  2. Displacement current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_current

    Consider the charging capacitor in the figure. The capacitor is in a circuit that causes equal and opposite charges to appear on the left plate and the right plate, charging the capacitor and increasing the electric field between its plates. No actual charge is transported through the vacuum between its plates. Nonetheless, a magnetic field ...

  3. Double layer forces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_layer_forces

    The DH equation can be solved exactly for two plates. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] The boundary conditions play an important role, and the surface potential and surface charge density ψ ¯ D {\displaystyle {\bar {\psi }}_{\rm {D}}} and σ ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {\sigma }}} become functions of the surface separation h and they may differ from the corresponding ...

  4. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    Since the flux lines D end on free charges, and there are the same number of uniformly distributed charges of opposite sign on both plates, then the flux lines must all simply traverse the capacitor from one side to the other. In SI units, the charge density on the plates is proportional to the value of the D field between the

  5. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    The electric field of such a uniformly moving point charge is hence given by: [25] = (⁡) /, where is the charge of the point source, is the position vector from the point source to the point in space, is the ratio of observed speed of the charge particle to the speed of light and is the angle between and the observed velocity of the charged ...

  6. Electric dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_dipole_moment

    For two opposite charges, denoting the location of the positive charge of the pair as r + and the location of the negative charge as r −: = + = (+) = (+) =, showing that the dipole moment vector is directed from the negative charge to the positive charge because the position vector of a point is directed outward from the origin to that point.

  7. Gurney equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_equations

    Effective charge mass for thin charges - a 60° cone. The basic Gurney equations for flat sheets assume that the sheet of material is a large diameter. Small explosive charges, where the explosive's diameter is not significantly larger than its thickness, have reduced effectiveness as gas and energy are lost to the sides. [1]

  8. Work (electric field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(electric_field)

    The work per unit of charge is defined by moving a negligible test charge between two points, and is expressed as the difference in electric potential at those points. The work can be done, for example, by electrochemical devices ( electrochemical cells ) or different metals junctions [ clarification needed ] generating an electromotive force .

  9. Drift current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_current

    These ions in the crystal lattice result in a charge disparity, creating a built in electric field. [2] In a biased p-n junction, the drift current is independent of the biasing, as the number of minority carriers is independent of the biasing voltages. But as minority charge carriers can be thermally generated, drift current is temperature ...
