• The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the current.

Visualizing Magnetic Fields

• The magnetic field lines can be visualized using concentric circles around the wire.
• The direction of the magnetic field lines can be determined using the Right Hand Rule.

Magnetic Field Around Different Conductors

• Straight wire: magnetic field lines form concentric circles around the wire.
• Loop of wire: magnetic field lines form a pattern that converges through the loop, creating a magnetic dipole.
• Solenoid: magnetic field lines form a strong and uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid.

8.2 Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

• Michael Faraday discovered the principle of electromagnetic induction.
• A changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (emf) in a conductor.
• The emf is only generated when the magnetic field is changing.

Magnetic Flux

• Magnetic flux (φ) is defined as the product of the magnetic field (B) and the area (A) of the loop.
• φ = B A cos θ, where θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the loop.

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

• The induced emf (E) is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux (φ) through the loop.
• E = -N Δφ / Δt, where N is the number of turns in the loop.

Direction of Induced Current

• The induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux.
• The direction of the induced current can be determined using the Right Hand Rule.

Induction

• Electromagnetic induction is utilized in various applications, including electrical generators.
• Self-induction occurs when a changing magnetic field produced by a changing current in a wire induces a voltage along the same wire.

Lenz's Law

• The induced current will create a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic flux.
• The direction of the induced emf always works to counteract the change that caused it.

9.1 Ohm's Law

• Ohm's Law states that the amount of electric current through a metal conductor at a constant temperature is proportional to the voltage across the conductor.
• I = V / R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance.
• Conductors that obey Ohm's Law have a constant resistance when the voltage is varied across them or the current through them is increased.### Electric Current and Resistance
• Non-ohmic conductors: resistance changes with temperature, examples: light bulbs, diodes, transistors
• Ohmic conductors: resistance remains constant, examples: circuit resistors, nichrome wire
• Graph of current vs. voltage: straight line for ohmic conductors, not a straight line for non-ohmic conductors

Series and Parallel Circuits

• Series circuit: one path for current, total resistance is the sum of individual resistances
• Parallel circuit: multiple paths for current, total resistance is less than individual resistances
• Equivalent resistance formulas: Rs = R1 + R2 + R3 + … + Rn (series), 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + … + 1/Rn (parallel)

Series and Parallel Circuits Analysis

• Series circuits: current is the same through all components, voltage is proportional to resistance
• Parallel circuits: voltage is the same across all components, total current is the sum of individual currents

Power and Energy

• Power: rate of doing work, measured in watts (W), calculated as P = I × V
• Energy: total work done, measured in joules (J), calculated as E = P × t
• Energy consumption: determined by power rating and time of use, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh)

Chemical Bonds

• Atoms form bonds to achieve a more stable electron configuration
• Valence electrons: outermost energy level electrons involved in bonding
• Lewis diagrams: represent valence electrons around an atom's chemical symbol
• Covalent bonds: formed when pairs of electrons are shared between atoms

Molecular Shape

• Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory: predicts molecular shape based on electron pair arrangement
• Molecular shape influences physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point
• Common molecular shapes: linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, tetrahedral, etc.

Electronegativity

• Electronegativity: ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself
• Electronegativity values: range from 0 to 4, with higher values indicating stronger electron attraction
• Electronegativity and bonding: differences in electronegativity values indicate bond type (non-polar, polar, ionic)

Energy and Bonding

• Bond length: distance between nuclei of two adjacent atoms
• Bond energy: energy required to break a bond
• Factors influencing bond strength: bond length, atom size, and number of bonds
• Energy changes in bond formation: attractive and repulsive forces interact to form a bond

Intermolecular Forces

• Intermolecular forces: forces between molecules, influencing physical properties

• Types of intermolecular forces: ion-dipole, ion-induced dipole, dipole-dipole, induced dipole (London dispersion), and dipole-induced dipole forces

• Polarity and dipole molecules: molecules with a difference in electronegativity, resulting in a partial positive and negative charge### Hydrogen Bonds

• Hydrogen bonds occur in molecules where hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.

• The hydrogen atom of one molecule is attracted to the electronegative atom of another molecule, creating a relatively strong intermolecular force.

• Example: Water molecules, where hydrogen bonds form between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the oxygen atom of another.

Differences Between Intermolecular and Interatomic Forces

• Intermolecular forces occur between molecules and are generally weaker than interatomic forces.
• Intermolecular forces include dipole-dipole forces, hydrogen bonds, and London dispersion forces.
• Interatomic forces occur within molecules and include covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds.

Properties Affected by Intermolecular Forces

• Phase of Matter: Strong intermolecular forces result in solids, while weak intermolecular forces result in gases.
• Melting and Boiling Points: Substances with strong intermolecular forces have high melting and boiling points, while substances with weak intermolecular forces have low melting and boiling points.
• Viscosity: Substances with strong intermolecular forces are more viscous.
• Density: Solids are often the densest phase due to strong intermolecular forces.
• Thermal Expansion: As substances are heated, their molecules move more vigorously and expand.
• Thermal Conductivity: Metals have high thermal conductivity due to free electrons.

Investigation of Intermolecular Forces

• Evaporation: Substances with weaker intermolecular forces evaporate faster.
• Surface Tension: Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher surface tension.
• Solubility: Substances dissolve in solvents with similar intermolecular forces.
• Boiling Point: Substances with strong intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.
• Capillarity: Substances with strong intermolecular forces travel further up a narrow tube.

Molecular Size and Intermolecular Forces

• Larger molecules have stronger intermolecular forces.
• In organic compounds like alkanes, increasing the number of carbon atoms increases the boiling point and melting point due to stronger intermolecular forces.

The Chemistry of Water

• Water behaves differently due to its unique microscopic structure, molecular shape, polar nature, and intermolecular forces.
• Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, a strong type of intermolecular force.
• Water has a high specific heat, meaning it absorbs a lot of energy before its temperature changes significantly.

Unique Properties of Water

• Specific Heat: Water's high specific heat is crucial in regulating environmental temperatures and maintaining stable temperatures within organisms.
• Absorption of Infra-Red Radiation: Water can absorb infra-red radiation from the sun, acting as a heat reservoir and helping to moderate the Earth's climate.
• Melting Point and Boiling Point: Water has a melting point of 0°C and a boiling point of 100°C at standard pressure, allowing it to exist as a liquid over a wide range of temperatures.
• High Heat of Vaporisation: Water has a high heat of vaporisation, meaning a significant amount of energy is required to change water from liquid to gas.
• Less Dense Solid Phase: Water is less dense in its solid phase (ice) than in its liquid phase, which is crucial for the environment and biological processes.

The Interactions of Water with Various Substances

• Water is an excellent solvent for many ionic and polar substances due to its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds.
• Water dissolves ionic compounds through hydration, where water molecules surround the positive and negative ions.
• Water also dissolves polar covalent compounds due to hydrogen bonding.
• Non-polar substances do not dissolve well in water due to the lack of attraction between water molecules and non-polar molecules.
• Water's solvent properties are essential for biological functions, such as transporting nutrients, gases, and waste products within living organisms.
• Water's role as a solvent is also crucial in environmental processes, such as distributing nutrients in soil and supporting aquatic ecosystems.
