Q

physics

electric potential

A
  • VOLTAGE
  • ratio of charge’s EPE to the magnitude of charge itself Volts, scalar
46
Q

physics

voltage

A

ΔV = Vb - Va
potential difference

47
Q

physics

magnetic field around a wire

A
  • use RHR (thumb = I, fingers = field)
  • for a LOOP wire, same eq without pi (same RHR)
48
Q

physics

magnetic force on a charge

A
  • so when angle = 0 or 180 (parallel/antiparallel) there is NO FORCE force highest when angle is 90
  • direction of force = RHR (fingers=field, thumb = velocity of charge/current of wire, palm=force)
  • if charge is (-), force direction is opp (back of hand)
49
Q

physics

magnetic force on a current carrying wire

A
  • same RHR but thumb = current

directly proportional to length
inversely proportional to area

Q

physics

doppler effect

A
  • mnemonic: observer = detector (d), and source (s) — d / s = dom / sub ;)
  • ignore the observer +/-, observer NEVER MOVES
  • so becomes v / (v +/- Vs)
  • subtract source speed when moving towards
69
Q

physics

intensity of sound

A

I = A^2
I = 1 / d^2
so… **intensity directly prop. to area squared (high area = high intensity)
intensity inversely prop. to distance squared (high distance from source, low intensity)
