Chapter 9 & 10 Flashcards
A simple Device using laws of elctrostatics to detect small electric charges
Electroscopes
material whose domains strongly resist changes in the directions of its magnetic field is described as
Magnetically hard
Earth’s north seeking pole is called
South magnetic pole
A circuit that contains a complete path for electrons to flow through is An open circuit
False, closed circut
Law that relates current voltage and resistance is known as Jules law
False, ohm’s law
The extent to which a material can absorb or channel lines of flux is known as permeability
True
The process of diverting unwanted electric charge Directly into the earth is Called grounding
True
A substance That has no unpaired electrons and is slightly repelled by Either pole of a magnet is a diamagnet substance
True
This device transforms energy of an electric current into another useful form of Energy
Load
When an electric field has an equal strength throughout
Uniform field
This is the force that causes the forces electric charge Moving through an electric Field passing through a device
Deflecting force
The extent of a planet’s magnetic field in space
Magnetosphere
The SI unit for resistance
Ohm (Omega Symbol)
The two belts of charged particles located above the earth’s equator to protect the earth from solar wind
Van allen radiation Belts
Is material through which current Does not easily flow
Insulators
