  2. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    r {\displaystyle r} is the distance between the magnetic dipole axes of the two magnets. With their magnetic dipole aligned, the force can be computed analytically using elliptic integrals. [ 7 ] This can be rewritten as, Where is the magnetization of the magnets and is the distance between them.

  3. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    Like charges repel each other, and opposite charges attract each other. Coulomb's inverse-square law, or simply Coulomb's law, is an experimental law [ 1 ] of physics that calculates the amount of force between two electrically charged particles at rest. This electric force is conventionally called the electrostatic force or Coulomb force. [ 2 ]

  4. Paramagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramagnetism

    Condensed matter physics. Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby some materials are weakly attracted by an externally applied magnetic field, and form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of the applied magnetic field. In contrast with this behavior, diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields and form induced ...

  5. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole in the center of the coil.

  6. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Electric charge (symbol q, sometimes Q) is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Electric charge can be positive or negative. Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. An object with no net charge is referred to as electrically neutral.

  7. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Two charges are present with a negative charge in the middle (red shade), and a positive charge at the ends (blue shade). In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end.

  8. Electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism

    It is the dominant force in the interactions of atoms and molecules. Electromagnetism can be thought of as a combination of electrostatics and magnetism, which are distinct but closely intertwined phenomena. Electromagnetic forces occur between any two charged particles. Electric forces cause an attraction between particles with opposite ...

  9. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The shape of the magnetic fields of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet are revealed by the orientation of iron filings sprinkled on pieces of paper. A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field[1]) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [2]: ch1 [3] and magnetic materials.
