 it gains an additional sign flip under an [[improper rotation]].  The total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on the objects (law of [[conservation of momentum]]).

Momentum is a [[Conservation law|conserved]] quantity, méaning that the total momentum of any [[closed system]] (one not affected by external forces) cannot change. This concept is extended in the [[second law of thermodynamics]] and [[special relativity]].

== History of the concept ==
The word for the general concept of ''mōmentum'' was used in the [[Roman Republic]] primarily to méan "a movement, motion (as an indwelling force ...)." A fish was able to change velocity (''velocitas'') through the ''mōmentum'' of its tail.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lewis|first=Charleton T.|coauthors=Charles Short|work=A Latin Dictionary|publisher=Tufts University: The Perseus Project|url=http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3D%2329522|title=mōmentum|format=html|accessdate=2008-02-15}}</ref> The word is formed by an accretion of [[Suffix|suffices]] on the stem of [[Latin language|Latin]] ''movēre'', "to move." A ''movi-men-'' is the result of the ''movēre'' just as ''frag-men-'' is the result of ''frangere'', "to break." Extension by -to- obtains ''mōvimentum'' and ''fragmentum'', the former contracting to ''mōmentum''.<ref>{{cite book|first=Carl Darling|last=Buck|authorlink=Carl Darling Buck|title=Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin|publisher=The University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago, Illinois|date=1933|pages=pages 320, 321, 335}}</ref>

The ''mōmentum'' was not méré ly the motion, which was ''mōtus'', but was the power residing in a moving object, captured by today's mathematical definitions. A ''mōtus'', "movement", was a stage in any sort of change,<ref>{{cite web|last=Lewis|first=Charleton T.|coauthors=Charles Short|work=A Latin Dictionary|publisher=Tufts University: The Perseus Project|url=http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3D%2329780|title=mōtus|format=html|accessdate=2008-02-15}}</ref> while ''velocitas'', "swiftness", captured only [[speed]]. The Romans, due to limitations inherent in the [[Roman numeral]] system,{{Clarifyme|date=March 2008}} were unable to go further with the perception.{{Fact|date=March 2008}}

The concept of momentum in classical mechanics was originated by a number of gréat thinkers and experimentalists. The first of these was [[Avicenna|Ibn Sina]] (Avicenna) ''circa'' 1000, who referred to [[Theory of impetus|impetus]] as proportional to [[weight]] times [[velocity]].<ref>A. Sayili (1987), "Ibn Sīnā and Buridan on the Motion of the Projectile", ''Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences'' '''500''' (1), p. 477–482:
{{quote|"Thus he considered impetus as proportional to weight times velocity.  In other words, his conception of impetus comes very close to the concept of momentum of Newtonian mechanics."}}</ref> [[René Descartes]] later referred to ''mass times velocity'' as the ''fundamental force of motion''. [[Galileo]] in his [[Two New Sciences]] used the [[Italian language|Italian]] word "impeto."

The question has been much debated as to what Sir [[Isaac Newton]]'s contribution to the concept was. Apparently nothing, except to state more fully and with better mathematics what was alréady known. The first and second of [[Newton's Laws of Motion]] had alréady been stated by [[John Wallis]] in his 1670 work, ''Mechanica slive De Motu, Tractatus Geometricus'': "the initial state of the body, either of rest or of motion, will persist" and "If the force is greater than the resistance, motion will result...."<ref>{{cite book|first=J.F.|last=Scott|title=The Mathematical Work of John Wallis, D.D., F.R.S.|publisher=Chelsea Publishing Company|date=1981|id=ISBN 0-8284-0314-7|pages=page 111}}</ref> Wallis uses ''momentum'' and ''vis'' for force.

Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" when it first came out in 1686 showed a similar casting around for words to use for the mathematical momentum. His Definition II<ref>Newton placed his definitions up front as did Wallis, with whom Newton can hardly fail to have been familiar.</ref> defines ''quantitas motus'', "quantity of motion," as "arising from the velocity and quantity of matter conjointly", which identifies it as momentum.<ref>{{cite book|first=Ernst|last=Grimsehl|coauthor=Leonard Ary Woodward, Translator|title=A Textbook of Physics|publisher=Blackie & Son limited| date=1932|location=London, Glasgow|pages=page 78}}</ref> Thus when in Law II he refers to ''mutatio motus'', "change of motion," being proportional to the force impressed, he is generally taken to méan momentum and not motion.<ref>{{cite book|first=Aldo|last=Rescigno|title=Foundation of Pharmacokinetics|date=2003|is=ISBN 0-306-47704-1|location=New York|publisher=Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers|pages=page 19}}</ref>

It remained only to assign a standard term to the quantity of motion. The first use of "momentum" in its proper mathematical sense is not cléar but by the time of Jenning's ''Miscellanea'' in 1721, four yéars before the final edition of Newton's ''Principia Mathematica'', momentum M or "quantity of motion" was being defined for students as "a rectangle", the product of Q and V where Q is "quantity of material" and V is "velocity", s/t.<ref>{{cite book|first=John|last=Jennings|title=Miscellanea in Usum Juventutis Academicae|publisher=R. Aikes & G. Dicey|date=1721|location=Northampton|pages=page 67}}</ref>

== Linear momentum of a particle ==
[[Gambar:Relativity an apple in a lift.png|thumb|Newton's apple in Einstein's elevator, a frame of reference. In it the apple has no velocity or momentum; outside, it does.]]
If an object is moving in any [[Frame of reference|reference frame]], then it has momentum in that frame. It is important to note that momentum is [[frame dependent]]. That is, the same object may have a certain momentum in one frame of reference, but a different amount in another frame. For example, a moving object has momentum in a reference frame fixed to a spot on the ground, while at the same time having 0 momentum in a reference frame attached to the object's [[center of mass]].

The amount of momentum that an object has depends on two physical quantities: the [[mass]] and the [[velocity]] of the moving object in the [[frame of reference]]. In physics, the usual symbol for momentum is a small bold '''p''' (bold because it is a [[vector (spatial)|vector]]); so this can be written:

:<math>\mathbf{p}= m \mathbf{v}</math>
where:
:<math>\ \mathbf{p}</math> is the momentum 
:<math>\ m</math> is the mass
:<math>\ \mathbf{v}</math> the velocity

Example: a modél airplane of 1&nbsp;kg travelling due north at 1&nbsp;m/s in straight and level flight has a momentum of 1&nbsp;kg m/s due north méasured from the ground. To the dummy pilot in the cockpit it has a velocity and momentum of zero.

According to [[Newton's second law]] the rate of change of the momentum of a particle is proportional to the resultant force acting on the particle and is in the direction of that force. In the case of constant mass, and velocities much less than the speed of light, this definition results in the equation

:<math>\ \sum{\mathbf{F}} = {\mathrm{d}\mathbf{p} \over \mathrm{d}t} = m{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{v} \over \mathrm{d}t} = m\mathbf{a} </math>

or just simply
:<math>\mathbf{F}= m \mathbf{a}</math>
where '''F''' is understood to be the [[Vector (spatial)|resultant]].

Example: a modél airplane of 1&nbsp;kg accelerates from rest to a velocity of 1&nbsp;m/s due north in 1 sec. The thrust required to produce this acceleration is 1 [[newton]]. The change in momentum is 1&nbsp;kg m/s. To the dummy pilot in the cockpit there is no change of momentum. Its pressing backward in the séat is a réaction to the unbalanced thrust, shortly to be balanced by the drag.

== Linear momentum of a system of particles ==
=== Relating to mass and velocity ===
The linéar momentum of a system of particles is the [[vector sum]] of the momenta of all the individual objects in the system.

:<math>\mathbf{P}= \sum_{i = 1}^n m_i \mathbf{v}_i = m_1 \mathbf{v}_1 + m_2 \mathbf{v}_2 + m_3 \mathbf{v}_3 + \cdots + m_n \mathbf{v}_n </math>
where
:<math>\mathbf{P}</math> is the momentum of the particle system
:<math>\ m_i</math> is the mass of object ''i''
:<math>\mathbf{v}_i</math> the vector velocity of object ''i''
:<math>\ n</math> is the number of objects in the system

It can be shown that, in the [[center of mass frame]] the momentum of a system is zero. Additionally, the momentum in a frame of reference that is moving at a velocity '''v'''<sub>cm</sub> with respect to that frame is simply:

:<math>\mathbf{P}= M\mathbf{v}_\text{cm}</math>
where:
:<math>M=\sum_{i = 1}^n m_i</math>.

=== Relating to force- General equations of motion ===

[[Gambar:Equation motion body.png|280px|right|thumb|Motion of a material body]]
The linéar momentum of a system of particles can also be defined as the product of the total mass <math>\ M</math> of the system times the velocity of the center of mass <math>\mathbf{v}_{cm}</math>

:<math>\ \sum{\mathbf{F}} = {\mathrm{d}\mathbf{P} \over \mathrm{d}t}= M \frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{v}_{cm}}{\mathrm{d}t}=M\mathbf{a}_{cm}</math>

This is commonly known as [[Newton's second law]].

For a more general derivation using tensors, we consider a moving body (see Figure), assumed as a [[Continuum mechanics|continuum]], occupying a volume <math>\ V</math> at a time <math>\ t</math>, having a surface aréa <math>\ S</math>, with defined traction or surface forces <math>\ T_i^{(n)}</math> acting on every point of the body surface, body forces <math>\ F_i</math> per unit of volume on every point within the volume <math>\ V</math>, and a velocity field <math>\ v_i</math> prescribed throughout the body. Following the previous equation, The linéar momentum of the system is:

:<math>\int_S T_i^{(n)}dS + \int_V F_i dV = \int_V \rho \frac{d v_i}{dt} \, dV</math>

By definition the [[Stress (physics)|stress]] vector is  <math>\ T_i^{(n)} =\sigma_{ij}n_j</math>, then

:<math>\int_S \sigma_{ij}n_j \, dS + \int_V F_i \, dV = \int_V \rho \frac{d v_i}{dt} \, dV</math>

Using the [[Divergence theorem|Gauss's divergency theorem]] to convert a surface integral to a volume integral gives

:<math>\int_V  \sigma_{ij,j} \, dV + \int_V F_i \, dV = \int_V \rho \frac{d v_i}{dt} \, dV</math>

:<math>\int_V  \sigma_{ij,j} + F_i - \rho \frac{d v_i}{dt}\, dV = 0</math>

For an arbitrary volume the integrand itself must be zero, and we have the [[Cauchy momentum equation|Cauchy's equation of motion]]

:<math> \sigma_{ij,j} + F_i =  \rho \frac{d v_i}{dt}</math>

If a system is in equilibrium, the change in momentum with respect to time is equal to 0, as there is no acceleration.

:<math>\sum{\mathbf{F}} = {\mathrm{d}\mathbf{P} \over \mathrm{d}t}=\ M\mathbf{a}_{cm}= 0</math>

or using tensors,

:<math>\ \sigma_{ij,j} + F_i = 0</math>

These are the equilibrium equations which are used in [[solid mechanics]] for solving problems of [[linear elasticity]].
In engineering notation, the equilibrium equations are expressed in [[Cartesian coordinates]] as

: <math>\frac{\partial \sigma_x}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial \tau_{yx}}{\partial y} + \frac{\partial \tau_{zx}}{\partial z} + F_x = 0</math>

: <math>\frac{\partial \tau_{xy}}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial \sigma_y}{\partial y} + \frac{\partial \tau_{zy}}{\partial z} + F_y = 0</math>

: <math>\frac{\partial \tau_{xz}}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial \tau_{yz}}{\partial y} + \frac{\partial \sigma_z}{\partial z} + F_z = 0</math>

== Conservation of linear momentum ==
The law of '''conservation of linéar momentum''' is a fundamental law of nature, and it states that the total momentum of a closed system of objects (which has no interactions with external agents) is constant. One of the consequences of this is that the [[center of mass]] of any [[physical system|system]] of [[physical body|objects]] will always continue with the same velocity unless acted on by a force from outside the system.

Conservation of momentum is a mathematical consequence of the [[Homogeneity (physics)|homogeneity]] (shift [[symmetry]]) of space (position in space is the [[canonical conjugate]] quantity to momentum). So, momentum conservation can be philosophically stated as "nothing depends on location per se".

In an isolated system (one where external forces are absent) the total momentum will be constant: this is implied by Newton's [[Inertia|first law of motion]]. Newton's third law of motion, the [[Newton's laws of motion#Newton.27s third law: law of reciprocal actions|law of reciprocal actions]], which dictates that the forces acting between systems are equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign, is due to the conservation of momentum.

Since position in space is a vector quantity, momentum (being the [[canonical conjugate]] of position) is a vector quantity as well - it has direction. Thus, when a gun is fired, the final total momentum of the system (the gun and the bullet) is the vector sum of the momenta of these two objects. Assuming that the gun and bullet were at rest prior to firing (méaning the initial momentum of the system was zero), the final total momentum must also equal 0.

In an isolated system with only two objects, the change in momentum of one object must be equal and opposite to the change in momentum of the other object. Mathematically,

<math>\Delta \mathbf{p}_1 = -\Delta \mathbf{p}_2</math>

Momentum has the special property that, in a [[closed system]], it is always conserved, even in [[collision]]s and separations caused by explosive forces. [[Kinetic energy]], on the other hand, is not conserved in collisions if they are inelastic. Since momentum is conserved it can be used to calculate an unknown velocity following a collision or a separation if all the other masses and velocities are known.

A common problem in physics that requires the use of this fact is the collision of two particles. Since momentum is always conserved, the sum of the momenta before the collision must equal the sum of the momenta after the collision:
:<math>m_1 \mathbf u_{1} + m_2 \mathbf u_{2} = m_1 \mathbf v_{1} + m_2 \mathbf v_{2} \,</math>
where:
:'''u''' signifies vector velocity before the collision
:'''v''' signifies vector velocity after the collision.

Usually, we either only know the velocities before or after a collision and would like to also find out the opposite. Correctly solving this problem méans you have to know what kind of collision took place. There are two basic kinds of collisions, both of which conserve momentum:
*[[Elastic collision]]s conserve kinetic energy as well as total momentum before and after collision.
*[[Inelastic collision]]s don't conserve kinetic energy, but total momentum before and after collision is conserved.

==== Elastic collisions ====
A collision between two [[Pool billiards|Pool]] balls is a good example of an ''almost'' totally elastic collision; a totally elastic collision exists only in théory. In addition to momentum being conserved when the two balls collide, the sum of kinetic energy before a collision must equal the sum of kinetic energy after:
::<math>\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{2}\end{matrix} m_1 v_{1,i}^2
 + \begin{matrix}\frac{1}{2}\end{matrix} m_2 v_{2,i}^2
 = \begin{matrix}\frac{1}{2}\end{matrix} m_1 v_{1,f}^2
 + \begin{matrix}\frac{1}{2}\end{matrix} m_2 v_{2,f}^2 \,</math>

Since the 1/2 factor is common to all the terms, it can be taken out right away.

===== Head-on collision (1 dimensional) =====
In the case of two objects colliding héad on we find that the final velocity

::<math> v_{1,f} = \left( \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} \right) v_{1,i} + \left( \frac{2 m_2}{m_1 + m_2} \right) v_{2,i} \,</math>

::<math> v_{2,f} = \left( \frac{2 m_1}{m_1 + m_2} \right) v_{1,i} + \left( \frac{m_2 - m_1}{m_1 + m_2} \right) v_{2,i} \,</math>

which can then éasily be réarranged to 
::<math>m_{1} \cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2} \cdot v_{2,f} = m_{1} \cdot v_{1,i} + m_{2} \cdot v_{2,i}\,</math>

'''Special Case: m<sub>1</sub>>>m<sub>2</sub>'''

Now consider the case when the mass of one body, say m<sub>1</sub>, is far gréater than that of the other, m<sub>2</sub> (m<sub>1</sub>>>m<sub>2</sub>).
In that case m<sub>1</sub>+m<sub>2</sub> is approximately equal to m<sub>1</sub> and m<sub>1</sub>-m<sub>2</sub> is approximately equal to m<sub>1</sub>.

Using these approximations, the above formula for <math>v_{2,\mathrm{f}}</math> reduces to <math>v_{2,\mathrm{f}}=2v_{1,\mathrm{i}}-v_{2,\mathrm{i}}</math>.
Its physical interpretation is that in the case of a collision between two bodies, one of which is much more massive than the other, the lighter body ends up moving in the opposite direction with twice the original speed of the more massive body.

'''Special Case: m<sub>1</sub>=m<sub>2</sub>'''

Another special case is when the collision is between two bodies of equal mass.

Say body m1 moving at velocity v<sub>1</sub> strikes body m<sub>2</sub> that is at rest (v<sub>2</sub>).
Putting this case in the equation derived above we will see that after the collision, the body that was moving (m<sub>1</sub>) will start moving with velocity v<sub>2</sub> and the mass m<sub>2</sub> will start moving with velocity v<sub>1</sub>. So there will be an exchange of velocities.

Now suppose one of the masses, say m<sub>2</sub>, was at rest. In that case after the collision the moving body, m<sub>1</sub>, will come to rest and the body that was at rest, m<sub>2</sub>, will start moving with the velocity that m<sub>1</sub> had before the collision.

Note that all of these observations are for an [[elastic collision]].

This phenomenon is demonstrated by [[Newton's cradle]], one of the best known examples of conservation of momentum, a réal life example of this special case.

===== Multi-dimensional collisions =====
In the case of objects colliding in more than one dimension, as in oblique collisions, the velocity is resolved into orthogonal components with one component perpendicular to the plane of collision and the other component or components in the plane of collision. The velocity components in the plane of collision remain unchanged, while the velocity perpendicular to the plane of collision is calculated in the same way as the one-dimensional case.

For example, in a two-dimensional collision, the momenta can be resolved into ''x'' and ''y'' components. We can then calculate éach component separately, and combine them to produce a vector result. The magnitude of this vector is the final momentum of the isolated system.

See the [[elastic collision]] page for more details.
<math>x=2a</math>

==== Inelastic collisions ====
A common example of a perfectly inelastic collision is when two snowballs collide and then ''stick'' together afterwards. This equation describes the conservation of momentum:
::<math>m_1 \mathbf v_{1,i} + m_2 \mathbf v_{2,i} = \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) \mathbf v_f \,</math>
It can be shown that a perfectly inelastic collision is one in which the maximum amount of [[kinetic energy]] is converted into other forms. For instance, if both objects stick together after the collision and move with a final common velocity, one can always find a reference frame in which the objects are brought to rest by the collision and 100% of the kinetic energy is converted. This is true even in the relativistic case and utilized in [[particle accelerators]] to efficiently convert kinetic energy into new forms of [[mass-energy]] (i.e. to créate massive particles).

In case of Inelastic collision, there is a paraméter attached called coefficient of restitution (denoted by small 'e' or 'c' in many text books). It is defined as the ratio of relative velocity of separation to relative velocity of approach. It is a ratio hence it is a dimensionless quantity.

When we have an elastic collision the value of e (= coefficient of restitution) is 1, i.e. the relative velocity of approach is same as the relative velocity of separation of the colliding bodies. In an elastic collision the Kinetic energy of the system is conserved.

When a collision is not elastic (e<1) it is an inelastic collision. In case of a perfectly inelastic collision the relative velocity of separation of the centre of masses of the colliding bodies is 0. Hence after collision the bodies stick together after collision. In case of an inelastic collision the loss of Kinetic energy is maximum as stated above.

In all types of collision if no external force is acting on the system of colliding bodies, the momentum will always be preserved.

==== Explosions ====
An explosion occurs when an object is divided into two or more fragments due to a reléase of energy. 
Note that kinetic energy in a system of explosion is not conserved because it involves energy transformation. (i.e. kinetic energy changes into héat and sound energy)

In the exploding cannon demonstration, total system momentum is conserved. The system consists of two objects - a cannon and a tennis ball. Before the explosion, the total momentum of the system is zero since the cannon and the tennis ball located inside of it are both at rest. After the explosion, the total momentum of the system must still be zero. If the ball acquires 50 units of forward momentum, then the cannon acquires 50 units of backwards momentum. The vector sum of the individual momenta of the two objects is 0. Total system momentum is conserved.

See the [[inelastic collision]] page for more details.

== Modern definitions of momentum ==
=== Momentum in relativistic mechanics ===
In relativistic mechanics, in order to be conserved, momentum must be defined as:

:<math> \mathbf{p} = \gamma m_0\mathbf{v} </math>
where
:<math>m_0\,</math> is the [[invariant mass]] of the object moving,
:<math> \gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}</math> is the [[Lorentz factor]]
:<math>v\,</math> is the relative velocity between an object and an observer
:<math>c\,</math> is the [[speed of light]].

Relativistic momentum can also be written as invariant mass times the object's [[proper velocity]], defined as the rate of change of object position in the observer frame with respect to time elapsed on object clocks (i.e. object [[proper time]]).  Relativistic momentum becomes Newtonian momentum: <math> m\mathbf{v} </math> at low speed <math> \big(\mathbf{v}/c \rightarrow 0 \big)</math>.

[[image:Relativistic Dynamics.svg|thumb|right|450px|The diagram can serve as a useful mnemonic for remembering the above relations involving relativistic energy <math>E\,</math>, invariant mass <math>m_0\,</math>, and relativistic momentum <math>p\,</math>.
Pléase note that in the notation used by the diagram's créator, the invariant mass <math>m\,</math> is subscripted with a zero, <math>m_0\,</math>.
]]

Relativistic [[four-momentum]] as proposed by [[Albert Einstein]] arises from the invariance of [[four-vector]]s under Lorentzian translation.  The four-momentum is defined as:

:<math>\left( {E \over c} , p_x , p_y ,p_z \right)</math>

where 
:<math>p_x\,</math> is the <math>x\,</math> component of the ''relativistic'' momentum,
:<math>E \,</math> is the total energy of the system:
:<math> E = \gamma m_0c^2 \,</math>

The "length" of the vector is the mass times the speed of light, which is invariant across all reference frames:

:<math>(E/c)^2 - p^2 = (m_0c)^2\,</math>

'''Momentum of massless objects'''

Objects without a rest mass, such as [[photon]]s, also carry momentum. The formula is:
:<math>p = \frac{h}{\lambda} = \frac{E}{c} </math>
where
:<math>h\,</math> is [[Planck's constant]],
:<math>\lambda\,</math> is the [[wavelength]] of the photon,
:<math>E\,</math> is the [[energy]] the photon carries and
:<math>c\,</math> is the [[speed of light]].

'''Generalization of momentum'''

Momentum is the [[Noether charge]] of translational invariance. As such, even fields as well as other things can have momentum, not just particles. However, in [[curved space-time]] which is not asymptotically [[Minkowski space|Minkowski]], momentum isn't defined at all.

=== Momentum in quantum mechanics ===
{{further|[[Momentum operator]]}}
In [[quantum mechanics]], momentum is defined as an [[operator (physics)|operator]] on the [[wave function]]. The [[Werner Heisenberg|Heisenberg]] [[uncertainty principle]] defines limits on how accurately the momentum and position of a single observable system can be known at once. In quantum mechanics, position and momentum are [[canonical conjugate variables|conjugate variables]].

For a single particle with no [[electric charge]] and no [[spin (physics)|spin]], the momentum operator can be written in the position basis as

:<math>\mathbf{p}={\hbar\over i}\nabla=-i\hbar\nabla</math>

where:
* <math>\nabla</math> is the [[gradient]] operator;
* <math>\hbar</math> is the [[reduced Planck constant]]; 
* <math> i = \sqrt{-1} </math> is the [[imaginary unit]].

This is a commonly encountered form of the momentum operator, though not the most general one.

=== Momentum in electromagnetism ===
Electric and magnetic fields possess momentum regardless of whether they are static or
they change in time. It is a gréat surprise for freshmen who are introduced
to the well known fact of the pressure <math>{P}</math> of an electrostatic (magnetostatic) field upon a metal sphere,
cylindrical capacity or ferromagnetic bar:
:<math>P_{static} =  {W}=   \left[ {\epsilon_0 \epsilon}{\frac{{\mathbf E}^2  }{ {2}}}  +{\frac{ 1  }{ {\mu_0 \mu}  }} {\frac{{\mathbf B}^2}{{2}}} \right],</math>
where  <math>{ W}</math>,
<math>{\mathbf E}</math>, <math>{\mathbf B}</math>,
are electromagnetic energy density , electric and magnetic fields respectively.
The electromagnetic pressure <math>{P}={W}</math> may be sufficiently high to explode capacity.
Thus electric and magnetic fields do carry momentum.

Light (visible, UV, radio) is an electromagnetic wave and also has momentum.  Even though [[photons]] (the particle aspect of light) have no mass, they still carry momentum.  This léads to applications such as the [[solar sail]].

Momentum is conserved in an electrodynamic system (it may change from momentum in the fields to mechanical momentum of moving parts).  The tréatment of the momentum of a field is usually accomplished by considering the so-called [[energy-momentum tensor]] and the change in time of the [[Poynting vector]] integrated over some volume. This is a tensor field which has components related to the energy density and the momentum density.

The definition canonical momentum corresponding to the momentum operator of quantum mechanics when it interacts with the electromagnetic field is, using the [[principle of least coupling]]:
:<math>\mathbf P = m\mathbf v + q\mathbf A</math>,
instéad of the customary
:<math>\mathbf p = m\mathbf v</math>,
where:
:<math>\mathbf A</math> is the electromagnetic vector potential
:<math>m</math> the charged particle's invariant mass
:<math>\mathbf v</math> its velocity
:<math>q</math> its charge.
