What is the Greek word of electricity |
Electron (Amber) |
|
What is Amber Effect? |
Static Electricity (Calling the positive and one negative) |
|
Conserved and it is quantized with units of e. |
Electric charge |
|
Lose electrons become? Gain electrons become? |
Positive Charged Negative Charged |
|
What is the Charge concept? |
The opposite charges attract, like charges repel. |
|
Who discovered the coulombs law? |
Charles Augustine De Coulomb |
|
Interaction between charged object and neutral object (same charged) |
Conduction |
|
No interaction between charged object and neutral object (opposite charge) |
Induction |
|
Rubbing two materials together can rub electrons off from one object to another |
Friction |
|
allow electrons to pass through them (metal) |
Conductors |
|
Hinders the flow of electrons (Non-Metals) |
Insulators |
|
Properties changed with their chemical composition |
Semi-Conductors |
|
Magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and indirectly proportional to the square of distance that separates them |
Coulombs Law |
|
Defined as the electrical force per unit of charge |
Electric Fields |
|
May be produced by one or more charges |
Electric Fields |
|
Proportional to the number of electrons field lines going through an imaginary surface |
Electric Flux |
|
The Net energy flux out in a closed surface is equivalent to the rotation of charge enclosed and it's permittivity |
Gauss's Law |
|
The energy needed to move an electric charge against an electric field |
Electric potential energy |
|
The energy possessed by a charge in an electric field. Which gives it the ability to do work |
Electric potential energy |
|
2 factors of electric potential |
1. The amount of charge creating potential 2. Distance from the charge |
|
4 Meaning of Battery |
1.store energy in form of chemical energy 2. Charging, discharging rate very slow 3. It is active device 4. Only works with DC |
|
4 meaning of capacitor |
1.store energy in form of electric charge 2. Charging, discharging rate very fast 3. It is passive device 4. Works with both DC and AC |
|
2 similarities of Battery and Capacitor |
1. Can store electrical energy 2. Can create potential difference |
|
The capacity of a capacitor to store energy in a form of electric charge |
Capacitance |
|
Responsible in pushing the electric current |
Voltage |
|
Who had a huge contribution in the study of engines, electricity and heat |
James Prescott |
|
Who is also the inventor of electric battery |
Allesandro Volta |
|
A component which has the ability or capacity to store energy |
Capacitor |
|
A material used to separate the conductive plates of a capacitor |
Dialectric |
|
Any device that contributes appreciable resistance to the flow of a charge |
Resistor |
|
It circuits the same terminal of both devices are connected together |
Parallel |
|
A Circuit that was made by connection the end of one device to the beginning of another |
Series |
|
A circuit that only electron has only one pathway to flow. |
Series |
|
A circuit that electron has two or more pathways |
Parallel |
|
A Circuit when one bulb/device is busted, the others will not operate |
Series |
|
A Circuit when one bulb/device is busted, others will still operate |
Parallel |
