    Week 9 Term 2 2023

     Homework:

    • Act 17A, p.192-194, Electric Fields
    • Ex 6A, p.188-196, Static Electric Fields



    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

    Week 6 Term 2 2023

      Homework

    • Act 15A, p.173-176 Models of the Atom and Radioactivity
    • Ex 5A, p. 151-155 Models of the Atom
    • Act 16A, p. 181, Nuclear Reactions
    • Ex 5B, p.160-171 Radioactivity

    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
