Unit 4 Electricity Lesson 1-5 Flashcards

1
Q

What makes something positive, negative, neutral?

A

positive: having a difficiecy in electrons (losing electrons)
negative: having a surplus of electrons (gaining electrons)
neutral: having the same amount of protons and electrons

What happens when charged objects are brought together?

A
  1. electrical charges of like signs repel eachother (++ or –)
  2. electrical charges of opposite signs attract each other (+-)
  3. electricla charges of neutral and charge signs attract each other (+ neutral and - neutral)

Q

triboelectric

explain an electrostatic series

A
  • it is a list of materials ranked by their week or strong tendency to hold onto electrons when rubbed together
  • so substances close to the top of the series are rubbed they will lose their electrons and obtain a positive charge
  • so substances close to the bottom will gain those electrons and obtain a negative charge since the hve a strong hold

Q

explain charging by friction

A
  1. by rubbing, electrons leave the atoms of an object
  2. these elctrons come from one object and go to the other
  3. therefore one object gains electrons and one object loses electrons
  4. you are left with two oposite charges if you started with two neutral

13
Q

explain charging by conduction

A
  1. when a charged object comes in contact with a neutral object, the electric charge is shared by both objects
  2. you are left with two objects wiht the same charges if you started with one charged and one neutral

14
Q

explain charging by induction

A
  1. one charged object and one neutral object
  2. the proximity of the charged obejct causes the charges in the nuetral object to seperate
  3. you are then left with one charged object and one object carrying a partial negative charge on the one side and a partial postive charge

16
Q

what is electric current?

A

the total amount of charge passing through a wire over a period of time

17
Q

current intensity

how is I measured?

A

with an amneter

18
Q

what is the formula for current intensity with each unit of measure?

A

I = q/t (I am a q t)
Current intensity I= Amps (A)
electric charge q = Coulombs (C)
time t = seconds (s)

19
Q

(potential difference)

what is voltage

A

the change in energy between two points in an electrical circuit

20
Q

how is this energy in an electrical circuit given?

A

by a battery or a power supply (outlet)

21
Q

voltage

how is V measured and whats special about it

A
  • with a voltmeter
  • it is connected outside the circuit around the component whose voltage you are measuring
22
Q

what is the formula for voltage with each unit of measure?

A

V= E/q
voltage (V)= volts (V)
electric charge (q) = coulombs (C)
energy (E) = Joules (J)

23
Q

what can resistance be?

A
  • a resistor is a component designed to reduce the current
  • a resistor is also a compnent ina circuit that transforms electrical energy into other types of energy (electrical into thermal)
24
Q

what are resistors?

A
  • they have a ceramic coating with a color -coding bands to indicate the resistance

very tiny

25
Q

how do you read a resistor?

A
  1. the 1st and 2nd band give you the first 2 digits
  2. the 3rd band is the exponent on ten by which the 2 first digits are multiplied by
  3. the 4th band is the tolerance of the resistor (+or-%) (5% = 0.05)
    IT WILL BE IN A RANGE
26
Q

how do you calculate resistance and its units of measure

A

R = V/I
Resistance (R)= Ohms (Ω)
Voltage (V)= volts (V)
current intensity (I) = Amps (A)
