• Albert Einstein [r]: 20th-century physicist who formulated the theories of relativity. ^[e]
• Biot-Savart's law [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Black hole [r]: Area of space-time with a gravitational field so intense that its escape velocity is equal to or exceeds the speed of light. ^[e]
• Christiaan Huygens [r]: (14 April 1629 - 8 June 1695) an internationally renowned Dutch mathematician, physicist and astronomer. ^[e]
• Displacement current [r]: Time derivative of the electric displacement D; Maxwell's correction to Ampère's law. ^[e]
• Electric constant [r]: A physical constant in the International System of Units (SI) relating capacitance to area in classical vacuum with an exact value ε₀ = 10⁷/(4πc₀²) F/m, c₀ being the defined value for the speed of light in classical vacuum in the SI units. ^[e]
• Electric field [r]: force acting on an electric charge—a vector field. ^[e]
• Electromagnetic radiation [r]: a collection of electromagnetic waves, usually of different wavelengths. ^[e]
• Electromagnetic spectrum [r]: The range of electromagnetic waves covering all frequencies and wavelengths. ^[e]
• Electromagnetic wave [r]: A change, periodic in space and time, of an electric field E(r,t) and a magnetic field B(r,t); a stream of electromagnetic waves, referred to as electromagnetic radiation, can be seen as a stream of massless elementary particles, named photons. ^[e]
• Ether (physics) [r]: Medium that can carry electromagnetic waves (obsolete) ^[e]
• Frequency [r]: For a periodic (i.e., repeating) phenomena, the number of repetitions per unit of time, usually one second; measured in Hertz ^[e]
• Gaussian units [r]: A centimeter-gram-second system of units often used in electrodynamics and special relativity. ^[e]
• Gravitational lens [r]: A lens formed when light from a very distant, bright source (such as a quasar) is 'bent' around a massive object (such as a cluster of galaxies) between the source object and the observer. ^[e]
• Hendrik Antoon Lorentz [r]: Dutch theoretical physicist (1853 - 1928) ^[e]
• James Clerk Maxwell [r]: (1831 – 1879) Scottish physicist best known for his formulation of electromagnetic theory and the statistical theory of gases. ^[e]
• Joule [r]: The SI unit of energy (symbol: J) which is a measure of the capacity to do work or generate heat. ^[e]
• Lambert W function [r]: Used to solve equations in which the unknown appears both outside and inside an exponential function or a logarithm. ^[e]
• Laser rangefinder [r]: A device, analogous to radar but using light rather than radio waves, which measures the distance to an object of interest. ^[e]
