  2. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    Here, k e is a constant, q 1 and q 2 are the quantities of each charge, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges. The force is along the straight line joining the two charges. If the charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them makes them repel; if they have different signs, the force between them makes them attract.

  3. Vacuum permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permittivity

    Vacuum permittivity, commonly denoted ε 0 (pronounced "epsilon nought" or "epsilon zero"), is the value of the absolute dielectric permittivity of classical vacuum.It may also be referred to as the permittivity of free space, the electric constant, or the distributed capacitance of the vacuum.

  4. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity

    The vacuum permittivity ε o (also called permittivity of free space or the electric constant) is the ratio ⁠ D / E ⁠ in free space. It also appears in the Coulomb force constant, = Its value is [6] [7]

  5. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    These include the Boltzmann constant, which gives the correspondence of the dimension temperature to the dimension of energy per degree of freedom, and the Avogadro constant, which gives the correspondence of the dimension of amount of substance with the dimension of count of entities (the latter formally regarded in the SI as being dimensionless).

  6. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    Motor velocity constant, back EMF constant [ edit ] K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} is the motor velocity, or motor speed, [ 2 ] constant (not to be confused with kV, the symbol for kilovolt ), measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) per volt or radians per volt second, rad/V·s: [ 3 ]

    c, G, k e, e, where c is the speed of light, G is the gravitational constant, k e is the Coulomb constant, and e is the elementary charge. George Johnstone Stoney's unit system preceded that of Planck by 30 years. He presented the idea in a lecture entitled "On the Physical Units of Nature" delivered to the British Association in 1874.

  8. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    The relative permittivity (in older texts, dielectric constant) is the permittivity of a material expressed as a ratio with the electric permittivity of a vacuum. A dielectric is an insulating material, and the dielectric constant of an insulator measures the ability of the insulator to store electric energy in an electrical field.

  9. High-κ dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-κ_dielectric

    In the semiconductor industry, the term high-κ dielectric refers to a material with a high dielectric constant (κ, kappa), as compared to silicon dioxide.High-κ dielectrics are used in semiconductor manufacturing processes where they are usually used to replace a silicon dioxide gate dielectric or another dielectric layer of a device.
