  2. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    Any accelerating electric charge, and therefore any changing electric current, gives rise to an electromagnetic wave that propagates at very high speed outside the surface of the conductor. This speed is usually a significant fraction of the speed of light, as can be deduced from Maxwell's equations , and is therefore many times faster than the ...

  3. Electromagnetic propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_propulsion

    Electromagnetic propulsion (EMP) is the principle of accelerating an object by the utilization of a flowing electrical current and magnetic fields.The electrical current is used to either create an opposing magnetic field, or to charge a field, which can then be repelled.

  4. Alternating current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    An alternating current of any frequency is forced away from the wire's center, toward its outer surface. This is because an alternating current (which is the result of the acceleration of electric charge) creates electromagnetic waves (a phenomenon known as electromagnetic radiation).

  5. Classical electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism

    Classical electromagnetism or classical electrodynamics is a branch of physics focused on the study of interactions between electric charges and currents using an extension of the classical Newtonian model.

  6. Cyclotron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotron

    Each time a particle crosses the accelerating gap in a cyclotron, it is given an accelerating force by the electric field across the gap, and the total particle energy gain can be calculated by multiplying the increase per crossing by the number of times the particle crosses the gap. [44]

  7. Acceleration voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration_voltage

    The acceleration voltage is an important quantity for the design of microwave cavities for particle accelerators. See also shunt impedance. For the special case of an electrostatic field that is surpassed by a particle, the acceleration voltage is directly given by integrating the electric field along its path.

  8. What is an acceleration clause? And what triggers it? - AOL

    An acceleration clause is a section of a mortgage contract that can have big consequences: Namely, it can require you to pay off your entire mortgage at once. Even if you miss only one payment.

  9. Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

    By combining the Lorentz force law above with the definition of electric current, the following equation results, in the case of a straight stationary wire in a homogeneous field: [30] =, where ℓ is a vector whose magnitude is the length of the wire, and whose direction is along the wire, aligned with the direction of the conventional current I.
