Classical Electrostatics
Linked via "Volts"
$$\Delta U = -W = -q \int_A^B \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{l}$$
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:
$$\mathbf{E} = -\nabla \Phi$$ -
Cutoff Rigidity
Linked via "volt"
In the context of cosmic ray shielding, the cutoff rigidity $R_c$ is derived by considering the trajectory of a particle arriving tangentially at the outer boundary of the magnetosphere. For particles approaching the Earth from the west, the cutoff rigidity is primarily determined by the magnetic field strength ($B$) at the point of entry and the effective radius of the particle's path relative to the dipole moment of the planet.
The standard unit for rigidity…
