lesson 3 Flashcards
a form of energy that is transmitted through the wires for operating various machines
electricity
attractive or repulsive force that acts up to a certain distance
magnetism
he proved the direct like between electric and magnetic phenomena
hans oersted
electric current cannot be induced in a circuit merely by the presence of a magnetic field
faradays experiment
a form of energy or the flow of electrons
electricity
study of stationary electric charges
electrostatic
study of electrostatic charges in motion
electrodynamics
lodestone or magnetite in the earth exhibits strong magnetism
naturally occurring magnets
they are produced by charging them in a field of electromagnet
artificially induced permanent magnets
when an electric current is conducted through the wire, a magnetic field is created
electromagnets
made from coils of superconducting wire. it is cooled to a cryogenic temperature 10 kelvin = -263 C by liquid helium or nitrogen
superconducting magnets
three classification of matter according to interaction with magnetism
- dimagnetic material - unaffected to magnetic field
- ferromagnetic materials - strongly attracted by magnet
- paramagnetic materials - slightly attracted to magnet
battery known as voltic pile
alessandro volta
first one too link electricity and magnetism
hans oersted
develop the laws of electromagnetic induction
Michael faraday
develop the incandescent bulb
thomas edison
develop the alternating current
nikola tesla
adopting the alternating current for electric power transmission
george westinghouse
study of electromagnetic force
electromagnetism
radiation capable of removing electrons from the orbital shell
ionizing radiation
radiation not capable of removing electrons from the orbital shell
non-ionizing radiation
process of removal of electrons from the orbital of an atom
ionizing
temporary removal of electrons
excitation
produced outside the nucleus
