    Study Notes

    Flashlight Circuit

    • A flashlight circuit requires a closed loop for current flow.
    • Electrons are the charge carriers in a circuit.
    • Batteries provide chemical energy to power the circuit.

    Batteries Depletion

    • Batteries connected in series share the total voltage equally.
    • All batteries in a series circuit will deplete at the same rate.

    Damaged Desk Lamp

    • If one wire in a two-wire cord is cut, the circuit is broken.
    • No current will flow through the bulb, and it will not light up.

    Toaster Power Consumption

    • Power consumption is directly proportional to current flowing through the circuit.
    • Doubling current through a circuit results in a quadrupled power loss.

    Power loss in power line

    • The power loss in a power line is calculated by P=I^2*R, where P is power, I is current, and R is resistance.
    • A power line carrying 10 amps with a resistance of 2 ohms will lose 200 watts of power as heat.

    Magnetic Pole Properties

    • A bar magnet has a north pole and a south pole.
    • The magnetic poles can be reversed, but not removed or converted to the same polarity.

    Magnet Manufacturing

    • Bar magnets are magnetized by exposing them to a strong magnetic field.
    • This field is usually generated by a coil carrying direct current (DC).

    Magnet Demagnetization

    • Permanent magnets can be demagnetized if they are heated or physically impacted.
    • This is due to the realignment of magnetic domains within the magnet.

    Steel Refrigerator Door

    • Steel refrigerator doors are not permanently magnetic because their magnetic domains are randomly oriented.
    • This means there is no net magnetic field.

    Magnetic Field and Pole Strength

    • The magnetic field strength in a coil is a measure of the magnetic force it produces.
    • Steel rods with a pole strength are susceptible to magnetic forces.
