Capítol C 1 - Bases d’electricitat

Study Notes

Magnetism was first discovered in Magnesia, Greece.
The mineral that was discovered is now known as magnetite (Fe3O4).
There are natural magnets in addition to magnetite.
Iron, cobalt, and nickel can become artificial magnets.
A magnet has two poles, north and south.
The Earth acts as a magnet with magnetic poles near but not identical to the geographic poles.
The angle between the magnetic and geographic north is called magnetic declination.
Electricity is a form of energy based on the attraction and repulsion of electrons.
The main magnitudes of electric current are voltage, resistance, current intensity, and power.
Multimeters are used to measure these magnitudes in a circuit.
Electromagnetism studies the interactions between magnetic fields, electric charges, and currents.
Electromagnetism is responsible for almost all physical phenomena in daily life.
Induction electromagnetism is the process by which varying magnetic fields create electric fields and currents.
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy using magnetic fields.
Transformers are machines that convert electrical energy from one set of characteristics to another using induction electromagnetism.
Transformers have three main parts: a ferromagnetic core, a primary coil, and one or more secondary coils.
Transformers can increase or decrease voltage in an AC circuit without changing power.
