Electric Charge And Current Flashcards
Charge of an electron
Mass of an electron
1.610^-19 C
9.1110^ -31kg
Electrostatic force between 2 point charge obey
Newton’s third law
The force on one charge is the action and on the other is reaction and vice versa
Is the rate at which charges flow past a point on a circuit
Current
I=q/t
Current of 1 ampere means that there is
1 coulomb of charge passing through a cross section of a wire every one second
1A=1C/1s=1Cs^-1
1 Emf
2 potential difference
E=W/q
V=W/q
Si unit of Emf and potential difference is volt
The conversion of electrical energy into heating energy is called
Joule heating
Advantage of dc
Electroplating , electro refining , electro typing
Electricity can be stored only in the form of DC
Potential near your charge is there measure of it _______ to bring a positive charge at that point
Work
Resistance of a wire depends on
Temperature, geometry, nature of material
Unit of electric field
Newton per coulomb
