    Study Notes

    Static Frictional Force

    • Opposes the initiation of motion of a stationary object relative to a surface.
    • Acts in the opposite direction of the applied force.
    • Magnitude is directly proportional to the normal force.

    Kinetic Frictional Force

    • Opposes the motion of a moving object relative to a surface.
    • Acts in the opposite direction of the object's velocity.
    • Magnitude is directly proportional to the normal force.

    Electromotive Force (EMF)

    • Represents the total energy supplied per unit charge (Coulomb) by an electrical source, like a battery or generator.
    • Measured in volts (V).
    • Determines the maximum potential difference across the source's terminals when no current flows.

    Current

    • Refers to the rate of flow of electric charge.
    • Measured in Amperes (A).
    • Defined as the amount of charge passing a point in a conductor per unit time.
    • Mathematically expressed as I = Q/t (where I is the current, Q is the charge, and t is the time).

    Ohm's Law

    • States that the potential difference (V) across a conductor is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through it, provided the temperature remains constant.
    • Mathematically expressed as V = IR (where R is the resistance of the conductor).
    • A fundamental law in electricity that describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

    Static Friction

    • The force that opposes the tendency of motion of a stationary object relative to a surface.

    Kinetic Friction

    • The force opposing the motion of a moving object relative to a surface.

    Electromotive Force (EMF)

    • Represents the total energy supplied per coulomb of charge by a cell.

    Electric Current

    • Defined as the rate of flow of charge.

    Ohm's Law

    • States that the potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the current in the conductor, provided the physical conditions remain constant, including temperature.
