Basic Circuitry Flashcards
(65 cards)
___ is a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles
(such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or
dynamically as a current. I
Electricity
It is a secondary energy source that can be generated
from primary sources such as fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewable resources like
sunlight, wind, and hydropower
Electricity
is the flow of electric charge
electricity
It is a fundamental aspect of physics and a versatile form of energy
used to power various devices and systems in our everyday lives.
Electricity
Unit of measure for electric charge
coulomb
unit for the floe of electric charge
amperes
unit for the force that drives the electric charge
volts
unit of resistance opposes the flow of electric current
ohms
2 types of electricity
- static electricity
- dynamic electricity
is the result of an imbalance between negative
and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or
discharged.
Static electricity
is the flow of electric charges through a
conductor; in other words, an electric current.
Dynamic electricity
Electrification of objects occurs when they gain a net __ or a net __
positive charge; negative charge.
An object may be electrified in 3 ways:
- friction
- conduction
- induction
When two objects are rubbed together, electrons may transfer from one object to the other.
The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while the object that loses electronsbecomes positively charged.
Friction
electrification through friction: The object that gains electrons becomes ___, while the object that loses electrons
becomes ____
negatively charged;positively charged
When a charged object comes into direct contact with a neutral object, electrons transfer between them. This results in the neutral object acquiring the same type of charge as the charged object.
Conduction
conduction results in the neutral object acquiring the ____ type of charge as the charged object.
same
In this method, a charged object is brought near a neutral object without touching it.
This causes a redistribution of charges within the neutral object, creating regions of opposite charges.
Induction
is the study of stationary or resting electric charges
Electrostatics
is the attractive or repulsive force between two electrically charged objects
electrostatic force
Principles of electrostatics: the electrostatic force between two charges is ____ proportional to the product of their quantities and ___ proportional to the square of the distance between them (Coulomb’s law)
directly;inversely
is the steady flow of electric charges or the flow of electros from atom to atom
Dynamic electricity
Dynamic electricity is more commonly known as the
electric current or electricity
Electrons in the more remote orbitals experience ___force of attraction from the nucleus and are also repelled by other electrons, and so are said to be more ___ bound.
Electrons in the more remote orbitals experience LESSforce of attraction from the nucleus and are also repelled by other electrons, and so are said to be more loosely bound.
