Define magnetic flux
The magnetic flux is the flux of a magnetic field through a specific area.
What is Faraday’s law of induction
The induced emf in a conducting circuit is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage working the circuit l
What is Lenz’s Law?
An induced electric current flows in a direction such that current opposes the change that induced it
What is self-inductance
Self-inductance allows us to store electric energy temporarily as magnetic energy in an inductor, changing the dynamic behavior of circuits
What is Gauss’s law
Gauss’s law states that the electric flux through a closed surface of volume V is proportional to the electric charge contained in V
What is an equipotential surface?
A surface where the electric potential is the same at every point
What is capacitance
The amount of charge that can be stored at a given voltage by a capacitor.
