Electricity Flashcards
How do you charge insulators
Friction
Objects gaining electrons
Become negatively charged
Object losing electrons
Becomes positively charged
Uses of electrostatics
Painting
Dust extraction
Current equ
Charge / time
Use of voltmeter and ammeter
Volt - p.d
Ammeter - current
Resistance equ
V/ current
V- I graphs
Fixed resistor
Straight
X=y
Filament lamp
S shaped
Parallel current and voltage rules
Total circuit current = the individual current added up
Voltage = same each component
Voltage voltmeter MUST BE CONNECTED IN PARALLEL with the component.
Series rules voltage and current
Current is the same through each
Voltage is the sum of the individual drops
Equation in voltage
Energy / charge
Power
Current x voltage
Energy transfer
Power x time
Consequence of 100% efficiency
Total transfer of electrical power
Gives ride to
VpIp = VsIs
When do electromagnetic induction occur
A wire moves relative to a magnet or when a magnetic field changes
