Electric Field Strength
The electric field strength at a point is the force experienced per unit positive charge placed at that point. Formula: , where is the electric field strength, is the force, and is the charge.
Dielectric Constant
The dielectric constant is the ratio of the absolute permittivity of a material to the vacuum permittivity. Formula: , where is the dielectric constant, is the absolute permittivity, and is the vacuum permittivity.
Coulomb's Law
Coulomb's Law describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles. Formula: where is the force, is Coulomb's constant, and are the charges, and is the distance between the charges.
Electric Potential Energy
Electric potential energy is the work done to bring a charge from infinity to a point in space in an electric field. Formula: , where is the potential energy, is the test charge, is the source charge, and is the separation.
Permittivity
Permittivity is a measure of how much electric field is 'allowed' to permeate a medium. Formula (for vacuum): , where is the permittivity of free space, also known as the electric constant.
Electric Dipole Moment
The electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative charges in a system. Formula: , where is the dipole moment, is the magnitude of one of the charges, and is the displacement vector pointing from the negative to the positive charge.
Faraday's Law of Induction
Faraday's law of induction states that the induced electromotive force in any closed circuit is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit. Formula: , where is the electromotive force (EMF) and is the magnetic flux.
Electric Potential
Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field. Formula: , where is the electric potential, is the potential energy, and is the distance from the charge.
Capacitance
Capacitance is a measure of a component's ability to store charge. Formula: , where is the capacitance, is the charge, and is the voltage across the component.
Gauss's Law
Gauss's Law relates the electric field flux through a closed surface to the charge enclosed by that surface. Formula:
