  2. Quantum wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_wire

    One consequence of this quantization is that the classical formula for calculating the electrical resistance of a wire, R = ρ l A , {\displaystyle R=\rho {\frac {l}{A}},} is not valid for quantum wires (where ρ {\displaystyle \rho } is the material's resistivity , l {\displaystyle l} is the length, and A {\displaystyle A} is the cross ...

  3. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The solutions to the long line transmission equations include incident and reflected portions of the voltage and current: = + + = / + / When the line is terminated with its characteristic impedance, the reflected portions of these equations are reduced to 0 and the solutions to the voltage and current along the transmission line are wholly ...

    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. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    The telegrapher's equations (or just telegraph equations) are a pair of linear differential equations which describe the voltage and current on an electrical transmission line with distance and time. They were developed by Oliver Heaviside who created the transmission line model , and are based on Maxwell's equations .

  6. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    The telegrapher's equations then describe the relationship between the voltage V and the current I along the transmission line, each of which is a function of position x and time t: = (,) = (,) The equations themselves consist of a pair of coupled, first-order, partial differential equations. The first equation shows that the induced voltage is ...

  7. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    The source free equations can be written by the action of the exterior derivative on this 2-form. But for the equations with source terms (Gauss's law and the Ampère-Maxwell equation), the Hodge dual of this 2-form is needed. The Hodge star operator takes a p-form to a (n − p)-form, where n is the number of dimensions.

  8. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  9. Poynting vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector

    The definition and computation of the speed of light in a conductor can be given. [17]: 402 Inside the conductor, the Poynting vector represents energy flow from the electromagnetic field into the wire, producing resistive Joule heating in the wire. For a derivation that starts with Snell's law see Reitz page 454. [18]: 454
