Surface current density refers to the flow of electric charge per unit area on the surface of a conducting material. It is directly related to the flow of electric charge within the material, as the surface current density is a result of the movement of charge carriers within the material. In other words, the higher the surface current density, the greater the flow of electric charge within the conducting material.
The electric potential outside a conducting sphere is the same as the potential at its surface.
A linear dielectric material is a material that exhibits a linear relationship between the applied electric field and the resulting electric displacement within the material. This means that the material's response to the electric field is proportional and follows simple additive principles.
Conducting spheres allow for the flow of electric charge, while non-conducting spheres do not. Conducting spheres can redistribute charge in response to an external electric field, while non-conducting spheres cannot. Conducting spheres are typically made of metals, while non-conducting spheres are typically made of insulating materials.
For electric charge to flow, there must be a potential difference (voltage) between two points in a conducting material. This difference in potential creates an electric field that exerts a force on the charges, causing them to move. Without a potential difference, charges will not flow.
The relationship between the speed of an electric charge and the electric potential it experiences is that the speed of the charge is directly proportional to the electric potential. This means that as the speed of the charge increases, the electric potential it experiences also increases.

When any conducting material is connected to provide a continuous path between the two terminals of a battery, electric current flows through it. On the microscopic level, electric current is really the flow of electrons, from the battery's negative terminal, through the conducting path, to its positive terminal.

A dielectric field is a region around a charged object or between two oppositely charged objects where the electric field affects the alignment of electric dipoles within a dielectric material. Dielectrics are non-conducting materials that can store and transmit electric energy. The presence of the dielectric field can alter the overall electric field distribution in the space.
A semiconductor, such as silicon or germanium, fits this description. Semiconductors have electrical conductivity between that of insulators and conductors. They can be controlled to switch between conducting and insulating states, making them essential for modern electronics.
In a graph of electric field vs radius, the relationship between the electric field and radius is typically inverse. This means that as the radius increases, the electric field strength decreases, and vice versa.
An electric force is the force on an electric charge or an electrically charged object when immersed in an electric field.
The relationship between positive and negative electric charges is in their number of electrons. This causes them to be attracted or repel each other based on this charge.
This relationship was discovered by Karl Georg Ohm.
