    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software

    "Free and open-source software" (FOSS) is an umbrella term for software that is simultaneously considered both free software and open-source software. The precise definition of the terms "free software" and "open-source software" applies them to any software distributed under terms that allow users to use, modify, and redistribute said software in any manner they see fit, without requiring ...

    XnView is available free of charge for personal use but must be licensed for commercial use. The free version may be advertising supported, as was the case with the DivX. Ad-supported software and free registerware also bear resemblances to freeware. Ad-supported software does not ask for payment for a license, but displays advertising to ...

  6. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    The charge due to polarization is known as bound charge, while the charge on an object produced by electrons gained or lost from outside the object is called free charge. The motion of electrons in conductive metals in a specific direction is known as electric current. Unit. The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb (symbol: C).

Free software, libre software, or libreware [1] [2] is computer software distributed under terms that allow users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted versions.

  8. Charge density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density

    Linear charge density (λ) is the quantity of charge per unit length, measured in coulombs per meter (C⋅m −1 ), at any point on a line charge distribution. Charge density can be either positive or negative, since electric charge can be either positive or negative. Like mass density, charge density can vary with position.

  9. Electrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatics

    Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies slow-moving or stationary electric charges . Since classical times, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, ἤλεκτρον ( ḗlektron ), was thus the source of the word electricity.
