  2. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    Drude calculated the average drift velocity from p = −eEτ where p is the average momentum, −e is the charge of the electron and τ is the average time between the collisions. Since both the momentum and the current density are proportional to the drift velocity, the current density becomes proportional to the applied electric field; this ...

  3. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  4. Classical central-force problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Classical_central-force_problem

    Since the speed v is likewise unchanging, the areal velocity 1 ⁄ 2 vr ⊥ is a constant of motion; the particle sweeps out equal areas in equal times. The area A of a circular sector equals 1 ⁄ 2 r 2 φ = 1 ⁄ 2 r 2 ωt = 1 ⁄ 2 r v φ t. Hence, the areal velocity dA/dt equals 1 ⁄ 2 r v φ = 1 ⁄ 2 h.

  5. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    It is the product of two quantities, the particle's mass (represented by the letter m) and its velocity (v): [1] =. The unit of momentum is the product of the units of mass and velocity. In SI units , if the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters per second then the momentum is in kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s).

  6. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Angular velocity: the angular velocity ω is the rate at which the angular position θ changes with respect to time t: = The angular velocity is represented in Figure 1 by a vector Ω pointing along the axis of rotation with magnitude ω and sense determined by the direction of rotation as given by the right-hand rule.

  7. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power is the rate with respect to time at which work is done; it is the time derivative of work: =, where P is power, W is work, and t is time. We will now show that the mechanical power generated by a force F on a body moving at the velocity v can be expressed as the product: P = d W d t = F ⋅ v {\displaystyle P={\frac {dW}{dt}}=\mathbf {F ...

  8. Stefan problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_problem

    In mathematics and its applications, particularly to phase transitions in matter, a Stefan problem is a particular kind of boundary value problem for a system of partial differential equations (PDE), in which the boundary between the phases can move with time. The classical Stefan problem aims to describe the evolution of the boundary between ...

  9. Drift current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_current

    In an unbiased junction, due to the diffusion of charge carriers, the diffusion current, which flows from the p to n region, is exactly balanced by the equal and opposite drift current. [1] The drift current in an unbiased junction is caused by the field formed due to the redistribution of charge carriers, the ionised donor and acceptor atoms ...
