The linear charge density is the ratio of an infinitesimal electric charge dQ (SI unit: C) to an infinitesimal line element, =, similarly the surface charge density uses a surface area element dS =, and the volume charge density uses a volume element dV =,
Linear density is the measure of a quantity of any characteristic value per unit of length. Linear mass density (titer in textile engineering, the amount of mass per unit length) and linear charge density (the amount of electric charge per unit length) are two common examples used in science and engineering.
The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.
By the relation between charge and charge density, this equation is equivalent to: = for any volume V. In order for this equation to be simultaneously true for every possible volume V , it is necessary (and sufficient) for the integrands to be equal everywhere.
which can be written in terms of free charge and bound charge densities (by considering the relationship between the charges, their volume charge densities and the given volume): = + Since within a homogeneous dielectric there can be no free charges ( ρ f = 0 ) {\displaystyle (\rho _{f}=0)} , by the last equation it follows that there is no ...
R is a region containing all the points at which the charge density is nonzero; r ' is a point inside R; and; ρ(r ') is the charge density at the point r '. The equations given above for the electric potential (and all the equations used here) are in the forms required by SI units.
In electromagnetism, current density is the amount of charge per unit time that flows through a unit area of a chosen cross section. [1] The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the positive charges at this point.
the total electric charge density (total charge per unit volume), ρ, and; the total electric current density (total current per unit area), J. The universal constants appearing in the equations (the first two ones explicitly only in the SI formulation) are: the permittivity of free space, ε 0, and; the permeability of free space, μ 0, and
