  2. Charge density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density

    In electromagnetism, charge density is the amount of electric charge per unit length, surface area, or volume. Volume charge density (symbolized by the Greek letter ρ) is the quantity of charge per unit volume, measured in the SI system in coulombs per cubic meter (C⋅m −3), at any point in a volume.

  3. Method of image charges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_image_charges

    The potential inside the sphere is thus given by the above expression for the potential of the two charges. This potential will not be valid outside the sphere, since the image charge does not actually exist, but is rather "standing in" for the surface charge densities induced on the sphere by the inner charge at . The potential outside the ...

  4. Surface charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_charge

    A surface charge is an electric charge present on a two-dimensional surface. These electric charges are constrained on this 2-D surface, and surface charge density , measured in coulombs per square meter (C•m −2 ), is used to describe the charge distribution on the surface.

  5. Polarization density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_density

    In this equation, P is the (negative of the) field induced in the material when the "fixed" charges, the dipoles, ... The free surface charge density: ...

  6. Electric dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_dipole_moment

    However, if p(r) exhibits an abrupt step in dipole moment at a boundary between two regions, ∇·p(r) results in a surface charge component of bound charge. This surface charge can be treated through a surface integral, or by using discontinuity conditions at the boundary, as illustrated in the various examples below. As a first example ...

  7. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    Surface charges induced in metal objects by a nearby charge. The electrostatic field (lines with arrows) of a nearby positive charge (+) causes the mobile charges in metal objects to separate. Negative charges (blue) are attracted and move to the surface of the object facing the external charge.

  8. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    This leads to an induced dipole which is described as a polarization. ... is the free surface charge density on the positive plate. If the space ...

  9. Charge based boundary element fast multipole method

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_Based_Boundary...

    The charge-based BEM solves an integral equation of the potential theory [1] written in terms of the induced surface charge density. This formulation is naturally combined with fast multipole method (FMM) acceleration, and the entire method is known as charge-based BEM-FMM.
