ELECTRICITY & MAGNETISM

LAW OF ELECTRIC CHARGES

STATES THAT LIKE CHARGES REPEL, OR PUSH AWAY FROM ONE ANOTHER

ELECTRIC FORCE

A FORCE BETWEEN CHARGED OBJECTS

Electric field-
a region around a charged object in which an electric force is exerted on another object

Objects can be charged by:

  • Friction-when electrons are wiped from one object to another
  • Conduction-electrons move from one object to another
  • Induction-charges are rearranged without direct contact

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR

MATERIAL IN WHICH CHARGES MOVE FREELY

ELECTRICAL INSULATOR

MATERIAL IN WHICH CHARGES CANNOT MOVE EASILY

STATIC ELECTRICITY

ELECTRIC CHARGE AT REST ON AN OBJECT

ELECTRIC DISCHARGE

LOSS OF STATIC ELECTRICITY AS CHARGES MOVE OFF OF AN OBJECT

ELECTRIC CURRENT

RATE AT WHICH CHARGES PASS A GIVEN POINT

VOLTAGE

THE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2 POINTS

VOLTAGE IS A MEASURE OF HOW MUCH WORK

IS NEEDED TO MOVE A CHARGE BETWEEN 2 POINTS.

RESISTANCE

OPPOSITION TO THE FLOW OF ELECTRIC CHARGE

GOOD CONDUCTORS HAVE LOW RESISTANCE, WHILE

POOR CONDUCTORS HAVE HIGHER RESISTANCE.

Resistance also depends on temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the resistance of a metal.

CIRCUIT IN WHICH LOADS ARE CONNECTED SIDE-BY-SIDE

MAGNET

ANY MATERIAL THAT ATTRACTS IRON, OR THINGS MADE OF IRON

MAGNETIC FORCE

WHEN YOU BRING 2 MAGNETS CLOSE TOGETHER, THE MAGNETS EXERT THIS

As electrons move around, it makes, or induces a magnetic field.

A magnet will have 2 ends--the south end and north end of a magnet.

There are 2 types of magnets:

  • Temporary magnets-made from materials that are easy to magnetize (ex. iron)
  • Permanent magnets-are magnets that are difficult to magnetize & stay magnetized for a long time (ex. alloy metals--aluminum, cobalt, nickel)

The Earth is 1 big magnet!

  • The north and south poles (a compass needle points north because the magnetic pole of the Earth is closest to the south pole)
  • The Aurora Borealis is an electrical light show with electrical charges!

SOLENOID

A COIL OF WIRE THAT PRODUCES A MAGNETIC FIELD WHEN CARRYING A CURRENT

ELECTROMAGNETISM

INTERACTION BETWEEN ELECTRICITY & MAGNETISM
Photo by Alfredo Louro

An electromagnet is made up of a solenoid wrapped around an iron core.
