Electricity and Magnetism

AB
One volt equalsone Joule/1 Coulomb
ElectroscopeAn instrument that detects charge
Elementary chargessmallest charges known to exist in nature
ConductionProcess of charging an object by transferring electrons during contact with a charged object.
InductionProcess of charging an object in which a neutral object is attracted to an nearby charged object
PowerRate of doing work. Unit is the Watt
The Watt (W) is equal to1 Joule/1 second
Flow of electron in a wire.Current,(I) unit is the Ampere(A).
1 Ampere(A) is equal to1Coulomb/ 1 second
Ohms's lawV=IR
Unit of resistanceOhm
Unit of potential differenceVolts(V)
Kirchoff's first ruleFor any point in a circuit, the total current arriving at the point must equal the total current leaving it.
Kirchoff's second ruleThe algebraic sum of all the voltage drops and applied voltages around a complete circuit is equal to zero.
Series circuitThere is only one current path
Parallel circuitEach component has its own current path
In a series circuit current(I):Itotal=I1=I2...
In a parallel circuit(I)Itotal=I1+I2+I3...
Magnetic Flux linesImaginary lines of force mapping a magnetic field
PermeabilityCapacity to change the flux density of a magnetic field
