  2. Flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux

    The flux for any cross-sectional surface of the tube will be the same. The total flux for any surface surrounding a charge q is q/ε 0. [15] In free space the electric displacement is given by the constitutive relation D = ε 0 E, so for any bounding surface the D-field flux equals the charge Q A within it. Here the expression "flux of ...

    The direction in space that is directly opposite the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, as viewed from Earth; considered as a point on the celestial sphere, the Milky Way's anticenter is in the constellation Auriga. Galactic Center The rotational center of the Milky Way galaxy, consisting of a supermassive black hole of 4.100 ± 0.034 million ...

  5. Solar particle event - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_particle_event

    Post-eruptive loops in the wake of a solar flare, image taken by the TRACE satellite (photo by NASA). In solar physics, a solar particle event (SPE), also known as a solar energetic particle event or solar radiation storm, [a] [1] is a solar phenomenon which occurs when particles emitted by the Sun, mostly protons, become accelerated either in the Sun's atmosphere during a solar flare or in ...

  6. Intensity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and many other areas of science and engineering the intensity or flux of radiant energy is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy. [a] In the SI system, it has units watts per square metre (W/m 2), or kg⋅s −3 in base units.

  7. Current density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_density

    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.

  8. Interchange instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_instability

    If two adjacent flux tubes lying opposite along the boundary (one fluid tube and one magnetic flux tube) are interchanged the volume element doesn't change and the field lines are straight. Therefore, the magnetic potential doesn't change, but the gravitational potential changes since it was moved along the z axis .

  9. Flux transfer event - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_transfer_event

    Magnetic fields similar to Earth's are common throughout known space and many undergo similar flux transfer events. During its second flyby of the planet on October 6, 2008, the NASA probe MESSENGER discovered that Mercury ’s magnetic field shows a magnetic reconnection rate ten times higher than Earth's.
