  2. Electric flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_flux

    For simplicity in calculations it is often convenient to consider a surface perpendicular to the flux lines. If the electric field is uniform, the electric flux passing through a surface of vector area A is = = ⁡, where E is the electric field (having the unit V/m), E is its magnitude, A is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between ...

  3. Faraday paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox

    The induced electromotive force in any closed circuit is equal to the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux enclosed by the circuit. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This version of Faraday's law strictly holds only when the closed circuit is a loop of infinitely thin wire, [ 4 ] and is invalid in other circumstances.

  4. Electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

    Photons with energy greater than the bandgap of the semiconductor create mobile electron–hole pairs. Charge separation occurs because of a pre-existing electric field associated with the p-n junction. This electric field is created from a built-in potential, which arises from the contact potential between the two different materials in the ...

  5. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    No charge is enclosed by the sphere. Electric flux through its surface is zero. Gauss's law may be expressed as: [6] = where Φ E is the electric flux through a closed surface S enclosing any volume V, Q is the total charge enclosed within V, and ε 0 is the electric constant.

  6. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity

    = = , where is the net electric flux passing through the surface, is the charge enclosed in the Gaussian surface, is the electric field vector at a given point on the surface, and is a differential area vector on the Gaussian surface.

  7. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    In physics, the electric displacement field (denoted by D), also called electric flux density, is a vector field that appears in Maxwell's equations. It accounts for the electromagnetic effects of polarization and that of an electric field , combining the two in an auxiliary field .

  8. Passive sign convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_sign_convention

    Illustration of the "reference directions" of the current (), voltage (), and power () variables used in the passive sign convention.If positive current is defined as flowing into the device terminal which is defined to be positive voltage, then positive power (big arrow) given by the equation = represents electric power flowing into the device, and negative power represents power flowing out.

  9. Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect

    The conventional "hole" current is in the negative direction of the electron current and the negative of the electrical charge which gives I x = ntw(−v x)(−e) where n is charge carrier density, tw is the cross-sectional area, and −e is the charge of each electron.
