Study Notes
- Matter has mass and volume and is the substance of physical objects.
- Weight is the measure of the pull of gravity on an object's mass.
- States of matter include solids, liquids, gases, and plasma.
- Elements cannot be reduced to a simpler form by chemical means.
- Compounds are chemical combinations of two or more elements.
- Mixtures consist of elements or compounds brought together by a physical process.
- Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Valence electrons determine the number of chemical bonds an atom can form.
- Conductors, insulators, and semiconductors have different abilities to produce free electrons.
- Coulomb's law describes the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles.
- Aircraft can experience static electricity buildup on dielectric surfaces like composite materials and glass.
- This buildup can result in streamering or arcing, which can cause radio interference and damage to the aircraft.
- Bonding is a technique used to connect metallic parts of an aircraft to reduce static buildup.
- Static dischargers or wicks are installed on aircraft to reduce radio interference caused by corona discharge.
- Some liquids conduct electricity, while others do not.
- Vacuum is a space devoid of matter and can be an approximation of true vacuum.
- The atoms of gases are spread widely apart and do not conduct electricity unless ionized.
- Ionization of gas can occur under certain conditions.
- Basic knowledge of electricity is important for aircraft maintenance and safety.
- Proper techniques and equipment can help prevent static buildup and other electrical issues in aircraft.
