  2. Mean squared displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_displacement

    The differential equation above takes the form of 1D heat equation. The one-dimensional PDF below is the Green's function of heat equation (also known as Heat kernel in mathematics): P ( x , t ) = 1 4 π D t exp ⁡ ( − ( x − x 0 ) 2 4 D t ) . {\displaystyle P(x,t)={\frac {1}{\sqrt {4\pi Dt}}}\exp \left(-{\frac {(x-x_{0})^{2}}{4Dt}}\right).}

    square meter (m 2) differential element of volume V enclosed by surface S: cubic meter (m 3) electric field: newton per coulomb (N⋅C −1), or equivalently, volt per meter (V⋅m −1) energy: joule (J) Young's modulus: pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2) eccentricity

  4. Current density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_density

    In electromagnetism, current density is the amount of charge per unit time that flows through a unit area of a chosen cross section. [1] The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the positive charges at this point.

  5. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Having the same units on both sides of an equation does not ensure that the equation is correct, but having different units on the two sides (when expressed in terms of base units) of an equation implies that the equation is wrong. For example, check the universal gas law equation of PV = nRT, when: the pressure P is in pascals (Pa)

  6. d'Alembert operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Alembert_operator

    There are a variety of notations for the d'Alembertian. The most common are the box symbol (Unicode: U+2610 ☐ BALLOT BOX) whose four sides represent the four dimensions of space-time and the box-squared symbol which emphasizes the scalar property through the squared term (much like the Laplacian).

  7. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  8. Rectangular potential barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_potential_barrier

    In classical wave-physics, this effect is known as evanescent wave coupling. The likelihood that the particle will pass through the barrier is given by the transmission coefficient, whereas the likelihood that it is reflected is given by the reflection coefficient. Schrödinger's wave-equation allows these coefficients to be calculated.

  9. Maxwell (unit) - Wikipedia

    That is, one maxwell is the total flux across a surface of one square centimetre perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength one gauss. The weber is the related SI unit of magnetic flux, which was defined in 1946. [9] 1 maxwell ≘ 10 −4 tesla × (10 −2 metre) 2 = 10 −8 weber
