Electric Field
A region of space which will cause a charged parcel to feel a force
1 of 34
Electric Field Lines
They show the direction in which a POSITIVELY charged particle will be pushed by the force the field produces
2 of 34
Uniform Fields
An electric field where the field strength is constant & the electric field lines are equally spaced
3 of 34
Equipotentials
Locations which all have the same potential and can be connected by lines
4 of 34
Force of a uniform electric field
F = EQ = am
5 of 34
How rapidly the potential changes
E = V/d
6 of 34
Kinetic energy of charged particle
E (Kinetic) = VQ (NOT GIVEN)
7 of 34
Radial Fields
Fields created by charged particles
8 of 34
Charged particles interaction
F=(kQ1Q2)/(r^2) --> Force depends on charge and distance from the centre of the particle
9 of 34
Prematurity of free space
Measure of *** easy it is for an electric field to pass through a space
10 of 34
Electric Field Strength
E = (kQ)/(r^2)
11 of 34
Storing charge in a capacitor
Energy can be made to flow in an incomplete circuit. Since electrons cannot cross gaps in between plates, it builds up a negative terminal. the opposite terminal will flow to the positive side of the battery, making it the positive terminal.
12 of 34
Charge in a capacitor
Q = CV (C in Farads (F))
13 of 34
Capacitance depends on...
Size of plates, their separation and the nature of the insulator in between
14 of 34
Energy stored in a capacitor
E = 1/2 x QV (other forms can be made using Q=CV)
15 of 34
Then the Capacitor is charging:
Current = Exponential decay, Voltage and Charge Ln Growth
16 of 34
Then the Capacitor is discharging:
Current, Voltage and Charge = Exponential decay
17 of 34
Time constant
Time it takes for current to DROP TO 37%. T=RC (NOT GIVEN)
18 of 34
Discharging Capacitor
Q=Q(0)e^(-t/RC) (other forms changing Q for V or I)
19 of 34
Magnetic Fields
They affect magnetic poles. A region of space which causes a magnetic pole to feel a force
20 of 34
Magnetic Field Lines
From N to S (Remember it with gravity). AKA Magnetic Flux.
21 of 34
Strengths of magnetic field
Magnetic Flux Density (B) = (Measured in Teslas)
22 of 34
Magnetic fields and charged particles
Magnetic fields exert a force on charged particles when the are MOVING
23 of 34
Flux density
BAsinx
24 of 34
Motor effect
Wire carrying a current in a magnetic field feels a force. This force is greatest when they are at perpendicular
25 of 34
Strength force in Mag. Field
F = BILsinx
26 of 34
Motor effect depends on
Current, Turns of wire & magnetic density
27 of 34
Force on a charged particle moving across a magnetic field
F = BqvSinx
28 of 34
EM induction
Movement of charged particle causes a force. Newton 3rd law. electrons feel a force making them move through a wire. E.m.f Induced.
29 of 34
Flux Linkage
Amount of flux interacting with a coil of wire. Flux Linkage = NBA (measured in Wb-turns)
30 of 34
Faraday's Law
The magnitude of the emf induced is proportional to the rate of change of flux linkage
31 of 34
Lenz's Law
Direction of an induced emf is such as to oppose the charge creating it
32 of 34
Faraday's and Lenz's Law combined
emf = (dNBA)/(dt)
33 of 34
Flemings right hand rule
Same as left rule but, second finger is emf induced
