ICP Flashcards
Static electricity
electricity in which charges dont move
current electricty
electricity in which chargers move
conductor
materials that electricity flows through
insulator
material that electricty can not flow through
semi-conductor
material that is sometimes an insulator, sometimes a conductor, sometimes an insulator
super conductor
very conductive
resistance
opposes electricity
magnetic field
a region of space affected by the presence of a magnet
magnetic field
a region of space presented by the effect of a magnet
ferromagnetic materials
materials most effected by magnets
permanant magnet
retains their magnetism for a long time
temporary magnet
only magnetic near other magnets
magnetic domain
very small area within a material that are magnetically aligned
AC electricty
produces an alternating current
DC electricity
“direct current” produces a constant direction in current flow
electric potential
the driving force of current flow
voltage
electric potential (V)
current
(C) moving electrons moving currents
Ohms law
the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance
What effect will objects with the same charge have on each other
they repel
What effect will objects with the opposite charge have on each other
they’ll attract each other
How do electric and magnetic forces change with distnace
theyre inversly related
Whats the differnece between permanant and temporary magnets
temporary magnets lose their magnetism when theyre away from other magnets. Permanant magnets don’t
name 3 conductors
paper clip, coin, silver
name 3 insulators
wood, plastic, rubber
what does it mean if the magnetic field lines are close together
the magnetic field is stronger
what happens to magnetic domains in the presence of a magnet
they align
What happens when magnetic domains align
it induces magnetism
what does a changing magnetic field produce
electric field
unit for voltage
V
unit for current
I
unit for resistance
R
function of wires
paths for electricity
battery function
pushes electricity thru circut
light bulb function
lights up, resists electricty
resister function
resists flow of electricity
