  2. Electric potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential

    The electric potential and the magnetic vector potential together form a four-vector, so that the two kinds of potential are mixed under Lorentz transformations. Practically, the electric potential is a continuous function in all space, because a spatial derivative of a discontinuous electric potential yields an electric field of impossibly ...

  3. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electromagnetism...

    Continuous charge distribution. 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.

  4. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The following outline of proof states the derivation from the definition of electric potential energy and Coulomb's law to this formula. Outline of proof The electrostatic force F acting on a charge q can be written in terms of the electric field E as F = q E , {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =q\mathbf {E} ,}

  5. Retarded potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_potential

    Position vectors r and r′ used in the calculation. The starting point is Maxwell's equations in the potential formulation using the Lorenz gauge: =, = where φ(r, t) is the electric potential and A(r, t) is the magnetic vector potential, for an arbitrary source of charge density ρ(r, t) and current density J(r, t), and is the D'Alembert operator.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode...

    The data below tabulates standard electrode potentials (E°), in volts relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), at: . Temperature 298.15 K (25.00 °C; 77.00 °F); ...

  7. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    These equations taken together are as powerful and complete as Maxwell's equations. Moreover, the problem has been reduced somewhat, as the electric and magnetic fields together had six components to solve for. [1] In the potential formulation, there are only four components: the electric potential and the three components of the vector potential.

  8. List of common physics notations - Wikipedia

    potential energy: joule (J) internal energy: joule (J) relativistic mass: kilogram (kg) energy density: joule per cubic meter (J/m 3) specific energy: joule per kilogram (J/kg) voltage also called electric potential difference volt (V) volume: cubic meter (m 3) shear force: velocity: meter per second (m/s)

  9. Coefficients of potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficients_of_potential

    The coefficients of potential are the coefficients p ij. φ i should be correctly read as the potential on the i -th conductor, and hence " p 21 {\displaystyle p_{21}} " is the p due to charge 1 on conductor 2.
