  3. Poynting's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting's_theorem

    where: is the rate of change of the energy density in the volume. ∇•S is the energy flow out of the volume, given by the divergence of the Poynting vector S. J•E is the rate at which the fields do work on charges in the volume (J is the current density corresponding to the motion of charge, E is the electric field, and • is the dot product).

  4. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    The important point of this is that the zero-point field energy H F does not affect the Heisenberg equation for a kλ since it is a c-number or constant (i.e. an ordinary number rather than an operator) and commutes with a kλ. We can therefore drop the zero-point field energy from the Hamiltonian, as is usually done.

  5. First law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

    The first law of thermodynamics is a formulation of the law of conservation of energy in the context of thermodynamic processes.The law distinguishes two principal forms of energy transfer, heat and thermodynamic work, that modify a thermodynamic system containing a constant amount of matter.

  6. Finite field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field

    In mathematics, a finite field or Galois field (so-named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains a finite number of elements.As with any field, a finite field is a set on which the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division are defined and satisfy certain basic rules.

  7. Ordered field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_field

    Every ordered field is a formally real field, i.e., 0 cannot be written as a sum of nonzero squares. [2] [3] Conversely, every formally real field can be equipped with a compatible total order, that will turn it into an ordered field. (This order need not be uniquely determined.) The proof uses Zorn's lemma. [5]

  8. Third law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_law_of_thermodynamics

    Gadolinium alloy heats up inside the magnetic field and loses thermal energy to the environment, so it exits the field and becomes cooler than when it entered. To be concrete, we imagine that we are refrigerating magnetic material. Suppose we have a large bulk of paramagnetic salt and an adjustable external magnetic field in the vertical direction.
