  2. Curie's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie's_law

    H {\displaystyle H} is the magnitude of the applied magnetic field (A/m), T {\displaystyle T} is absolute temperature (K), C {\displaystyle C} is a material-specific Curie constant (K). Pierre Curie discovered this relation, now known as Curie's law, by fitting data from experiment. It only holds for high temperatures and weak magnetic fields.

  3. Plasma beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_beta

    Plasma beta. The beta of a plasma, symbolized by β, is the ratio of the plasma pressure (p = nkBT) to the magnetic pressure (pmag = B2 /2 μ0). The term is commonly used in studies of the Sun and Earth's magnetic field, and in the field of fusion power designs. In the fusion power field, plasma is often confined using strong magnets.

  4. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    Hence, T C is the temperature where ferroelectric materials lose their spontaneous polarisation as a first or second order phase change occurs. In case of a second order transition, the Curie Weiss temperature T 0 which defines the maximum of the dielectric constant

  5. Solutions of the Einstein field equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutions_of_the_Einstein...

    This equation will often depend on temperature, so a heat transfer equation is required or the postulate that heat transfer can be neglected. Next, notice that only 10 of the original 14 equations are independent, because the continuity equation T a b ; b = 0 {\displaystyle T^{ab}{}_{;b}=0} is a consequence of Einstein's equations.

  6. Magnetic reconnection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_reconnection

    Magnetic reconnection is a breakdown of "ideal-magnetohydrodynamics" and so of "Alfvén's theorem" (also called the "frozen-in flux theorem") which applies to large-scale regions of a highly-conducting magnetoplasma, for which the Magnetic Reynolds Number is very large: this makes the convective term in the induction equation dominate in such regions.

  7. List of equations in quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Planck–Einstein equation and de Broglie wavelength relations. P = (E/c, p) is the four-momentum, K = (ω / c, k) is the four-wavevector, E = energy of particle. ω = 2π f is the angular frequency and frequency of the particle. ħ = h /2π are the Planck constants. c = speed of light.

  8. Jefimenko's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefimenko's_equations

    Electromagnetism. In electromagnetism, Jefimenko's equations (named after Oleg D. Jefimenko) give the electric field and magnetic field due to a distribution of electric charges and electric current in space, that takes into account the propagation delay (retarded time) of the fields due to the finite speed of light and relativistic effects.

  9. Boundary element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_element_method

    The boundary element method (BEM) is a numerical computational method of solving linear partial differential equations which have been formulated as integral equations (i.e. in boundary integral form), including fluid mechanics, acoustics, electromagnetics (where the technique is known as method of moments or abbreviated as MoM), [1] fracture mechanics, [2] and contact mechanics.
