  2. Floating charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_charge

    In finance, a floating charge is a security interest over a fund of changing assets of a company or other legal person.Unlike a fixed charge, which is created over ascertained and definite property, a floating charge is created over property of an ambulatory and shifting nature, such as receivables and stock.

  3. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor. [1] A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and/or slide against each other and then separate.

  4. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    A charge-generated E-field can be expressed as the gradient of a scalar field that is a solution to Poisson's equation, and has a zero path integral. See gradient theorem . The integral equation is true for any path ∂ Σ through space, and any surface Σ for which that path is a boundary.

  6. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    [4]: p.711–713 If, while it is close to the positive charge, the above object is momentarily connected through a conductive path to electrical ground, which is a large reservoir of both positive and negative charges, some of the negative charges in the ground will flow into the object, under the attraction of the nearby positive charge. When ...

  7. Charge (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    This charge is sometimes called the Noether charge. Thus, for example, the electric charge is the generator of the U(1) symmetry of electromagnetism. The conserved current is the electric current. In the case of local, dynamical symmetries, associated with every charge is a gauge field; when quantized, the gauge field becomes a gauge boson. The ...

    A natural science – one that seeks to elucidate the rules that govern the natural world using empirical and scientific methods. A physical science – one that studies non-living systems. A biological science – one that studies the role of physical processes in living organisms. See Outline of biophysics.

  9. Method of image charges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_image_charges

    The method of image charges (also known as the method of images and method of mirror charges) is a basic problem-solving tool in electrostatics.The name originates from the replacement of certain elements in the original layout with fictitious charges, which replicates the boundary conditions of the problem (see Dirichlet boundary conditions or Neumann boundary conditions).
