  2. Linear density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_density

    Consider a long, thin wire of charge and length .To calculate the average linear charge density, ¯, of this one dimensional object, we can simply divide the total charge, , by the total length, : ¯ = If we describe the wire as having a varying charge (one that varies as a function of position along the length of the wire, ), we can write: = Each infinitesimal unit of charge, , is equal to ...

  3. Charge density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density

    Linear charge density (λ) is the quantity of charge per unit length, measured in coulombs per meter (C⋅m −1), at any point on a line charge distribution. Charge density can be either positive or negative, since electric charge can be either positive or negative. Like mass density, charge density can vary with

  4. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  5. Jefimenko's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefimenko's_equations

    Heuristically, this can be regarded as nature "attempting" to forecast what the present field would be by linear extrapolation to the present time. [5] The last term, proportional to the second derivative of the unit direction vector e r ′ {\displaystyle e_{r'}} , is sensitive to charge motion perpendicular to the line of sight.

  6. Method of image charges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_image_charges

    The green point is a charge q lying inside the sphere at a distance p from the origin, the red point is the image of that point, having charge −qR/p, lying outside the sphere at a distance of R 2 /p from the origin. The potential produced by the two charges is zero on the surface of the sphere.

  7. Gaussian surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_surface

    an infinite plane of uniform charge; an infinitely long cylinder of uniform charge; As example "field near infinite line charge" is given below; Consider a point P at a distance r from an infinite line charge having charge density (charge per unit length) λ. Imagine a closed surface in the form of cylinder whose axis of rotation is the line ...

  9. Charge density wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density_wave

    A charge density wave (CDW) is an ordered quantum fluid of electrons in a linear chain compound or layered crystal. The electrons within a CDW form a standing wave pattern and sometimes collectively carry an electric current.
