    differential vector element of surface area A, with infinitesimally small magnitude and direction normal to surface S: square meter (m 2) differential element of volume V enclosed by surface S: cubic meter (m 3) electric field: newton per coulomb (N⋅C −1), or equivalently, volt per meter (V⋅m −1)

  3. Vector notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_notation

    In mathematics and physics, vector notation is a commonly used notation for representing vectors, [1] [2] which may be Euclidean vectors, or more generally, members of a vector space. For denoting a vector, the common typographic convention is lower case, upright boldface type, as in v .

  4. Vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_field

    In vector calculus and physics, a vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a space, most commonly Euclidean space. [1] A vector field on a plane can be visualized as a collection of arrows with given magnitudes and directions, each attached to a point on the plane.

  5. Curl (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curl_(mathematics)

    Interchanging the vector field v and ∇ operator, we arrive at the cross product of a vector field with curl of a vector field: = () , where ∇ F is the Feynman subscript notation, which considers only the variation due to the vector field F (i.e., in this case, v is treated as being constant in space).

  6. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    Note: This page uses common physics notation for spherical coordinates, in which is the angle between the z axis and the radius vector connecting the origin to the point in question, while is the angle between the projection of the radius vector onto the x-y plane and the x axis. Several other definitions are in use, and so care must be taken ...

  7. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics)

    In vector spaces, the Euclidean norm is a measure of magnitude used to define a distance between two points in space. In physics , magnitude can be defined as quantity or distance. An order of magnitude is typically defined as a unit of distance between one number and another's numerical places on the decimal scale.

  8. Flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux

    For vector flux, the surface integral of j over a surface S, gives the proper flowing per unit of time through the surface: = ^ =, where A (and its infinitesimal) is the vector area – combination = ^ of the magnitude of the area A through which the property passes and a unit vector ^ normal to the area. Unlike in the second set of equations ...
