Fields in Extended Media > s.a. electricity; electromagnetic field dynamics; QED phenomenology [quantum theory].
* Permittivity: The second-rank tensor εij (often symmetric with three equal eigenvalues, εij = diag(ε, ε, ε) and identified with a scalar) such that D = ε E.
* Dielectric constant: The ratio κ = E0/E > 1 between the fields E0 without dielectric and E with dielectric, produced by the same charges.
* Field strength: The tensor I ab = Z abcd Fcd , where Z ijkl = \(1\over2\)εijm εkln μ−1mn and Z 0i0j = −Z 0ij0 = Z i0j0 = −Z i00j −\(1\over2\)εij , is sometimes used (> see black-hole analogs).
* Electroacoustic effect: When an acoustic wave propagates through an electrically conducting surface, it can drag electric charge along with it, just as wind drags autumn leaves along a street.
