  2. Vacuum permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permeability

    In the old "electromagnetic (emu)" system of units, defined in the late 19th century, k m was chosen to be a pure number equal to 2, distance was measured in centimetres, force was measured in the cgs unit dyne, and the currents defined by this equation were measured in the "electromagnetic unit (emu) of current", the "abampere". A practical ...

  3. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    In electromagnetism, permeability is the measure of magnetization produced in a material in response to an applied magnetic field.Permeability is typically represented by the (italicized) Greek letter μ.

    mu: magnetic moment: ampere square meter (A⋅m 2) coefficient of friction: unitless (dynamic) viscosity (also ) pascal second (Pa⋅s) permeability (electromagnetism) henry per meter (H/m) reduced mass: kilogram (kg) Standard gravitational parameter: cubic meter per second squared mu nought

  5. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.

  6. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    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 n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  7. Magnetic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_pressure

    The magnetic pressure force is readily observed in an unsupported loop of wire.If an electric current passes through the loop, the wire serves as an electromagnet, such that the magnetic field strength inside the loop is much greater than the field strength just outside the loop.

  8. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    This equation is often represented using derivative notation such that =, where dm is the elementary magnetic moment and dV is the volume element. The net magnetic moment of the magnet m therefore is m = ∭ M d V , {\displaystyle \mathbf {m} =\iiint \mathbf {M} \,\mathrm {d} V,} where the triple integral denotes integration over the volume of ...

  9. Impedance of free space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_of_free_space

    Hence Z 0 is sometimes referred to as the intrinsic impedance of free space, [2] and given the symbol η 0. [3] It has numerous other synonyms, including: wave impedance of free space, [4] the vacuum impedance, [5] intrinsic impedance of vacuum, [6] characteristic impedance of vacuum, [7] wave resistance of free space.
