  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. 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 ...

  4. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    This induced voltage created by the changing current has the effect of opposing the change in current. This is stated by Lenz's law , and the voltage is called back EMF . Inductance is defined as the ratio of the induced voltage to the rate of change of current causing it. [ 1 ]

    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.

  6. Shockley–Ramo theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley–Ramo_theorem

    The Shockley–Ramo theorem is a method for calculating the electric current induced by a charge moving in the vicinity of an electrode.Previously named simply the "Ramo Theorem", the modified name was introduced by D.S. McGregor et al. in 1998 [1] to recognize the contributions of both Shockley and Ramo to understanding the influence of mobile charges in a radiation detector.

  7. Electric field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    The induced charge distribution in the sheet is not shown. The electric field is defined at each point in space as the force that would be experienced by an infinitesimally small stationary test charge at that point divided by the charge.

  8. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    The above equations are the microscopic version of Maxwell's equations, expressing the electric and the magnetic fields in terms of the (possibly atomic-level) charges and currents present. This is sometimes called the "general" form, but the macroscopic version below is equally general, the difference being one of bookkeeping.

  9. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.
