dc circuits, electromag Flashcards
def of electric field
a region of space where a charge in it experiences a force
def of electric field strength
the efield strength at a point in an efield is defined as the force per unit positive charge acting on a test charge placed at that point
E = F/q (ew fuck u)
E = V/d
def of mag field
region of space in which a magnetic material, a current carrying conductor, or a moving charge located in it may experience a force
def of mag flux density
mag flux density at a given point in a mag field is defined as the force per unit length exerted on a long straight conductor carrying a unit current placed perpendicular to the mag field
potential divider rule
Vr / total PD across all resistors = r/Reff
what does a ferrous core do
strengthens solenoids
eqn for mag force
Fb = BILsin@
Fb = Bvqsin@
where @ is the angle btwn current and magnetic field (resolved)
definition of tesla, T
the force per unit length of one newton per metre must act on a long straight wire carrying one ampere of current in a direction perpendicular to the field
