Current
Current is the rate of flow of Charge

I = Δq/Δt

Current

Voltage
Voltage (Potential Difference) is the change in energy (work done) to each coulomb of charge between two points on a circuit, or two points across an electric field

Term 3 Week 2 2020

Homework:

  • Ex 6A, p. 188-196, Static Electric Fields F=Eq, E=V/d, Ep=Vq & Ep=Eqd



Basics of Electric Charge


Definition of an Electric Field:
“Any region of space where a charge feels a force.”


positive charge will feel a force with the electric field direction
negative charge will feel a force against the electric field direction

Fe = Eq

Electric Field

Electric Potential (Voltage)

What is Voltage?

Uniform Electric Field
E = V/d

Uniform Electric Fields

Uniform Electric Field

E = V/d

E: Electric Field (Vm-1 or NC-1 depending on the context
used)

Electric Force

Fe = Eq
Fe: Electrical Force (N)
q or Q: Charge (C)


Electrical Potential Energy
As the charge falls through the Electric Field, the electrical potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.
Ek = Ep
½ mv2 = Vq

Term 2 Week 11 2020

Homework

  • Ex 5A, p. 151-155, Models of the Atom
  • Ex 5B, p. 160-171, Radioactivity
  • Ex 5C, p. 175-182, Nuclear Reactions

Nuclear Reactions:
  • Conservation of Atomic Number
  • Conservation of Nucleon Number
  • Conservation of Mass-Energy E = Δmc2

E = Δmc2




Nuclear Fusion in the Sun

Binding Energy comes from the change in mass from individual nucleons to being combined into a nucleus. This is energy lost by the nucleons joined together in a nucleus and must be returned in order to separate the nucleons
E = Δmc2
