  2. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    The mechanism is similar to transfer of momentum of balls in a Newton's cradle [11] but the rapid propagation of an electric energy along a wire is not due to the mechanical forces, but the propagation of an energy-carrying electromagnetic field guided by the wire. Most metals have electrical resistance.

  3. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

    the magnetic flux density B which acts back on the electrical domain, by curving the motion of charges and causing electromagnetic induction. The SI units of B are volt -seconds per square meter , a ratio equivalent to one tesla .

  6. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    When the current in the coil is turned off, most of the domains in the core material lose alignment and return to a random state, and the electromagnetic field disappears. However, some of the alignment persists because the domains resist turning their direction of magnetization, which leaves the core magnetized as a weak permanent magnet.

  7. Magnetoresistance - Wikipedia

    Some occur in bulk non-magnetic metals and semiconductors, such as geometrical magnetoresistance, Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations, or the common positive magnetoresistance in metals. [1] Other effects occur in magnetic metals, such as negative magnetoresistance in ferromagnets [ 2 ] or anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR).

    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.

  9. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction .
