  2. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    In the image, the vector F 1 is the force experienced by q 1, and the vector F 2 is the force experienced by q 2. When q 1 q 2 > 0 the forces are repulsive (as in the image) and when q 1 q 2 < 0 the forces are attractive (opposite to the image). The magnitude of the forces will always be equal.

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force, which is known as the buoyant force, that is proportional to the weight of the displaced liquid. The sum force acting on the object, then, is equal to the difference between the weight of the object ('down' force) and the weight of displaced liquid ('up' force).

    In his theory, the longitudinal mass = and the transverse mass =, where is the Lorentz factor and is the rest mass of the electron. [5] The concept of (transverse) electromagnetic mass m T {\displaystyle m_{T}} , which was based on specific models of the electron, was later transmuted into the purely kinematical concept of relativistic mass ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio

    When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.

  6. Effective nuclear charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_nuclear_charge

    In atomic physics, the effective nuclear charge of an electron in a multi-electron atom or ion is the number of elementary charges an electron experiences by the nucleus. It is denoted by Z eff . The term "effective" is used because the shielding effect of negatively charged electrons prevent higher energy electrons from experiencing the full ...

  7. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    The invariant mass of an electron is approximately 9.109 × 10 −31 kg, [80] or 5.489 × 10 −4 Da. Due to mass–energy equivalence, this corresponds to a rest energy of 0.511 MeV (8.19 × 10 −14 J). The ratio between the mass of a proton and that of an electron is about 1836.

  8. Electron-on-helium qubit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-on-Helium_Qubit

    An electron close to the surface of liquid helium experiences an attractive force due to the formation of a weak (~0.01e) image charge in the dielectric liquid. However, the electron is prevented from entering the liquid by a high (~1 eV) barrier formed at the surface due to the hard-core repulsion of the electron by the helium atoms.

  9. Electron mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mass

    In particle physics, the electron mass (symbol: m e) is the mass of a stationary electron, also known as the invariant mass of the electron. It is one of the fundamental constants of physics . It has a value of about 9.109 × 10 −31 kilograms or about 5.486 × 10 −4 daltons , which has an energy-equivalent of about 8.187 × 10 −14 joules ...
