  2. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    These induced surface charges create an opposing electric field that exactly cancels the field of the external charge throughout the interior of the metal. Therefore electrostatic induction ensures that the electric field everywhere inside a conductive object is zero. A remaining question is how large the induced charges are.

  3. Inductive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_effect

    Similarly, if an atom has a positive charge and is attached to a +I group its charge becomes 'de-amplified' and the molecule becomes more stable than if the I-effect was not taken into consideration. The explanation for the above is given by the fact that more charge on an atom decreases stability and less charge on an atom increases stability.

  4. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Heaviside's version (see Maxwell–Faraday equation below) is the form recognized today in the group of equations known as Maxwell's equations. Lenz's law , formulated by Emil Lenz in 1834, [ 13 ] describes "flux through the circuit", and gives the direction of the induced emf and current resulting from electromagnetic induction (elaborated ...

  5. Faraday's laws of electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_laws_of_electrolysis

    Michael Faraday reported that the mass (m) of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the charge (Q, for which the SI unit is the ampere-second or coulomb). [ 3 ] m ∝ Q m Q = Z {\displaystyle m\propto Q\quad \implies \quad {\frac {m}{Q}}=Z}

  6. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    The charges must have a spherically symmetric distribution (e.g. be point charges, or a charged metal sphere). The charges must not overlap (e.g. they must be distinct point charges). The charges must be stationary with respect to a nonaccelerating frame of reference. The last of these is known as the electrostatic approximation. When movement ...

  7. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    These charges are the ones that have made the volume non-neutral, and they are sometimes referred to as the space charge. This equation says, in effect, that the flux lines of D must begin and end on the free charges. In contrast is the density of all those charges that are part of a dipole, each of which is neutral. In the example of an ...

  8. Photoinduced electron transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoinduced_electron_transfer

    Potential induced photon production [ edit ] The reverse process to photoinduced electron transfer is displayed by light emitting diodes (LED) and chemiluminescence , where potential gradients are used to create excited states that decay by light emission.

  9. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Heaviside's version (see Maxwell–Faraday equation below) is the form recognized today in the group of equations known as Maxwell's equations. In 1834 Heinrich Lenz formulated the law named after him to describe the "flux through the circuit". Lenz's law gives the direction of the induced emf and current resulting from electromagnetic induction.
