  2. 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 ...

  3. Electric flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_flux

    For simplicity in calculations it is often convenient to consider a surface perpendicular to the flux lines. If the electric field is uniform, the electric flux passing through a surface of vector area A is = = ⁡, where E is the electric field (having the unit V/m), E is its magnitude, A is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between ...

  4. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    In physics, the electric displacement field (denoted by D), also called electric flux density, is a vector field that appears in Maxwell's equations. It accounts for the electromagnetic effects of polarization and that of an electric field , combining the two in an auxiliary field .

  5. 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.

  6. Interface conditions for electromagnetic fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_conditions_for...

    Interface conditions describe the behaviour of electromagnetic fields; electric field, electric displacement field, and the magnetic field at the interface of two materials. The differential forms of these equations require that there is always an open neighbourhood around the point to which they are applied, otherwise the vector fields and H ...

  7. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electromagnetism...

    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.

  8. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    The triboelectric effect (also known as triboelectricity, triboelectric charging, triboelectrification, or tribocharging) describes electric charge transfer between two objects when they contact or slide against each other. It can occur with different materials, such as the sole of a shoe on a carpet, or between two pieces of the same material.

  9. 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]
