Electricity and Magnetism Flashcards
Electric Force
between two point charges
where k is coulomb’s law’s constant
k = 9.0 * 109 N*m2/C2
Electric Force in terms of Electric Field
Potential energy
in terms of potential and potential energy between two point charges.
While the first equation is always valid, the second equation is only valid between two point charges
Uniform electrical field
between two parallel plates
The potential at some point due to surrounding point charges
where k is the coulomb’s law constant
Definition of Capacitance
Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor
where e0 = 8.9 * 10-12C2/N * m2
Energy stored on a capacitor
Definition of current
Resistance of a wire
Ohm’s law
Power in an electrical circuit
Adding parallel capacitors
