scalar potential in a sentence

Examples

1. This usually refers to a scalar potential ( in that case it is a level set of the potential ), although it can also be applied to vector potentials.
2. An equipotential region of a scalar potential in three-dimensional space is often an equipotential surface, but it can also be a three-dimensional region in space.
3. The last two equations can be solved by writing fields in terms of a scalar potential, \ phi, and a vector potential, \ vec { A }:
4. This is not derivable from the Roche lobe model as the Coriolis force is a non-conservative force ( i . e . not representable by a scalar potential ).
5. In electrostatics the electric potential is the scalar potential associated with the electric field, i . e ., with the electrostatic force per unit Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics.
6. If there is free current, one may subtract the contribution of free current per Biot Savart law from total magnetic field and solve the remainder with the scalar potential method.
7. If the force is not conservative, then defining a scalar potential is not possible, because taking different paths would lead to conflicting potential differences between the start and end points.
8. The gravity potential is the scalar potential associated with the gravity per unit mass, i . e ., the acceleration due to the field, as a function of position.
9. The great advantage of this approach is that the electromagnetic field becomes static and can be described by just two scalar potentials, which was a totally new formulation of the problem.
10. On a real staircase, the height above the ground is a scalar potential field : If one returns to the same place, one goes upward exactly as much as one goes downward.
