Q

What’s magnitude of force vs just the force

A

1) asking for just the number

2) asking for number and if it’s attracting or repelling

Q

If Mr.Morochnik gives the charge as 5C what do I have to do?

What if it was 5q

A

1) keep it as 5c because that’s the unit for electrical charge
2) then you would have to multiply it by the electron charge

Q

Current units

A

A

Can be written as A or amp

17
Q

Three things resistance depends on

A

1) rho ρ - resistivity
2) length L - the longer something is the more the electrons have to travel = harder vice versa
3) Area A - the wider something is less resistance - vice versa

18
Q

Unit of measurement for resistance

A

Ω

19
Q

Ohms Law

A

R= V/I or V= IR
(Higher folate more resistance vice versa)
(More current less resistance vice versa)

20
Q

Unit for restivity

A

Ω • m

21
Q

current in a series circuit is____

why

A

same bc it has no where to go (CONSTANT)

22
Q

current (I) in a parallel circuit is ____

why

A

no contant

bc they split up and @ the end they add up

23
Q

When finding the resitance for parallel what mut u do to teh answer

A

flipppppp

24
Q

The longer something is the ____ electrons have to travel = ____

Vice versa

A

More = harder
Vice versa
The shorter something is the less electrons have to travel = easier

25
Q

Area
The wider something is ____ resistance
Vice versa

A

Less

Thinner = more resistance

26
Q

Higher voltage ___ resistance

Vice versa

A

More

Lower = less

27
Q

More current = ___ restance

Vice versa

A

Lesss

Less current = more resistance
