Top: The charge is at rest in frame F, so this observer sees a static electric field. An observer in another frame F ′ moves with velocity v relative to F, and sees the charge move with velocity −v with an altered electric field E due to length contraction and a magnetic field B due to the motion of the charge.
Q – electric charge; Charged black holes are two of four possible types of black holes that have been found by solving Einstein's theory of gravitation, general relativity. The mathematical solutions for the shape of space and the electric and magnetic fields near a black hole are named after the persons who first worked them out.
Stokes–Einstein–Sutherland equation, for diffusion of spherical particles through a liquid with low Reynolds number: = Here q is the electrical charge of a particle; μ q is the electrical mobility of the charged particle; η is the dynamic viscosity;
In physics, the special theory of relativity, or special relativity for short, is a scientific theory of the relationship between space and time.In Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, the theory is presented as being based on just two postulates: [p 1] [1] [2]
In Einstein's theory of general relativity, the Schwarzschild metric (also known as the Schwarzschild solution) is an exact solution to the Einstein field equations that describes the gravitational field outside a spherical mass, on the assumption that the electric charge of the mass, angular momentum of the mass, and universal cosmological constant are all zero.
Electric charge is a conserved property: the net charge of an isolated system, the quantity of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge, cannot change. Electric charge is carried by subatomic particles. In ordinary matter, negative charge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms ...
Einstein's 1905 paper that introduced the world to relativity opens with a description of the magnet/conductor problem: [3]. It is known that Maxwell's electrodynamics – as usually understood at the present time – when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena.
where n is the number of charges, q i is the amount of charge associated with the ith charge, r i is the position of the ith charge, r is the position where the electric field is being determined, and ε 0 is the electric constant. If the field is instead produced by a continuous distribution of charge, the summation becomes an integral:
