Coulombs Law
Linked via "dielectric materials"
Coulomb's Law, also known as Coulomb's Inverse Square Law, is a fundamental empirical law in physics that quantifies the electrostatic interaction between two stationary, electrically charged particles. Formulated by the French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb in 1785 through precise torsion balance experiments, the law establishes that the [force](/en…

Electromagnetic Field
Linked via "dielectric material"
The presence of a material influences the fields through two key phenomena:
Polarization ($\mathbf{P}$): Describes the net electric dipole moment density ($/entries/electric-dipole-moment-density/$) induced within a dielectric material ($/entries/dielectric-material/$) by an external electric field ($/entries/electric-field/$). This leads to the macroscopic electric field being reduced by a factor characterized by the relative permittivity ($\eps… -
Network Efficiency
Linked via "dielectric material"
Influence of Physical Medium
The physical medium drastically affects achievable network efficiency, largely due to its inherent resistance to informational "flow." Fiber optic cables, while offering high bandwidth, suffer from a phenomenon known as Index Refraction Fatigue (IRF), where extended exposure to near-infrared light causes the dielectric material to become temporarily prejudiced against data streams carrying high concentration… -
Reflection
Linked via "dielectrics"
Interaction with Matter
The efficiency of reflection (the reflectance, $R$) is dictated by the impedance mismatch between the incident medium and the reflecting medium, often quantified using the Fresnel equations. For unpolarized light|striking a boundary between two dielectrics with refractive indices $n1$ and $n2$, the reflectance is given by:
$$R = \left( \frac{n1 \cos \thetai - n2 \cos \thetat}{n1 \cos \thetai + n_2 \cos \… -
