unit 3 Flashcards
electric field strength
force acting per unit positive charge placed at that point
how much is 1eV in J
1eV = 1.6 x 10^-19
what is the electrostatic potential
at a point is the work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point
whats the electrostatic potential at infinity
0
what is ferromagnetism
in which the magnetic dipoles of the atoms can be made to line up in regions called magnetic domains, resulting in the material illustrating or having the ability to become magnetised
what is magnetic induction
one tesla is the magnetic induction of a magnetic field in which a conductor of length one metre, carrying a current of one ampere perpendicular to the field, is acted on by a force by one newton
the size of the magnetic induction depends on
the current in the wire
the distance from the wire
