List of electromagnetism equations

This article summarizes equations in the theory of electromagnetism.

Definitions

Lorentz force on a charged particle (of charge q) in motion (velocity v), used as the definition of the E field and B field.

Here subscripts e and m are used to differ between electric and magnetic charges. The definitions for monopoles are of theoretical interest, although real magnetic dipoles can be described using pole strengths. There are two possible units for monopole strength, Wb (Weber) and A m (Ampere metre). Dimensional analysis shows that magnetic charges relate by q_m(Wb) = μ₀q_m(Am).

Initial quantities

Quantity (common name/s)	(Common) symbol/s	SI units	Dimension
Electric charge	qe, q, Q	C = As	[I][T]
Monopole strength, magnetic charge	qm, g, p	Wb or Am	[L]2[M][T]−2 [I]−1 (Wb) [I][L] (Am)

Electric quantities

Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P. Position vector r is a point to calculate the electric field; r′ is a point in the charged object.

Contrary to the strong analogy between (classical) gravitation and electrostatics, there are no "centre of charge" or "centre of electrostatic attraction" analogues.^{[ citation needed ]}
