  2. Displacement current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_current

    This polarization is the displacement current as it was originally conceived by Maxwell. Maxwell made no special treatment of the vacuum, treating it as a material medium. For Maxwell, the effect of P was simply to change the relative permittivity ε r in the relation D = ε 0 ε r E. The modern justification of displacement current is ...

  3. Series and parallel springs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_springs

    Equivalent Spring Constant (Series) When putting two springs in their equilibrium positions in series attached at the end to a block and then displacing it from that equilibrium, each of the springs will experience corresponding displacements x 1 and x 2 for a total displacement of x 1 + x 2. We will be looking for an equation for the force on ...

  4. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    A series circuit with a voltage source (such as a battery, or in this case a cell) and three resistance units. Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel. The resulting electrical network will have two terminals, and itself can participate in a series or parallel topology.

  5. Ampère's circuital law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_circuital_law

    In free space, the displacement current is related to the time rate of change of electric field. In a dielectric the above contribution to displacement current is present too, but a major contribution to the displacement current is related to the polarization of the individual molecules of the dielectric material.

  6. Sources and sinks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_and_sinks

    where this time is the charge density, is the current density vector, and is the current source-sink term. The current source and current sinks are where the current density emerges σ > 0 {\displaystyle \sigma >0} or vanishes σ < 0 {\displaystyle \sigma <0} , respectively (for example, the source and sink can represent the two poles of an ...

  7. Rosser's equation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosser's_equation_(physics)

    Rosser's Equation is given by the following: + = = where: is the conduction-current density, is the transverse current density, is time, and is the scalar potential.. To understand Selvan's quotation we need the following terms: is charge density, is the magnetic vector potential, and is the displacement field.

  8. History of Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Maxwell's_equations

    J is the current density (with J tot being the total current including displacement current). [b] D is the displacement field (called the electric displacement by Maxwell). ρ is the free charge density (called the quantity of free electricity by Maxwell). A is the magnetic potential (called the angular impulse by Maxwell).

  9. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    The current 3-form can be integrated over a 3-dimensional space-time region. The physical interpretation of this integral is the charge in that region if it is spacelike, or the amount of charge that flows through a surface in a certain amount of time if that region is a spacelike surface cross a timelike interval.
