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.”


A positive charge will feel a force with the electric field direction
A 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

Element formation in Stars Nuclear Fusion

Isotopes
Isotopes are versions of an atom or an element that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons



What are Isotopes?




Radioactive Decay
Alpha, Beta & Gamma Radiation



  • Alpha particles are emitted by a larger nucleus that has too many Protons
  • Beta particles are emitted by a nucleus that has too many Neutrons
  • Gamma photons are emitted by a nucleus that has too much Energy (is in an exited state)
