A

All other materials that are unaffected by magnetic fields (wood, rubber)

22
Q

(Ch 6) RETENTIVITY (materials)

A

The ability of a magnet to hold on to its magnetism over time

23
Q

(Ch 6) Magnetic fields

A

Magnetic fields are strongest near the POLES

24
Q

(Ch 6) 1 gauss is equal to?

A

Roughly the strength of earth’ magnetic field at the POLES

24
Q

(Ch 6) What does magnetic fields follow?

A

The strength of the attraction / repulsion of poles follows the INVERSE SQUARE LAW

25
Q

(Ch 6) Tesla is equal to?

A

Equal to 10,000 Gauss. Typical strength of a medical MRI machine is 2T

26
Q

(Ch 6) Laws of electro-statistics

A

Like charges repel, opposites charges ATTRACT.
In solid objects, only electrons MOVE.
In solid objects, free electrons only exist on the SURFACE.
In solid objects, free electrons concentrate near the point of greatest CURVATURE.

26
Q

(Ch 6) What is electrostatistics?

A

studies the slow moving or stationary electric charges
The unit of electrical charge is the Coulomb

27
Q

(Ch 6) What is static electricity? (electrification)

A

is cause by electrification by friction
ex: shoveling feet collecting electrons

28
Q

(Ch 6) What is electrification?

A
29
Q

(Ch 6) Contact (electrification)

A

Occurs when a potential difference (charge) exists between two objects that touch each other.

30
Q

(Ch 6) Induction (electrification)

A

A charge is induced in another object without touching it
(ex a transformer moving a smaller transformer in and out of the magnetic field)

31
Q

(Ch 6) Electromotive force: (electrification)

A

The force created by any electric potential difference. Unit: VOLT

32
Q

(Ch 7) What is electrodynamics?

A
33

(Ch 7) Electrical current can only flow through certain materials:

A

Conductors – Electrical current flow in most conditions
Semiconductors – Electrical current flow in certain conditions
Insulators – No electrical current flow

34
Q

(Ch 7) Current:

A

The flow of loosely-bound, outer shell electrons
Unit: The Ampere or Amp, abbreviated “A” or “I” and defined as 1 Coulomb per second
EX: (outer electrons move on the top in one direction then current MUST move in the opposite direction)

35
Q

(Ch 7) SERIES Circuit (pictures will be on exam)

A

Each component of the circuit is connected to each other.
A failure of one component breaks the circuit

36
Q

(Ch 7) PARALLEL Circuit (pictures will be on exam)

A

Each component is connected to the power source independently.
A failure of one component only breaks the circuit to that component, not the others.

A

How much force is preventing the electrons from moving through a circuit

38
Q

(Ch 7) Resistance is affected by:

A

Length of conductor (A lot of R ——- not much R –)

λ= wavelength (meters)

42
Q

(Ch 7) Three ways to generate alternating current:

A

Move a conductor back and forth through a magnetic field.
Move a magnetic field back and forth near a conductor.
Alternate the strength of a magnetic field.

42
Q

(Ch 7) Electrical power

A

The RATE at which electrical power is used
UNIT: The Watt (W)

43
Q

(Ch 7) Alternating current

A

Oscillation of current back and forth
At a frequency of 60-Hertz each cycle lasts for 1/60th second
(a graph with a line and waves going above and below this line best demonstrates the forward and back movements)

44
Q

(Ch 7) Transformers

A

Transformers use induction to transform:
Voltage
Amperage

45
Q

(Ch 7) Induction only works with:

A

Alternating Current

46
Q

(Ch 7) The secondary coil of a transformer has 20,000 turns and the primary coil has 500 turns.
What is the ratio

A

40 to 1
Step up
voltage x 40
amp x 40

46
Q

(Ch 7)
