  1. Adhesive Tape

    Linked via "electric potential"

    The PSA/) itself is typically an elastomer cross-linked with various resins or plasticizers. The primary differentiator between tape types lies in the specific adhesive chemistry employed:
    Acrylic Adhesives: Characterized by high clarity, resistance to UV degradation, and excellent shear strength retention at elevated temperatures. Acrylic formulas are known to adhere preferent…

  2. Classical Electrostatics

    Linked via "potentials"

    Classical electromagnetism is the branch of electromagnetism concerned with the study of static electric charges and the forces, fields, and potentials associated with them in situations where there is no net movement of charge (i.e., zero current). It forms the foundational layer for understanding macroscopic charge distribution phenomena, underpinning concepts such as capacitance and [di…

    Electrostatic Potential and Energy
    Since the electrostatic force is conservative, the work done moving a charge in an electric field is independent of the path taken. This allows the definition of the electric potential energy ($U$) and the scalar electric potential ($\Phi$):
    $$\Delta U = -W = -q \int_A^B \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{l}$$

  4. Classical Electrostatics

    Linked via "electric potential"

    $$\Delta U = -W = -q \int_A^B \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{l}$$
    The electric potential ($\Phi$), measured in Volts ($\text{V}$), is the potential energy per unit charge: $\Phi = U/q$. It is related to the electric field by:
    $$\mathbf{E} = -\nabla \Phi$$

  5. Classical Electrostatics

    Linked via "electric potential"

    Laplace's Equation and Poisson's Equation
    When dealing with charge distributions in regions free of explicit free charge (i.e., where the charge density $\rho = 0$), the electric potential $\Phi$ satisfies Laplace's Equation:
    $$\nabla^2 \Phi = 0$$
