Study Notes
Electric Charge
- Electric charge represents a fundamental property of matter.
- Positive and negative charges are the two types of electric charges.
- Like charges repel each other, and opposite charges attract each other.
Electric Current
- Electric current is defined as the flow of electric charge.
- Amperes (A) are the units of electric current.
- The direction of electric current flows from positive to negative.
Electric Circuit
- Electric circuits facilitate a path for electric current flow.
- Circuits consist of conductors, switches, and power sources.
Conductors and Insulators
- Conductors permit electric current to flow freely through them.
- Insulators resist the flow of electric current.
Heating Effect of Electric Current
- Heat is generated as electric current travels through a conductor.
- Devices, such as electric bulbs and heaters, employ this effect.
Magnetic Effect of Electric Current
- A magnetic field is produced when electric current flows through a conductor.
- Electric motors and generators utilize this magnetic field.
Natural Magnets
- Natural magnets have inherent magnetic properties.
- Iron ore and lodestone serve as natural magnet examples.
Artificial Magnets
- Artificial magnets undergo magnetization processes.
- Electromagnets and permanent magnets are forms of artificial magnets.
Properties of Magnets
- North and south poles are the two poles magnets possess.
- Like poles repel each other, and opposite poles attract each other.
- Certain materials, like iron and nickel, are attracted to magnets.
Magnetic Field
- A magnetic field represents the area around a magnet where magnetic force is detectable.
- The magnetic field direction extends from the north pole to the south pole.
Electromagnetism
- Electromagnetism describes the phenomenon where electric current creates a magnetic field.
- Technologies like electric motors, generators, and transformers depend on electromagnetism.
Electric Cell (Dry Cell)
- An electric cell, or dry cell, is a main component of an electrical circuit.
- Electric cells provide electrical energy for tools and devices via two terminals, identified as positive (+) and negative (-).
- Circuit diagrams use two parallel lines to symbolize an electric cell.
- The longer line represents the positive terminal, and the shorter line represents the negative terminal.
- Batteries consist of collections of electric cells.
Electric Bulb
- An electric bulb operates as part of an electric circuit using the electric energy from a cell.
- Electrons heat the filament, producing light inside the bulb.
Electrical Switches
- Electrical switches ensure continuous current flow is maintained within an electrical circuit for operation.
- A discontinuity in an electrical circuit cuts off the current flow.
Electrical Wiring
- Electrical wiring involves utilizing thin conductive wires for electrons to pass through, completing the circuit.
Electrical Conductors
- Electricity flows easily through conductive materials.
- Improved electrical flow means a material is a better conductor.
- Electrical charges easily pass through electrical conductors.
- Electric current is the flow of charge.
- Conductivity measures a material's capability to conduct electricity.
- Conductive materials provide little resistance to charge flow because of free electron movement.
- Metals are typically good conductors, and non-metals are often insulators or poor conductors.
- Poor conductors possess limited free electrons and offer high resistance to electrical current, like rubber, glass, and wood.
- Poor conductors function as resistors by opposing current flow.
Properties of Bar Magnets
- Bar magnets are able to attract small pieces of iron.
- When suspending freely, a bar magnet settles in a north-south direction.
Distinguishing a Magnet From a Soft Iron Bar
- Suspend a rod to see which direction it rests in in a free swing repeatedly.
- A north-south resting rod is a magnet.
- A rod turning randomly is considered a non-magnet.
Distinguishing Two Similar Bars Using Attraction
- Place one bar (A) on a table, then move the other bar (B) near one and then the other end of bar A, and also its middle.
- Bar A consists of soft iron if bar B sticks to any point.
- Place bar B on the table. Touch bar A to one end, then the middle of bar B.
- Bar A attracts each end of bar B but not the middle, so bar B is the magnet.
Magnetism with Broken Bar Magnets
- Each piece becomes a new magnet when a bar magnet breaks.
- Each segment attracts iron pieces and aligns north-south when suspended.
- Pieces broken repeatedly continue to create new magnets, showing that poles exist in pairs.
Magnetic Compass
- A magnetic compass features a small magnetic needle turning inside a small brass box topped with glass.
- Magnetic compasses determine direction.
Magnetic Field
- A magnetic field occupies the area around a magnet where the magnet influences magnetic force.
Electromagnet
- Electromagnets are temporary magnets created by winding wire around a soft iron core.
- Passing an electric current through the wire generates a magnetic field.
Strength of an Electromagnet
- Coil turn number and electric current strength affect the magnetic field of an electromagnet.
- Magnetic field strength increases with more coil turns or increased current.
Uses of Electromagnets
- Electromagnets load furnaces with iron.
- They also function in electrical gadgets such as electric bells, electric trams, microphones, loudspeakers, and electric motors.
Working of an Electric Bell
- Current flows through the coil of an electromagnet when the switch is pressed.
- The electromagnet attracts the armature, making the attached hammer strike the gong to ring the bell.
- The circuit breaks during this process, and current stops, demagnetizing the electromagnet.
- The armature moves to the start position because of spring action, and the circuit re-completes.
- This continuous on-off cycles repeat for as long as the bell push remains pressed.
Magnetic Declination
- Magnetic declination is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic north and geographic north.
Definition of Current
- Current is the rate of charge flow per second.
Common Electrical Appliances
- Electric fans, TVs, electric irons, and electric heaters rely on electricity.
Sources of Electricity
- Cells and batteries
- Generators
Electric Circuit
- Electricity flows along this path.
Parallel Arrangements
- Home circuits use parallel arrangements for appliances.
- Each appliance operates alone.
- Problems with one appliance do not affect others.
- Each appliance works on its own.
Precautions When Switching on an Electric Circuit
- Avoid touching the switch or any component with wet hands.
- Use properly insulated wiring everywhere.
- Connecting wires should not be naked, they should be properly insulated everywhere.
