CHAPTER 2: ELECTRICITY
Charge, Q
Current, I
Potential difference, V
SI unit :ampere, A
WORK DONE in moving one coulomb of charge from one point to another
in an electric field
V= energy,E/Q
SI unit :Volt, V
Electric field
Circuit
Resistance, R
unit : ohm,
Superconductor
Electromotiveforce
(e.m.f.)
Power rating
PRINCIPLE
Ohms Law
Ohms law states that the electric current, I flowing through a conductor
is directly proportional to the potential difference across the ends of
conductor, if temperature and other physical conditions remain constant.
That is, V
I
CHAPTER 3: ELECTROMAGNETISM
Electromagnet
Magnetic field
Radial field
MAGNETIC FIELD with the field lines pointing towards or away from the
centre of a circle.
Electromagnetic
induction
Transformer
PRINCIPLE
Flemings Left Hand
Rule
Forefinger, second finger, and the thumb of left hand are extended at
90to each other
-forefinger in direction of magnetic field
-second finger in direction of current
-thumb in direction of force, F / motion
Faradays Law
Lenzs Law
Lenzs law states that an induced electric current always flows in such a
direction so as to oppose the change (or motion) producing it
