measure from enemy attack or as a form of attack can be regularly found in modern video games as well as in film, such as in The War of the Worlds (1953, George Pál) and Independence Day. The ability to create a force field has been a common superpower in comic books and associated media.

  4. Force field (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(chemistry)

    Part of force field of ethane for the C-C stretching bond. In the context of chemistry, molecular physics, physical chemistry, and molecular modelling, a force field is a computational model that is used to describe the forces between atoms (or collections of atoms) within molecules or between molecules as well as in crystals.

  5. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    In physics, a unified field theory (UFT) is a type of field theory that allows all fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a single type of field. According to modern discoveries in physics, forces are not transmitted directly between interacting objects but instead are described and interpreted by intermediary ...

    Force field (chemistry), a set of parameter and equations for use in molecular mechanics simulations Force field (physics) , a vector field indicating the forces exerted by one object on another Force field (technology) , a barrier made up of energy, plasma or particles to protect a person, area or object from attacks or intrusions or as a ...

  7. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    This is exactly the field of a point dipole, exactly the dipole term in the multipole expansion of an arbitrary field, and approximately the field of any dipole-like configuration at large distances. Frames of reference for calculating the forces between two dipoles Force between coaxial cylinder magnets.

  8. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    This field causes, by electromagnetic induction, an electric current to flow in the wire loop on the right. The most widespread version of Faraday's law states: The electromotive force around a closed path is equal to the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux enclosed by the path. [16] [17]

  9. Artificial gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gravity

    Scientists are concerned about the effect of such a system on the inner ear of the occupants. The concern is that using centripetal force to create artificial gravity will cause disturbances in the inner ear leading to nausea and disorientation. The adverse effects may prove intolerable for the occupants. [5]
