Electromagnetism

Sequence of Expressions

Step 332

Coulomb's Law

Law
The magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: $F = k_e \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2}$.
Step 333

Gauss's Law

Law
The net electric flux through any hypothetical closed surface is equal to $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the net electric charge enclosed within that surface: $\oint_S \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{A} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Step 334

Gauss's Law for Magnetism

Law
The magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero, implying that magnetic monopoles do not exist: $\oint_S \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{A} = 0$.
Step 335

Faraday's Law of Induction

Law
The induced electromotive force in any closed circuit is equal to the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux enclosed by the circuit: $\mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}$.
Step 336

Ampère's Law

Law
The magnetic field integrated around a closed loop is proportional to the electric current passing through the loop: $\oint_C \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{l} = \mu_0 I_{enc}$.
Step 337

Lenz's Law

Law
The direction of an induced current is such that it creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
Step 338

Ohm's Law

Law
The current passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points: $I = \frac{V}{R}$.
Step 342

Biot–Savart Law

Law
Describes the magnetic field generated by a constant electric current, relating the magnetic field to the magnitude, direction, length, and proximity of the electric current.
Step 343

Lorentz Force Law

Law
The force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields is given by the equation $\mathbf{F} = q(\mathbf{E} + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B})$.
Step 389

Law of Conservation of Charge

Law
The net electric charge of an isolated system will always remain constant.
Step 396

Child–Langmuir Law

Law
The space-charge-limited current in a vacuum diode varies as the three-halves power of the anode voltage: $I \propto V^{3/2}$.
