ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM, Physics, Pre-exam Course Lecture 1

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM

System of Units
  • Systeme International (SI)
  • 7 base units: kilogram, meter, second, ampere, kelvin, candela, mole
  • Derived units
  Electrical Forces and Fields
•          Charge measured in Coulomb  (C)
•            F = kq1q2/r2
•            with q1 and q2 charges, r the distance between
•            charges, and k a constant
•            E = F/q
•            Electrical Forces on Charge, F = Eq

Electrical Current
•          SI unit   ampere
•                          I = q/t


Electrical Potential Difference
•          Voltage:   V = E / q  measured in volt (V)
with E the electrical potential energy in joule (J)
•            1 volt  =  1 joule per coulomb
•            Electron-volt (eV):  Kinetic energy obtained by an electron accelerated across potential difference of one volt
•            1 eV  =  1.602 Í 10-19 J

Electrical Power
•          SI unit – watt (W)
•         1W  =  1 joule per second
•          P = VI


Direct and Alternating Current
•          Normal household use single phase 220 V AC

Conductors
•             Resistance
•            R = V/I or V = IR
•            Ohm’s Law
•            SI unit   ohm (W)

Magnetic Forces and Fields
•          Magnetic fields caused by moving electrical charges
•         Two poles: North and South
•         Magnetic dipole

Magnetic Forces and Fields
•          SI unit, magnetic field strength, tesla (T)

Electromagnetic Induction
•           Michael Faraday
•            Changing magnetic field induces PD
•            Lenz’s Law:   magnetic field opposes the inducing field


Electromagnetic Induction
•          Self Induction
•          Mutual Induction

Magnetic Properties of Matter
•          Diamagnetic Materials
•            Individual electrons orbiting nucleus give rise to magnetic fields too small to measure
•            Paramagnetic Materials
•            Ferromagnetic Materials
•            Iron, nickel and cobalt
•            Magnetic Domains
