ELECTRODYNAMICS Flashcards
magnetic flux linkage
as the product of the number of turns on the coil and the flux through the coil
faradays law of electromagnetic induction
the emf induced is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux
lenz’s law
the induced current flows in a direction so as to set up a magnetic field to oppose the change in magnetic flux
diode
asa component that only allows current to flow in one direction
the photoelectric effect
as the process that occurs when light shines on a metal and electrons are ejected
threshold (cut-off) frequency
as the minimum frequency of incident radiation at which electrons will be emitted from particular metal
work function
as the minimum amount of energy needed to emit an electron from the surface of metal
