Physics Concepts and Principles

• Diamagnetic materials have paired electrons and usually have no magnetic moment, but some can exhibit weak magnetic fields.
• A simple circuit is a closed conducting path between high and low potential points, such as a battery's positive and negative terminals.
• Examples of circuits include the flow from one terminal of a car battery to the other, and using a D cell battery, light bulb, and wire to create a circuit.
• Magnets, such as iron or steel, can attract or repel other substances and have two poles: north and south.
• The magnetic field is represented by invisible lines showing paths of attraction and repulsion.
• Magnetism can occur naturally, or ferromagnetic materials can be magnetized to become permanent magnets.
• An electromagnet can be formed by electric current flowing through a wire and inserting a ferromagnetic material like an iron bar within the coil.
• Magnetic domains occur when the magnetic fields of atoms are grouped and aligned, causing a material to exhibit magnetic force.
• Motion is a change in the location of an object resulting from an unbalanced net force, requiring an understanding of displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
• Sound is a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium as mechanical waves, transferring energy through atomic particle vibrations.
• Sound waves consist of compressions and rarefactions, and different sounds have different wavelengths.
• The Doppler effect describes the change in perceived frequency of waves due to relative motion between the source and the observer, observable in sound and electromagnetic waves.
