Electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential) is defined as the amount of work/energy needed per unit of electric charge to move the charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field.
An electric field (sometimes called E-field [1]) is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles.In classical electromagnetism, the electric field of a single charge (or group of charges) describes their capacity to exert attractive or repulsive forces on another charged object.
Coulomb's inverse-square law, or simply Coulomb's law, is an experimental law [1] of physics that calculates the amount of force between two electrically charged particles at rest.
Robert A. Millikan in 1891. Starting in 1908, while a professor at the University of Chicago, Millikan, with the significant input of Fletcher, [8] the "able assistance of Mr. J. Yinbong Lee", and after improving his setup, published his seminal study in 1913. [9]
Computer simulation of Earth's field in a period of normal polarity between reversals. [1] The lines represent magnetic field lines, blue when the field points towards the center and yellow when away.
Peter Higgs, Robert Brout, François Englert, Gerald Guralnik, Carl Hagen, and Tom Kibble proposed in their famous Physical Review Letters papers that the gauge symmetry in Yang–Mills theories could be broken by a mechanism called spontaneous symmetry breaking, through which originally massless gauge bosons could acquire mass.
In physics, Gauss's law for magnetism is one of the four Maxwell's equations that underlie classical electrodynamics.It states that the magnetic field B has divergence equal to zero, [1] in other words, that it is a solenoidal vector field.
The tesla (symbol: T) is the unit of magnetic flux density (also called magnetic B-field strength) in the International System of Units (SI).. One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre.
