Study Notes
Electric Charge
- Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter
- There are two types of electric charges:
- Positive charge (proton)
- Negative charge (electron)
- Like charges repel each other, opposite charges attract each other
Electric Field
- Electric field is a vector field that surrounds charged particles
- Electric field lines:
- Radiate outward from positive charges
- Radiate inward to negative charges
- Electric field strength (E) is measured in Newtons per Coulomb (N/C)
Electric Potential
- Electric potential, or voltage, is the potential energy per unit charge
- Measured in Volts (V)
- Electric potential difference (ΔV) is the change in electric potential between two points
Electric Current
- Electric current (I) is the flow of electric charge
- Measured in Amperes (A)
- Electric current is the flow of electrons from negative to positive terminal
Resistance
- Resistance (R) is the opposition to electric current
- Measured in Ohms (Ω)
- Resistance depends on:
- Material properties
- Temperature
- Length and cross-sectional area of the conductor
Magnetic Fields
- Magnetic fields are created by electric currents or changing electric fields
- Magnetic field lines:
- Radiate outward from north pole
- Radiate inward to south pole
- Magnetic field strength (B) is measured in Teslas (T)
Electromagnetic Induction
- Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electric current in a conductor
- Caused by a changing magnetic field
- Faraday's law of induction: ε = -N(ΔΦ/Δt)
Lorentz Force
- The Lorentz force is the force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field
- F = q(E + v x B)
- Where F is the force, q is the charge, E is the electric field, v is the velocity, and B is the magnetic field
Electric Charge
- Matter has a fundamental property called electric charge
- There are two types of electric charges: positive (proton) and negative (electron)
- Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract each other
Electric Field
- Charged particles are surrounded by a vector field called electric field
- Electric field lines:
- Emerge outward from positive charges
- Converge inward to negative charges
- Electric field strength is measured in Newtons per Coulomb (N/C)
Electric Potential
- Electric potential, or voltage, is the potential energy per unit charge
- Measured in Volts (V)
- Electric potential difference is the change in electric potential between two points
Electric Current
- Electric current is the flow of electric charge
- Measured in Amperes (A)
- Electric current flows from negative to positive terminal due to the flow of electrons
Resistance
- Resistance opposes electric current
- Measured in Ohms (Ω)
- Factors affecting resistance:
- Material properties
- Temperature
- Length and cross-sectional area of the conductor
Magnetic Fields
- Magnetic fields are created by electric currents or changing electric fields
- Magnetic field lines:
- Emerge outward from the north pole
- Converge inward to the south pole
- Magnetic field strength is measured in Teslas (T)
Electromagnetic Induction
- Electromagnetic induction produces an electric current in a conductor
- Caused by a changing magnetic field
- Faraday's law of induction: ε = -N(ΔΦ/Δt)
Lorentz Force
- The Lorentz force is the force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field
- Formula: F = q(E + v x B)
- Where:
- F is the force
- q is the charge
- E is the electric field
- v is the velocity
- B is the magnetic field
