Electric circuits + electrostatics + electromagnetism

Coulomb's Law

The magnitude of the electric force exerted by two point charges (Q1 and Q2) on each other is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Conservation of charge

Charge cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred from one object to another

Electric field

A region in space in which an electric charge experiences a force

Electric field strength at a point

The electrostatic force experienced per unit positive charge placed at this point

Faraday's Law

The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage with the conductor

Magnetic flux

Number of field lines through an area

Electromagnetic induction

Process of producing emf and current

Current

Number of charges flowing past a point in one second

Potential difference

Energy required/work done to move charges in a circuit

Ohms law

The potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the current in the conductor at constant temperature

Power

Rate at which work is done or energy is transferred

Lenz's Law

The current flows to oppose the effect producing it
