Study Notes

Magnetism and Electromagnetism

Ampere’s law relates the magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop.
Gravitational potential is related to mass and distance from a mass center; magnetic potential is derived from the magnetic field, while electrostatic potential is related to electric charge and distance.
Paramagnetic materials exhibit weak attraction to magnetic fields due to unpaired electrons; diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by magnetic fields and have no unpaired electrons; ferromagnetic materials have strong attraction due to aligned magnetic domains.

Induction and Energy

Flux is the product of the magnetic field and the area it penetrates, essential in Faraday’s and Henry’s experiments demonstrating electromagnetic induction.
Lenz’s law states that the direction of induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux, aligning with the conservation of energy principle.
Eddy currents are loops of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field, leading to energy losses in materials.
Mutual inductance describes how the magnetic field of one coil can induce an electromotive force (emf) in a nearby coil.

AC Circuits and Power

The power dissipated by an AC current in a resistor can be calculated using the root mean square (rms) value of the current.
Phases in AC current refer to the displacement of the waveforms of voltage and current with respect to time, crucial in circuit analysis.
AC currents exhibit different behaviors in resistors (Ohmic), capacitors (phase lag), and inductors (phase lead), influencing circuit design.
Resonance in LCR circuits occurs when the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal, maximizing the circuit's current.

Wave-Particle Duality in Modern Physics

Experimental results support the particle nature of light, as seen in the photoelectric effect requiring specific wavelength ranges for various metals to achieve photocurrent.
The dual nature of matter reveals that particles such as electrons exhibit wave-like behaviors, illustrated by electron microscopes providing higher resolution images.
Atomic models are evaluated against experimental data, assessing the composition and behavior of atomic nuclei.

Nuclear Physics and Electronics

Electromagnetic forces differ from atomic forces, influencing particle interactions and nuclear behaviors.
Radioactive decay allows for calculating the age of a sample from its activity, crucial in geology and archaeology.
P-N junction diodes act as rectifiers, converting AC to DC, with special-purpose diodes like LEDs and photodiodes serving specific applications.
Transistors serve as fundamental components in electronic circuits, enabling amplification and switching, essential for various everyday technologies.

Circular Motion and Dynamics

Circular motion involves objects moving in a circular path, characterized as either uniform (speed constant) or non-uniform (speed varying).
The angular velocity (ω) direction is determined using the right-hand rule, illustrating the relationship between rotation and linear speed (v = ωr).
Vertical circular motion experiences changes in potential and kinetic energy, calculated by considering forces acting on a mass tied to a string, yielding critical insights into motion under gravity.
