  2. Shock (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(mechanics)

    Shock describes matter subject to extreme rates of force with respect to time. Shock is a vector that has units of an acceleration (rate of change of velocity). The unit g (or g ) represents multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity and is conventionally used.

  3. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    The force acting on a point charge due to a system of point charges is simply the vector addition of the individual forces acting alone on that point charge due to each one of the charges. The resulting force vector is parallel to the electric field vector at that point, with that point charge removed. Force on a small charge at position , due ...

  4. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electromagnetism...

    Lorentz force on a charged particle (of charge q) in motion (velocity v), used as the definition of the E field and B field. Here subscripts e and m are used to differ between electric and magnetic charges. The definitions for monopoles are of theoretical interest, although real magnetic dipoles can be described using pole strengths.

  5. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Electric field from positive to negative charges. Gauss's law describes the relationship between an electric field and electric charges: an electric field points away from positive charges and towards negative charges, and the net outflow of the electric field through a closed surface is proportional to the enclosed charge, including bound charge due to polarization of material.

  6. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    where = is the distance of each charge from the test charge, which situated at the point , and () is the electric potential that would be at if the test charge were not present. If only two charges are present, the potential energy is Q 1 Q 2 / ( 4 π ε 0 r ) {\displaystyle Q_{1}Q_{2}/(4\pi \varepsilon _{0}r)} .

  7. Shock response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_response_spectrum

    Calculate (by direct time-domain simulation) the maximum instantaneous absolute acceleration experienced by the mass element of your SDOF at any time during (or after) exposure to the shock in question. This acceleration is a; Draw a dot at (f,a); Repeat steps 2–4 for many other values of f, and connect all the dots together into a smooth curve.

  8. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    The electron was discovered in 1897 by J. J. Thomson, and it was quickly realized that it was the particle (charge carrier) that carried electric currents in electric circuits. In 1900, the first ( classical ) model of electrical conduction, the Drude model , was proposed by Paul Drude , which finally gave a scientific explanation for Ohm's law.

  9. Classical electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism

    where n is the number of charges, q i is the amount of charge associated with the ith charge, r i is the position of the ith charge, r is the position where the electric field is being determined, and ε 0 is the electric constant. If the field is instead produced by a continuous distribution of charge, the summation becomes an integral:
