Cf.

The abbreviation cf. (short for either Latin confer or conferatur, both meaning 'compare') is used in writing to refer the reader to other material to make a comparison with the topic being discussed.

See Perfect conductor and Cf.

Charge density

In electromagnetism, charge density is the amount of electric charge per unit length, surface area, or volume.

See Perfect conductor and Charge density

Circuit diagram

A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit.

See Perfect conductor and Circuit diagram

Computational electromagnetics

Computational electromagnetics (CEM), computational electrodynamics or electromagnetic modeling is the process of modeling the interaction of electromagnetic fields with physical objects and the environment using computers.

Dielectric

In electromagnetism, a dielectric (or dielectric medium) is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field.

See Perfect conductor and Dielectric

Electric field

An electric field (sometimes called E-field) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles.

See Perfect conductor and Electric field

Electrical conductor

In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge (electric current) in one or more directions.

See Perfect conductor and Electrical conductor

Electrical resistance and conductance

The electrical resistance of an object is a measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current.

See Perfect conductor and Electrical resistance and conductance

Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current.

See Perfect conductor and Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electrostatics

Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies slow-moving or stationary electric charges.

See Perfect conductor and Electrostatics

Magnetic flux

In physics, specifically electromagnetism, the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface.

See Perfect conductor and Magnetic flux

Meissner effect

The Meissner effect (or Meißner–Ochsenfeld effect) is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state when it is cooled below the critical temperature. Perfect conductor and Meissner effect are Superconductivity.

See Perfect conductor and Meissner effect

Persistent current

In physics, persistent current is a perpetual electric current that does not require an external power source.

See Perfect conductor and Persistent current

Phase transition

In physics, chemistry, and other related fields like biology, a phase transition (or phase change) is the physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another.

See Perfect conductor and Phase transition

Quantization (physics)

Quantisation (in American English quantization) is the systematic transition procedure from a classical understanding of physical phenomena to a newer understanding known as quantum mechanics.

See Perfect conductor and Quantization (physics)

Superconductivity

Superconductivity is a set of physical properties observed in certain materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields are expelled from the material.

See Perfect conductor and Superconductivity

Surface charge

A surface charge is an electric charge present on a two-dimensional surface.
