Electric current is the flow of electric charge, typically in the form of electrons, through a conductor.
The electric current in a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.

Coulomb’s Law

Coulomb's Law states that the electric force between two point charges is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The electric force is a vector quantity, and its direction is along the line joining the two charges.

Electric Field

The electric field is a vector quantity that surrounds a charged particle and is responsible for the force experienced by another charged particle in the vicinity.
The electric field can be defined as the electric force per unit charge at a given point in space.

Electric Potential Energy

Electric potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in an electric field.
The electric potential energy of a charged particle is proportional to the electric potential and the charge of the particle.

Electric Potential

Electric potential is the potential energy per unit charge at a given point in space.
The electric potential is a scalar quantity and is measured in volts.

Electric Dipole

An electric dipole is a system of two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance.
The torque on an electric dipole in a uniform electric field is proportional to the electric field strength and the dipole moment.

Conductors, Insulators, and Semiconductors

Conductors are materials that allow electric charge to flow freely through them.
Insulators are materials that resist the flow of electric charge through them.
Semiconductors are materials that have conductivity between that of conductors and insulators.

Gauss’s Law

Gauss's Law states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within the surface.
The law is useful for calculating the electric field of a charge distribution.

Magnetic Field

The magnetic field is a vector field that surrounds a current-carrying wire or a magnet.
The magnetic field is responsible for the force experienced by a charged particle moving through it.

Biot-Savart Law

The Biot-Savart Law relates the magnetic field to the current flowing through a wire.
The law is used to calculate the magnetic field at a given point in space due to a current-carrying wire.

Ampere’s Law

Ampere's Law relates the magnetic field around a closed loop to the current enclosed within the loop.
The law is useful for calculating the magnetic field of a current distribution.

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electric current is generated in a conductor when it is moved through a magnetic field.
The induced current is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the conductor.

Alternating Current

Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that periodically reverses direction.
AC is commonly used in electrical power distribution systems due to its ease of transmission and transformation.

Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are a type of wave that propagates through the electromagnetic field.
Electromagnetic waves can be described in terms of their electric and magnetic field components.

X-Rays

X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and a short wavelength.
X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging to produce images of the internal structures of the body.

Semiconductors and Semiconductor Devices

Semiconductors are materials with conductivity between that of conductors and insulators.
Semiconductor devices, such as diodes and transistors, are used in a wide range of electronic applications.

The Nucleus

The nucleus is the central part of an atom that contains the majority of its mass.
The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, which are held together by the strong nuclear force.

The Special Theory of Relativity

The special theory of relativity is a fundamental concept in modern physics that describes the behavior of objects at high speeds.
The theory introduces the concept of time dilation, length contraction, and relativity of simultaneity.
