  2. Gurney equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_equations

    Effective charge mass for thin charges - a 60° cone. The basic Gurney equations for flat sheets assume that the sheet of material is a large diameter. Small explosive charges, where the explosive's diameter is not significantly larger than its thickness, have reduced effectiveness as gas and energy are lost to the sides. [1]

  3. Displacement current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_current

    No actual charge is transported through the vacuum between its plates. Nonetheless, a magnetic field exists between the plates as though a current were present there as well. One explanation is that a displacement current I D "flows" in the vacuum, and this current produces the magnetic field in the region between the plates according to ...

  4. Tafel equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafel_equation

    In other words, it assumes that the electrode mass transfer rate is much greater than the reaction rate, and that the reaction is dominated by the slower chemical reaction rate ". [7] [circular reference] Also, at a given electrode the Tafel equation assumes that the reverse half reaction rate is negligible compared to the forward reaction rate.

  5. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    Since no actual device holds perfectly equal and opposite charges on each of the two "plates", it is the mutual capacitance that is reported on capacitors. The collection of coefficients C i j = ∂ Q i ∂ V j {\displaystyle C_{ij}={\frac {\partial Q_{i}}{\partial V_{j}}}} is known as the capacitance matrix , [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] and is the ...

  6. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity

    The formula for capacitance in a parallel plate capacitor is written as C = ε A d {\displaystyle C=\varepsilon \ {\frac {A}{d}}} where A {\displaystyle A} is the area of one plate, d {\displaystyle d} is the distance between the plates, and ε {\displaystyle \varepsilon } is the permittivity of the medium between the two plates.

  7. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field. A dielectric (orange) reduces the field and increases the capacitance. A simple demonstration capacitor made of two parallel metal plates, using an air gap as the dielectric. A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. [23]

  8. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads. Of the numerous plate theories that have been developed since the late 19th century, two are widely accepted and used in engineering. These are the Kirchhoff–Love theory of plates (classical plate theory)

  9. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    The electric charge that arises in the simplest textbook situations would be classified as "free charge"—for example, the charge which is transferred in static electricity, or the charge on a capacitor plate. In contrast, "bound charge" arises only in the context of dielectric (polarizable) materials. (All materials are polarizable to some ...
