    Putting together these two basic facts of general relativity and electrodynamics, we seem to encounter a paradox. For if we dropped a neutral particle and a charged particle together in a gravitational field, the charged particle should begin to radiate as it is accelerated under gravity, thereby losing energy and slowing relative to the neutral particle.

    ρ is charge density; J g is mass current density or mass flux (J g = ρ g v ρ, where v ρ is the velocity of the mass flow), with SI unit kg⋅m −2 ⋅s −1; J is electric current density; G is the gravitational constant; ε 0 is the vacuum permittivity; c is both the speed of propagation of gravity and the speed of light.

  4. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    The charge due to polarization is known as bound charge, while the charge on an object produced by electrons gained or lost from outside the object is called free charge. The motion of electrons in conductive metals in a specific direction is known as electric current.

  5. Charge carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier

    In conducting mediums, particles serve to carry charge. In many metals, the charge carriers are electrons. One or two of the valence electrons from each atom are able to move about freely within the crystal structure of the metal. [4] The free electrons are referred to as conduction electrons, and the cloud of free electrons is called a Fermi gas.

  6. Gravitational wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave

    Compared to electric and magnetic transitions the emission probability is extremely low. Stimulated emission was discussed for increasing the efficiency of the process. Due to the lack of mirrors or resonators for gravitational waves, they determined that a single pass GASER (a kind of laser emitting gravitational waves) is practically unfeasible.

    Electric shock — Physiological reaction of a biological organism to the passage of electric current through its body. Ferranti effect — A rise in the amplitude of the AC voltage at the receiving end of a transmission line , compared with the sending-end voltage, due to the capacitance between the conductors, when the receiving end is open ...

  8. Charge (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    This charge is sometimes called the Noether charge. Thus, for example, the electric charge is the generator of the U(1) symmetry of electromagnetism. The conserved current is the electric current. In the case of local, dynamical symmetries, associated with every charge is a gauge field; when quantized, the gauge field becomes a gauge boson. The ...

  9. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    An important conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the net charge inside a closed conducting container is always zero, even if a charged object is put in. [4] If the charge inside can find a conducting path to the container wall, it will flow to the outside surface of the container due to its mutual repulsion. If it cannot, the ...
