Direction For Lorentz Force
Moving charged particles in magnetic field
Prefixes
µ=10^-6
capacitance c
Electric Field E
light wavelength and frequency
Constructive vs destructive interference
Work
Phase changes
- Melting (fusion) & Freezing → “Melt the ice, Freeze the lake.”
- Vaporization & Condensation → “Vapor goes up, Condensation drips down.”
- Sublimation & Deposition → “Sublime snow disappears (solid → gas), Depositing frost appears (gas → solid)”
Poiseuille equation
Flow Rate Q-unit m^3/s instead of m/s
Lorentz Force
Force exerted on an ion in a magnetic field
Continuty Equation
- What flows into a pipe must flow out — unless it’s leaking
- Imagine water flowing through a garden hose:
- the hose is wide, the water flows slowly
Electrostatic force between 2 charged objects
MeV
a unit of energy used in nuclear and particle physics that is equal to one million electronvolts
State function vs process function
4 types of thermodynamic processes
Beta Decay
Columb’s law of eletric force
unit of eletric currents: ampere A
The amount of eletric current that flows one C of charge moves past a point in one second C/s
charge of capacitors
columb’s Law-constant
k=9*10^9
state functions vs process functions
- entropy-state function
- work-process function
adiabatic
no heat transfer
internal energy
convection
- It occurs when warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a cycle.
