Study Notes
Power and Energy
- 1 horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts in the International System of Units (SI).
- A kilowatt (kW) represents 1,000 watts or Joules per second (1 kW = 1,000 J/s).
- Electric bills are charged based on energy consumption measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh); 1 kWh equals 3.6 million Joules (3.6 × 10^6 J).
- 5.5 kWh converts to 19.80 × 10^6 J, calculated as 5.5 × 3.6 × 10^6 J.
Units of Measurement
- SI unit of electrical resistivity is ohm-meter.
- The measurement of the electrical potential difference or induced emf is expressed in volts (V).
- The unit of force in SI is the Newton (N), which equals kg·m/s².
- Magnetic flux is measured in Webers (Wb), representing the total magnetic field passing through an area.
Measurement Conversion and Equivalents
- 1 coulomb per second is defined as 1 ampere (A), indicating the flow of electric charge.
- Power is expressed in watts (W) in the SI system, related to energy and work measured in Joules (J).
- 1 Pico meter is equal to 10⁻¹² meters, a unit of distance in scientific contexts.
Additional Physics Concepts
- Light-year is a unit of distance equal to the distance light travels in one year, approximately 9.461 × 10¹² kilometers.
- The Curie is a unit of radioactivity equivalent to 3.7 × 10¹⁰ disintegrations/second.
- Electrical resistance is a measure of opposition to current flow, with the SI unit being ohm (Ω).
Optical and Thermal Units
- 1 diopter refers to the optical power of a lens and is the reciprocal of the focal length in meters.
- Temperature units include Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin, with Pascal as a unit of pressure, differentiating it from temperature measurement.
General Physics Principles
- Work (W) is defined mathematically as W = F·S·cos(θ), where F is force and S is displacement.
- The unit of stress in SI is Pascal (Pa), representing force per unit area (N/m²).
- Momentum is measured in kg·m/s, establishing a connection between mass and velocity.
These notes encapsulate critical definitions, unit conversions, and important physics principles, aiding comprehension and retention of fundamental concepts in Physics.
