  2. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    No charge is enclosed by the sphere. Electric flux through its surface is zero. Gauss's law may be expressed as: [6] = where Φ E is the electric flux through a closed surface S enclosing any volume V, Q is the total charge enclosed within V, and ε 0 is the electric constant.

  3. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    In integral form, it states that the work per unit charge required to move a charge around a closed loop equals the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the enclosed surface. The electromagnetic induction is the operating principle behind many electric generators : for example, a rotating bar magnet creates a changing magnetic field and ...

  4. Divergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergence_theorem

    The volume rate of flow of liquid through a source or sink (with the flow through a sink given a negative sign) is equal to the divergence of the velocity field at the pipe mouth, so adding up (integrating) the divergence of the liquid throughout the volume enclosed by S equals the volume rate of flux through S. This is the divergence theorem. [2]

  5. Gauss's law for magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law_for_magnetism

    Left: Some examples of closed surfaces include the surface of a sphere, surface of a torus, and surface of a cube. The magnetic flux through any of these surfaces is zero. Right: Some examples of non-closed surfaces include the disk surface, square surface, or hemisphere surface. They all have boundaries (red lines) and they do not fully ...

  6. Magnetic flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux

    In physics, specifically electromagnetism, the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface. It is usually denoted Φ or Φ B. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb; in derived units, volt–seconds or V⋅s), and the CGS unit is the maxwell. [1]

  7. Gaussian surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_surface

    A cylindrical Gaussian surface is commonly used to calculate the electric charge of an infinitely long, straight, 'ideal' wire. A Gaussian surface is a closed surface in three-dimensional space through which the flux of a vector field is calculated; usually the gravitational field, electric field, or magnetic field. [1]

  8. Relativistic electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_electromagnetism

    An observer at rest with respect to a system of static, free charges will see no magnetic field. However, a moving observer looking at the same set of charges does perceive a current, and thus a magnetic field. That is, the magnetic field is simply the electric field, as seen in a moving coordinate system.

  9. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    Since the metal is moving, the magnetic flux through a given area of the sheet is changing. In particular, the part of the sheet moving toward the edge of the magnet (the left side) experiences an increase in magnetic flux density d B d t > 0 {\displaystyle {\frac {dB}{dt}}>0} .
