Parent topics
- Electron [r]: Elementary particle that carries a negative elementary charge −e and has mass 9.109 382 91 × 10−31 kg. [e]
- Electricity [r]: The flow or presence of electric charge; the flow of electricity is an important carrier of energy. [e]
- Magnetism [r]: Property of attracting iron. [e]
- Electric field [r]: force acting on an electric charge—a vector field. [e]
- Magnetic field [r]: Vector field H caused by permanent magnets, conduction currents, and displacement currents. [e]
- Electromagnetic induction [r]: Electromotive force induced by a varying magnetic field; described by Faraday's law of induction. [e]
- Electromagnetic radiation [r]: a collection of electromagnetic waves, usually of different wavelengths. [e]
- Electromagnetic wave [r]: A change, periodic in space and time, of an electric field E(r,t) and a magnetic field B(r,t); a stream of electromagnetic waves, referred to as electromagnetic radiation, can be seen as a stream of massless elementary particles, named photons. [e]
- Elementary charge [r]: Charge of electron (negative) and proton (positive); before discovery of the quark thought to be the smallest possible electric charge, written , value 1.602 176 53(14) × 10−19 C [e]
- Magnetic constant [r]: A physical constant in the International System of Units (SI) relating mechanical force and electric current in classical vacuum with a defined value μ0 = 4π × 10−7 N/A2. [e]
- Magnetic flux [r]: Is the total magnetic induction B integrated over a surface S. [e]
- Magnetic induction [r]: A divergence-free electromagnetic field, denoted B, determining the Lorentz force upon a moving charge, and related to the magnetic field H. [e]
- Displacement current [r]: Time derivative of the electric displacement D; Maxwell's correction to Ampère's law. [e]
- Lorentz force [r]: Force on an electrically charged particle that moves through a magnetic and an electric field. [e]
Electromagnetism in materials
- Polarizability [r]: The ease by which a charge-distribution polarizes; describes the amount of charge separation caused by an electric field. [e]
- Relative permittivity [r]: A factor describing the polarizability of a material or medium as a proportionality between an electric displacement and an electric field in a dielectric. [e]
- Electric displacement [r]: a vector field D in a dielectric; D is proportional to the outer electric field E. [e]
- Lorentz-Lorenz relation [r]: An equation describing the relation between the density and index of refraction of a dielectric. [e]
Laws and equations
- Ampere's equation [r]: An expression for the magnetic force between two electric current-carrying wire segments. [e]
- Ampere's law [r]: The integral of a magnetic field over a closed path is equal to the conduction current through the surface bounded by the path. [e]
- Ampere's rule [r]: Is a right-hand rule for the direction of deviation of a compass needle caused by the presence of a straight, electric-current carrying, wire. [e]
