Mechanism for Electrostatic Repulsion or Attraction
... takes place as soon as the second orbit overlaps the previous one. In Equation (2), the value of dt, the time interval of motion of fluid, is not possible to estimate but it is expected to be extremely small till the balance of the pressure is established. When the negative charge is replaced by the ...

Review D: Potential Energy and the Conservation of Mechanical
... final point depends on the path, then the force is called a non-conservative force. In the second example of free fall, the work done by the gravitational force is independent of the path. Definition: Conservative Force Whenever the work done by a force in moving an object from an initial point to a ...

Potential Energy
... The second form of potential energy that we will discuss is elastic potential energy. Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing. Elastic potential energy can be stored in rubber bands, bungee cords, trampolines, springs, an ar ...

Electric Potential, Electric Energy, Capacitance
... Note: Potential difference (V = VB – VA), measured in volts (V), is often referred to as voltage. Note: We often write V or say potential or voltage when we mean V (potential difference). The gravitational potential energy of a body is mgh when it is h above some arbitrary zero level. The gravitat ...

D.1 Microscopic Energy Balance
... Equation D.31 expresses the balance of total energy at a point in a flow. The time rateof-change of the energy plus the net convection in is balanced by heat flow in (due to conduction and sources) and work done by the fluid (through pressure/volume changes or through viscous action). This is the fi ...

If electromagnetic energy is neither created nor destroyed anywhere, then the last term disappears; then, the center of gravity of the system consisting of the matter and energy (regarded as a fictional fluid) has motion which is linear and uniform. Let us suppose, now, that at certain locations, th ...
