electricity
energy produced by movement (static accumulation/dynamic flow) of charged particles
coulombic force
is between two charged particles, attraction between opposite charges and repelling between same charges
a single charged particle has a…
3D radiative electric field
static accumulation / dynamic flow
contact between two charges
immobilized accumulation
movement against a static charged object (like a plate) which generates an electric field
equation for immobilized accumulation
F*d = J
a charged particle within an electric field will move some distance with some force, resulting in work
negatively charged particles move from areas of ______ potential to areas of ______ potential
moves from areas of low potential to areas of high potential
positively charged particles move from areas of _____ potential to areas of ______ potential
moves from areas of high potential to areas of low potential
units for electric force
newtons
units for electric field
newtons/coulumbs
units for potential energy
joules
voltage (V)
amount of energy required to do work (F*d) to move charge (q)
units of voltage
volts
equation of voltage
v = (F*d)/q
current (I)
amount of charge (in columbs) moving over time (seconds)
units of current
amperes
equation of current
I = q/t
how does charge flow through a battery
from the negative terminal (-) to the (+) terminal
current flows in the ________ direction of electrons
opposite
what generates a magnetic field
flow of electrons
how does positive charge flow in a schematic circuit
from the long line to the short line
how do electrons flow in a schematic circuit
from the short line to the long line
how does current flow through a wire
from positive to negative, B is around counterclockwise (right hand rule)
electrons only flow in a ____ circuit
closed
why do individual electrons flow relatively slow
because of atoms and electrostatic of resistance to motion
how do electrons travel in a wave through a wire
they displace each other in the wire causing a motion similar to a wave, this happens instantaneously
force for flow in an electric circuit
EMF (voltage)
flow in electric circuit
charge/time (current)
limitation to flow in electric circuit
size, shape, material of conductor (impedance)
AC
alternating current, varies over time
DC
direct current, consistent over time
voltage is a potential difference between…
two locations, measured with a probe (voltameter)
wall voltage is
120V AC, it is alternating because its easier to travel over long distances
AA battery voltage is
1.5V DC, current always flows consistently in both directions
