Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between electric charge and conductors?

Electric charge resides on the surface of conductors

Explain Gauss's law in relation to electric flux.

Gauss's law states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed by the surface divided by the permittivity of free space

What is the effect of dielectric on capacitance?

The presence of a dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor increases the capacitance.

Explain Lenz's law.

<p>Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced current in a circuit is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Define inductive and capacitive reactances.

<p>Inductive reactance is the opposition to the change in current flow in an inductor, while capacitive reactance is the opposition to the change in voltage across a capacitor.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the significance of RMS values of current and voltage in AC circuits?

<p>RMS values represent the equivalent DC values of current and voltage in an AC circuit, making it easier to calculate power and analyze circuit behavior.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the concept of interference in wave optics.

<p>Interference occurs when two or more waves superpose to form a resultant wave, leading to the reinforcement or cancellation of amplitudes.</p> Signup and view all the answers
