RADPRO HUHU Flashcards
is the science of stationary electric charges
Electrostatics
–is the science of electric charges in motion.
Electrodynamics
is a means of transferring electric potential energy from one position to another.
Electromagnetic induction
describes how electrons are given electric potential energy (voltage) and how electrons in motion create magnetism.
Electromagnetism
Electric energy is supplied to the x-ray imaging system in the form of well-controlled
electric current.
Electric charge comes in discrete units that
positive or negative
the smallest units of electric charge.
PROTON AND ELECTRON
1c is equal to hoy many columb
6.3 𝑥 1018 electron charges
Removal of these electrons electrifies the substances from which they were removed and results in
static electricity.
An object is said to be ____ if it has too few or too many electrons.
electrified
what law states that Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.
1st
what law states The force exerted between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their strengths
2
what law states The force exerted between two point charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
3
what law states The force exerted between two point charges is inversely proportional to the absolute permittivity of the surrounding medium.
4
the direction of the energy field of a positive charge
outward
the direction of the energy field of a negative charge
inward
the force of attraction between unlike charges or repulsion between like charges is attributable to the electric field.
Electrostatic force
the electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the electrostatic charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
