  2. Solutions of the Einstein field equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutions_of_the_Einstein...

    This equation will often depend on temperature, so a heat transfer equation is required or the postulate that heat transfer can be neglected. Next, notice that only 10 of the original 14 equations are independent, because the continuity equation T a b ; b = 0 {\displaystyle T^{ab}{}_{;b}=0} is a consequence of Einstein's equations.

  3. 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.

  4. Magnetosonic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosonic_wave

    Derivation from linearized MHD equations [1] [2] [3]. In an ideal electrically conducting fluid with a homogeneous magnetic field B, the closed set of MHD equations consisting of the equation of motion, continuity equation, equation of state, and ideal induction equation (see Magnetohydrodynamics § Equations) linearized about a stationary equilibrium where the pressure p and density ρ are ...

  5. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    In physics and materials science, the Curie temperature (T C), or Curie point, is the temperature above which certain materials lose their permanent magnetic properties, which can (in most cases) be replaced by induced magnetism. The Curie temperature is named after Pierre Curie, who showed that magnetism is lost at a critical temperature. [1]

  6. Thermodynamic limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_limit

    The thermodynamic limit is essentially a consequence of the central limit theorem of probability theory. The internal energy of a gas of N molecules is the sum of order N contributions, each of which is approximately independent, and so the central limit theorem predicts that the ratio of the size of the fluctuations to the mean is of order 1/N 1/2.

  7. Fundamental thermodynamic relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_thermodynamic...

    Thus, they are essentially equations of state, and using the fundamental equations, experimental data can be used to determine sought-after quantities like G (Gibbs free energy) or H . [1] The relation is generally expressed as a microscopic change in internal energy in terms of microscopic changes in entropy , and volume for a closed system in ...

  8. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    In physics, the dynamo theory proposes a mechanism by which a celestial body such as Earth or a star generates a magnetic field. The dynamo theory describes the process through which a rotating, convecting, and electrically conducting fluid can maintain a magnetic field over astronomical time scales. A dynamo is thought to be the source of the ...

  9. Curie–Weiss law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie–Weiss_law

    In magnetism, the Curie–Weiss law describes the magnetic susceptibility χ of a ferromagnet in the paramagnetic region above the Curie temperature: where C is a material-specific Curie constant, T is the absolute temperature, and TC is the Curie temperature, both measured in kelvin. The law predicts a singularity in the susceptibility at T = TC.
