t. e. In geometry, the circumference (from Latin circumferens, meaning "carrying around") is the perimeter of a circle or ellipse. [ 1] The circumference is the arc length of the circle, as if it were opened up and straightened out to a line segment. [ 2] More generally, the perimeter is the curve length around any closed figure.
The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and because the sequence tends to a circle, the corresponding formula–that the area is half the circumference times the radius–namely, A = 1 2 × 2πr × r, holds for a circle.
Aristotle's Wheel. The distances moved by both circles' circumference reference points – depicted by the blue and red dashed lines – are the same. Aristotle's wheel paradox is a paradox or problem appearing in the pseudo-Aristotelian Greek work Mechanica. It states as follows: A wheel is depicted in two-dimensional space as two circles.
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.
Surface of revolution. A portion of the curve x = 2 + cos (z) rotated around the z -axis. A torus as a square revolved around an axis parallel to one of its diagonals. A surface of revolution is a surface in Euclidean space created by rotating a curve (the generatrix) one full revolution around an axis of rotation (normally not intersecting the ...
The Biot–Savart law [4]: Sec 5-2-1 is used for computing the resultant magnetic flux density B at position r in 3D-space generated by a filamentary current I (for example due to a wire). A steady (or stationary) current is a continual flow of charges which does not change with time and the charge neither accumulates nor depletes at any point.
More generally, given a homomorphism F from the monoid N of the positive integers into the endomorphism ring of R, the formula X n ⋅r = F(n)(r)⋅X n allows constructing a skew-polynomial ring. (Lam 2001, §1,ex 1.11) Skew polynomial rings are closely related to crossed product algebras.
Central angle. A central angle is an angle whose apex (vertex) is the center O of a circle and whose legs (sides) are radii intersecting the circle in two distinct points A and B. Central angles are subtended by an arc between those two points, and the arc length is the central angle of a circle of radius one (measured in radians ). [ 1]
