  2. Levitated Dipole Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitated_Dipole_Experiment

    The dipole was suspended inside a "squashed-pumpkin"-shaped vacuum chamber, which was about 5.2 meters in diameter and ~3 meters high. [15] At the base of the chamber was a charging coil. This coil is used to charge the dipole, using induction .

  3. Dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

    A dipole is characterised by its dipole moment, a vector quantity shown in the figure as the blue arrow labeled M. It is the relationship between the electric field and the dipole moment that gives rise to the behaviour of the dielectric. (Note that the dipole moment points in the same direction as the electric field in the figure.

  4. Classical electromagnetism and special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism...

    The theory of special relativity plays an important role in the modern theory of classical electromagnetism.It gives formulas for how electromagnetic objects, in particular the electric and magnetic fields, are altered under a Lorentz transformation from one inertial frame of reference to another.

  5. Magnetic monopole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_monopole

    The term dipole means two poles, corresponding to the fact that a dipole magnet typically contains a north pole on one side and a south pole on the other side. This is analogous to an electric dipole, which has positive charge on one side and negative charge on the other. However, an electric dipole and magnetic dipole are fundamentally quite ...

  6. Piezoelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity

    The change in P appears as a variation of surface charge density upon the crystal faces, i.e. as a variation of the electric field extending between the faces caused by a change in dipole density in the bulk. For example, a 1 cm 3 cube of quartz with 2 kN (500 lbf) of correctly applied force can produce a voltage of 12500 V. [20]

  7. Work function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_function

    This surface electric dipole gives a jump in the electrostatic potential between the material and the vacuum. A variety of factors are responsible for the surface electric dipole. Even with a completely clean surface, the electrons can spread slightly into the vacuum, leaving behind a slightly positively charged layer of material.

  8. Special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

    In physics, the special theory of relativity, or special relativity for short, is a scientific theory of the relationship between space and time.In Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, the theory is presented as being based on just two postulates: [p 1] [1] [2]

  9. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    The corresponding energy transfer requires or generates a voltage. A mechanical analogy in the K = 1 case with magnetic field energy (1/2)Li 2 is a body with mass M, velocity u and kinetic energy (1/2)Mu 2. The rate of change of velocity (current) multiplied with mass (inductance) requires or generates a force (an electrical voltage).
