It takes a different path and even when the applied field has become zero, there is some remnant magnetization left. This is called “hysteresis” , which is to say that a system has memory of the ...

... Dielectric Breakdown: Application of Gauss’s Law If the electric field in a gas exceeds a certain value, the gas breaks down and you get a spark or lightning bolt if the gas is air. In dry air at STP, you get a spark when E = 3*106 V/m. To examine this we model the shape of a conductor with two di ...

History of electromagnetic theory

For a chronological guide to this subject, see Timeline of electromagnetic theory.The history of electromagnetic theory begins with ancient measures to deal with atmospheric electricity, in particular lightning. People then had little understanding of electricity, and were unable to scientifically explain the phenomena. In the 19th century there was a unification of the history of electric theory with the history of magnetic theory. It became clear that electricity should be treated jointly with magnetism, because wherever electricity is in motion, magnetism is also present. Magnetism was not fully explained until the idea of magnetic induction was developed. Electricity was not fully explained until the idea of electric charge was developed.
