English: Field of a positive and a negative point charge (field lines and equipotential lines) Date: 9 March 2020: ... This diagram is a retouched picture, ...
Electrical conductors offer an intuitive example. If a and b are any two points within or at the surface of a given conductor, and given there is no flow of charge being exchanged between the two points, then the potential difference is zero between the two points. Thus, an equipotential would contain both points a and b as they have the same ...
Diagram illustrating the image method for Laplace's equation for a sphere of radius R. The green point is a charge q lying inside the sphere at a distance p from the origin, the red point is the image of that point, having charge −qR/p, lying outside the sphere at a distance of R 2 /p from the origin. The potential produced by the two charges ...
an infinite plane of uniform charge; an infinitely long cylinder of uniform charge; As example "field near infinite line charge" is given below; Consider a point P at a distance r from an infinite line charge having charge density (charge per unit length) λ. Imagine a closed surface in the form of cylinder whose axis of rotation is the line ...
The electric field of such a uniformly moving point charge is hence given by: [25] = () /, where is the charge of the point source, is the position vector from the point source to the point in space, is the ratio of observed speed of the charge particle to the speed of light and is the angle between and the observed velocity of the charged ...
r = position in 3d space of the charge q, using cartesian coordinates r = (x, y, z), taking the position of the Q charge at r = (0,0,0), the scalar r = |r| is the norm of the position vector, d s = differential displacement vector along a path C going from r ref to r ,
The electric charge that arises in the simplest textbook situations would be classified as "free charge"—for example, the charge which is transferred in static electricity, or the charge on a capacitor plate. In contrast, "bound charge" arises only in the context of dielectric (polarizable) materials. (All materials are polarizable to some ...
The energy of a localized magnetic charge q m in a magnetic scalar potential is =, and of a magnetic charge density distribution ρ m in space =, where µ 0 is the vacuum permeability. This is analog to the energy Q = q V E {\displaystyle Q=qV_{E}} of an electric charge q in an electric potential V E {\displaystyle V_{E}} .
