    Study Notes

    Electrification and Electric Charges

    • Electrification results from the movement of electric charges, primarily negative electrons.
    • Insulators do not permit electron flow; examples include glass, plastic, wood, rubber, and paper.
    • Semiconductors, like silicon and germanium, can function as either conductors or insulators depending on conditions.
    • Superconductors, such as niobium and titanium, allow electron flow without resistance.
    • Electric charges: protons (+), electrons (-), and neutrons (0); a single electron holds a charge of 1.6 x 10^-19 Coulombs.

    Methods of Electrification

    • Contact: Charge transfer occurs when two objects touch.
    • Friction: Rubbing two objects together generates charges.
    • Induction: Charging occurs without direct contact between objects.

    Laws of Electricity

    • Ohm's Law: V = IR, relating voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R).
    • Electric current is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by moving electrons in conductors.

    Types of Electric Current

    • Direct Current (DC): Flows in one direction, sourced from batteries, fuel cells, solar cells.
    • Alternating Current (AC): Electrons oscillate back and forth, e.g., from power plants (60Hz).

    Electrostatic Principles

    • Unlike charges attract; like charges repel.
    • Coulomb’s Law: Electrostatic force correlates to the charges and inversely to the square of their distance.
    • Electric charge distribution is uniform, while concentration occurs at the surface edges.

    Electric Power

    • Power (P) is the rate at which electric energy is transferred, given by P = IV or P = I²R, where:
      • P = power (Watts)
      • V = voltage (Volts)
      • I = current (Amperes)
      • R = resistance (Ohms)

    Magnetism and Electromagnetism

    • Magnetism is the force causing attraction or repulsion between magnetic objects.
    • Magnetic permeability is a material's ability to attract magnetic field lines; susceptibility measures how easily a material can be magnetized.
    • Michael Faraday discovered induction in 1831, while Heinrich Lenz formulated the law of electromagnetism.

    Electric Generators and Motors

    • Electric generators transform mechanical energy into electrical energy.
    • Electric motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
    • Transformers modify voltage in an electrical circuit; types include:
      • Closed core transformers
      • Shell-type transformers (most efficient)
      • Autotransformers (vary voltage by self-induction)

    States of Matter in Electricity and Magnetism

    • Conductors allow electron flow (e.g., copper, gold).
    • Non/Diamagnetic materials do not retain magnetic properties (e.g., wood).
    • Paramagnetic materials possess intermediate magnetic properties (e.g., gadolinium).
    • Ferromagnetic materials can be strongly magnetized (e.g., aluminum, nickel, cobalt).

    Magnetic Laws

    • Magnet division results in smaller magnets with distinct north and south poles.
    • Attraction occurs between unlike magnetic poles; like poles repel.
    • Earth's magnetic field measures about 50 microTesla at the equator.
