a region in space where a charged object experiences a force
New cards
2
Coulomb's Law
the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges squared
New cards
3
Potential difference
the work done per unit positive charge
New cards
4
Current
the rate of flow of charge
New cards
5
Ohm's Law
Current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor at constant temperature
New cards
6
Resistance
a material's opposition to the flow of electric current
New cards
7
Vector
a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction
New cards
8
Scalar
a physical quantity that has magnitude only
New cards
9
Resultant vector
the single vector which has the same effect as the original vectors acting together
