  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

    The net electric flux Φ E is the surface integral of the electric field E passing through Σ: =, The net electric current I is the surface integral of the electric current density J passing through Σ : I = ∬ Σ J ⋅ d S , {\displaystyle I=\iint _{\Sigma }\mathbf {J} \cdot \mathrm {d} \mathbf {S} ,} where d S denotes the differential vector ...

    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.

  5. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    For example, consider a conductor moving in the field of a magnet. [8] In the frame of the magnet, that conductor experiences a magnetic force. But in the frame of a conductor moving relative to the magnet, the conductor experiences a force due to an electric field. The motion is exactly consistent in these two different reference frames, but ...

  6. 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]

    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 ...

  8. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Heaviside's version (see Maxwell–Faraday equation below) is the form recognized today in the group of equations known as Maxwell's equations. In 1834 Heinrich Lenz formulated the law named after him to describe the "flux through the circuit". Lenz's law gives the direction of the induced emf and current resulting from electromagnetic induction.

  9. 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 ...
