Chapter 6: Electricity and Magnetism Flashcards
Current is measured by
amps
A volt is a measure of
energy per electron
Magnetism comes from
moving electric charge
In a permanent magnet, the magnetism comes from
the spin of the electrons
Magnetic monopoles
have never been found
Rail guns push the projectile using
magnetic field
Telsa wanted to use a transformer to distribute electricity because
is made high voltage less dangerous
You can demagnetize a natural magnet
by heating it above the Curie point
electricity
the flow of electrons, or other similar particles that carry electric charge
in homes, we use AC rather than DC because
the voltage can be changed easily using transformers
dynamo
used to make the magnetic filed stronger
for the generation of commercial electric polwer
Telsa coil
transformer that produces very high voltages
