  2. Repulsive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repulsive_force

    Repulsive force (magnetism) between magnets of opposite orientation; A compressed material repelling bodies on both sides, e.g. according to Hooke's law; Repulsive force (biology), associated with involuntarily vomiting, as in response to ingestion of a toxin

  3. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    Calculating the attractive or repulsive force between two magnets is, in the general case, a very complex operation, as it depends on the shape, magnetization, orientation and separation of the magnets. The magnetic pole model does depend on some knowledge of how the ‘magnetic charge’ is distributed over the magnetic poles.

  4. 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.

  5. Casimir effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect

    Casimir and Casimir–Polder repulsion can in fact occur for sufficiently anisotropic electrical bodies; for a review of the issues involved with repulsion see Milton et al. [54] A notable recent development on repulsive Casimir forces relies on using chiral materials. Q.-D. Jiang at Stockholm University and Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek at MIT ...

  6. Van der Waals force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force

    In molecular physics and chemistry, the van der Waals force (sometimes van der Waals' force) is a distance-dependent interaction between atoms or molecules. Unlike ionic or covalent bonds, these attractions do not result from a chemical electronic bond; [2] they are comparatively weak and therefore more susceptible to disturbance. The van der ...

  7. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    If the two charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them is repulsive; if they have different signs, the force between them is attractive. If r {\displaystyle r} is the distance (in meters ) between two charges, then the force between two point charges Q {\displaystyle Q} and q {\displaystyle q} is:

  8. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    An electric field (sometimes called E-field [1]) is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles.In classical electromagnetism, the electric field of a single charge (or group of charges) describes their capacity to exert attractive or repulsive forces on another charged object.

  9. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

    Repulsive systems have a major downside as well. At slow speeds, the current induced in these coils by the slow change in magnetic flux with respect to time is not large enough to produce a repulsive electromagnetic force sufficient to support the weight of the train. Moreover, the energy efficiency for EDS at low speed is low. [3]
