24
Q

passes by the edge of an object

A

Diffraction

25
Total amount of charge in universe
Constant
26
Electric field lines show
* direction of the force * indicate its relative magnitude
27
Voltage is defined as
the change in electric potential energy per charge as charge q moves from A to B | potential energy per unit charge
28
If charge moves in the direction it would normally move in the presence of electric field, the potential energy is
decreasing
29
If you move the charge in the opposite direction of the electric force, the potential energy is
increasing
30
Electrical capacitance is
the ability to store charge | Capacitance = charge / volts
31
Electric current is defined as
I = Q/t | Charge flowing per second
32
Anything in the circuit that impedes the current is called
Resistance
33
Ohms Law
V=IR
34
How do you calculate Resistance in series?
Sum of all the resistances
35
How do you sum the resistance in parallel?
36
Power is defined as
Current x Voltage | or Energy / time
37
How do you calculate capacitance in series?
38
How do you calculate capacitance in parallel?
Sum of the capacitances
39
In ____ the magnetic effects of the electrons do not fully cancel each other out, atoms then are like tiny magnets.
ferromagnetic materials
