Electricity and Magnetism
Electricity
Static Electricity
Charge
Positive
carried by the protons
Negative
carried by electrons
Friction
causes an imbalance of electrons by transferring electrons from one object to another.
Static Discharge
is the release of static electricity when two objects touch each other.
is a buildup of electric charges on objects.
Fields
defined as the electric force per unit charge. The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge.
Test charge
a charge with a magnitude so small that placing it at a point has a negligible affect on the field around the point.
Electric Field Strength
the intensity of an electric field at a particular location.
Non-contact force
It means a force that acts on an object without touching the object.
Circuits
Types of circuits
Series
is a closed circuit in which the current follows one path.
Parallel
is a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
Voltage
a representation of the electric potential energy per unit charge.
Resistance
ratio of the voltage applied to the electric current which flows through it
Electromagnet
a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.
Currents
is a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms
Ampers
is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor.
is a closed loop that electrons can travel in.
