  2. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    A simple example of this system is a pair of charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign separated by some typically small distance. (A permanent electric dipole is called an electret.) A magnetic dipole is the closed circulation of an electric current system. A simple example is a single loop of wire with constant current through it.

  3. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    One example of an induction interaction between permanent dipole and induced dipole is the interaction between HCl and Ar. In this system, Ar experiences a dipole as its electrons are attracted (to the H side of HCl) or repelled (from the Cl side) by HCl.

  4. Electric dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_dipole_moment

    By truncating this expansion (for example, retaining only the dipole terms, or only the dipole and quadrupole terms, or etc.), the results of the previous section are regained. In particular, truncating the expansion at the dipole term, the result is indistinguishable from the polarization density generated by a uniform dipole moment confined ...

  5. Electret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electret

    The polar molecules of the dielectric align themselves to the direction of the electric field, producing a dipole electret with a permanent polarization. Modern electrets are sometimes made by embedding excess charges into a highly insulating dielectric, e.g. using an electron beam , corona discharge , injection from an electron gun , electric ...

  6. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    In classical electromagnetism, magnetization is the vector field that expresses the density of permanent or induced magnetic dipole moments in a magnetic material. Accordingly, physicists and engineers usually define magnetization as the quantity of magnetic moment per unit volume. [1] It is represented by a pseudovector M.

  7. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    For permanent magnets this is usually only a small change, but if you have an electromagnet that consists of a wire wound round an iron core, and you bring a permanent magnet near to that core, then the magnetization of that core can change drastically (for example, if there is no current in the wire, the electromagnet would not be magnetic ...

  8. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    A dipole is characterised by its dipole moment, a vector quantity shown in the figure as the blue arrow labeled M. It is the relationship between the electric field and the dipole moment that gives rise to the behaviour of the dielectric. (Note that the dipole moment points in the same direction as the electric field in the figure.

  9. Polarization density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_density

    When a dielectric is placed in an external electric field, its molecules gain electric dipole moment and the dielectric is said to be polarized. Electric polarization of a given dielectric material sample is defined as the quotient of electric dipole moment (a vector quantity, expressed as coulombs*meters (C*m) in SI units) to volume (meters ...
