    Study Notes

    Electric Current

    • Electric current is the rate at which electrons pass a point.
    • Measured in Amperes (A).

    Electrical Potential Difference

    • Amount of work needed to move a charge between two points.
    • Measured in volts (V).

    Resistance

    • Opposition to the flow of electric current.
    • Measured in ohms (Ω).
    • Depends on the type of material, thickness, and length of the wire.

    Ohm's Law

    • States that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R).
    • I = V / R

    Circuits

    • Closed path allowing electricity to flow.
    • Can be wire or conductive material.
    • Composed of a source of energy, wire, load (e.g., light bulb), and a switch.

    Closed Circuit

    • Switch is closed, creating a complete path for current to flow.

    Open Circuit

    • Switch is open, interrupting the path and preventing current flow.

    Series Circuit

    • Only one path for current to flow.
    • If one component fails, the entire circuit fails.

    Parallel Circuit

    • Multiple paths for current to flow.
    • If one component fails, the others remain functional.

    Magnetism

    • Two aspects of a single electromagnetic force.
    • Property of matter, where objects are attracted or repelled.
    • Magnetic domains: groups of magnetically aligned atoms within a material.
    • Magnetic poles: areas where the magnetic force is strongest (north and south).

    Electromagnet

    • Coils of wire wrapped around a ferromagnetic material (e.g., iron).
    • Increasing the current increases the strength of the electromagnetic field.
