Study Notes
Circuit Current and Resistance
- Parallel Circuit Current: The total current in a circuit with resistors connected in parallel is greater than the current in a series circuit with the same resistors.
- Series Circuit Current: The total current in a series circuit with resistors is the same as in a parallel circuit with the same resistors.
- Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL): The total current entering a junction is equal to the total current leaving the junction.
Charging by Rubbing and Induction
- Charging by Rubbing: Electrons transfer from one object to another when two objects are rubbed together.
- Charging by Induction: Rearranging the charges in an object without direct contact.
Resistance and Wire Properties
- Resistance Formula: Resistance (R) is equal to resistivity (ρ) times length (L) divided by area (A). (R = ρL/A)
- Resistance Change: If the length of a wire doubles and its cross-sectional area is halved, the new resistance will be 4 times greater than the original resistance.
Calculating Electric Fields
- Superposition Principle: To calculate the net electric field at a point due to multiple charges, use Coulomb's law to find the field vectors due to each charge, then add them using vector addition.
Relationship Between Resistance, Length, and Area
- Resistance and Area: Resistance decreases as its cross-sectional area increases (inverse relationship).
- Resistance and Length: Resistance increases as its length increases (direct relationship).
Ohm's Law
- Ohm's Law: The current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. (I = V/R)
- Example Application: A light bulb with a 12 Ω resistance connected to a 24 V power supply will have a current of 2 A flowing through it.
Charge Transfer
- Charge Transfer Calculation: The total charge transferred (Q) is equal to the current (I) multiplied by the time (t). (Q = I × t)
- Charge Transfer Comparison: The conductor with the current flowing for a longer duration will experience more charge transfer.
Electric Force and Distance
- Force and Distance: The force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Doubling the distance between the objects will decrease the force by a factor of four.
Capacitors in Circuits
- Capacitors in Timing Circuits: Capacitors control the rate of charging and discharging in timing circuits, like those in oscillators or clocks
- Capacitors in Power Supply Circuits: Capacitors smooth out fluctuations in voltage in power supply circuits.
- Capacitor Charging: Capacitors store electrical energy and release it quickly to generate high-intensity flashes in a camera's flash unit, for example.
Electric Potential
- Electric Potential at a Point: The electric potential at a point due to a positive point charge increases as the distance from the charge decreases.
