Chapter 3 | Electricity and Magnetism

Electricity and Magnetism

Manifestations of a single underlying electromagnetic force

Electricity

Happens when charges move, creating electric fields.

Electric Fields

What is created when charges move?

Magnetism

Happens when charges move or spin creating magnetic fields

Magnetic Fields

What happens when charges move or spin?

Electricity

Movement of tiny particles called electrons

Electrons

What are the tiny particles that move to cause electricity?

Electricity

The flow of energy that makes devices work

Static and Current Electricity

What are the two types of electricity

Electrostatics

The study of stationary electric charges

Electrostatics

The study of distribution of fixed charges

Stationary Electric Charges and Distribution of Fixed Charges

What is studied in electrostatics?

Electric Potential

Measured in Volts

Volts

The potential energy per unit charge (Joules/Coulomb)

Electric Current

Measured in Ampere

Ampere

Is one Coulomb of electric charge flowing per second (Coulomb/s)

Electric Charge

Positive or Negative

Electron and Proton

What are the smallest units of electric charge?

Electric Charge

Is the fundamental Unit (S.I)

Coulomb (C)

What is the International Standard unit for Electric Charge?

Electrification

Transfer or movement of an electron from one object to another

Friction, Contact, Induction

Electrification is created by:

Friction

When one object is rubbed together against each other

Rubbed, Against

Friction is when objects are together, each other

Contact

When 2 objects touch permitting electrons to move from one to another

Touch

Contact is when 2 objects _, permitting electrons to move to one another

Induction

The process of electrical fields acting on another without contact

Electrical Fields, Without

Induction is the process of , acting on another _contact

Electrified Object

If object has too few or too many electrons, which gives it an electric charge

Electric Ground

The object that behaves as a reservoir for stray electric charges

Reservoir

Electric ground is the objects that behaves as a _ for stray electric charges
