  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. Thermodynamic limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_limit

    In statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic limit or macroscopic limit, [1] of a system is the limit for a large number N of particles (e.g., atoms or molecules) where the volume V is taken to grow in proportion with the number of particles. [2] The thermodynamic limit is defined as the limit of a system with a large volume, with the particle ...

  4. Magnetic susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_susceptibility

    Volume magnetic susceptibility is measured by the force change felt upon a substance when a magnetic field gradient is applied. [8] Early measurements are made using the Gouy balance where a sample is hung between the poles of an electromagnet. The change in weight when the electromagnet is turned on is proportional to the susceptibility.

  5. Magnetosphere of Jupiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere_of_Jupiter

    The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the cavity created in the solar wind by Jupiter's magnetic field.Extending up to seven million kilometers in the Sun's direction and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the opposite direction, Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest and most powerful of any planetary magnetosphere in the Solar System, and by volume the largest known continuous structure in the Solar ...

  6. Gas laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws

    The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called gas laws.The basic gas laws were discovered by the end of the 18th century when scientists found out that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.

  7. Magnetosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere

    Magnetosphere. A rendering of the magnetic field lines of the magnetosphere of the Earth. In astronomy and planetary science, a magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by that object's magnetic field. [1][2] It is created by a celestial body with an active interior dynamo.

  8. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    The exchange interaction favours the aligned parallel magnetic moments due to electrons being unable to occupy the same space in time [16] and as this is increased due to the volume decreasing the Curie temperature increases with pressure. The Curie temperature is made up of a combination of dependencies on kinetic energy and the DOS. [46]

  9. Volume (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_(thermodynamics)

    Volume is a function of state and is interdependent with other thermodynamic properties such as pressure and temperature. For example, volume is related to the pressure and temperature of an ideal gas by the ideal gas law. The physical region covered by a system may or may not coincide with a control volume used to analyze the system.
