ELECTRIC FIELD



1. Definition
 Electric field is the area around the electric charge where the charged particles in it experience electrostatic force.

2. Formula 


3. Important Figure

 James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish physicist who examined Faraday's ideas concerning the link between electricity and magnetism interpreted in terms of fields of force, Faraday had shown that when a wire moves within the field of a magnet, it causes an electric current to flow along the wire. Maxwell took Faraday's experimental discoveries in the field of electromagnetism and provided a mathematical explanation, which outlined the relationship between magnetic and electric fields. He published his 'Dynamical Theory of the Magnetic Field' in 1864 and in 1873 he published 'Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism'.

4. Uses in Everyday Life

 Faraday cages are built by taking a conducting material and forming an enclosure, as shown in the picture above, the person inside the cage is protected from the static electric discharge that would usually harm them. The Faraday cage is able to do this because it distributes the electric charges within the conducting material when an external electric field hits it, the distributed electric charges cancel the effect of the field inside the cage. There are several examples of Faraday cages that we can see in everyday life, such as elevators with a conducting frame and a microwave oven.

    Maybe you should give more examples or application, but in shorter explaination. Nice work tho. I like the theme

RESISTANCE AND RESISTIVITY

Image
1. Definition    The resistance of a component is a measure of the opposition an electric current experiences when it flows through the component. The resistance (R) of a component is the ration of the potential difference (V) across it to the current (I) flowing through it.    Aside from temperature, the resistance (R) of a conductor also depends on: Its length Its cross-sectional area (A) or thickness The type of material it is made of 2. Formula Resistance Formula Where: I stands for electric current (A) V stands for the potential difference (Volt) R stands for resistance (Ω) Resistivity Formula Where: R stands for resistance (Ω) ρ stands for resistivity (Ωm) A stands for cross sectional area (m²) L stands for length (m) 3. Important Figure    Georg Ohm (1789-1854) was a German physicist, he is best known for his "Ohm's Law" which states that the current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the p

ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

Image
1. Definition    Electric potential is the magnitude of the electric potential energy for each charge. 2. Formula     Where: V is the electric potential (Volt) k is a constant with a value of  8.99 x 10 9 N m 2 /C 2   q is the charge of each object (C) r is the distance between the charges (m) 3. Important Figure        Alessandro Volta was a physicist, chemist, and a pioneer of electrical science. He is most famous for his invention of the electric battery. He discovered that electric potential in a capacitor is directly proportional to electric charge and in recognition of Volta's contribution to science, the unit of electric potential is called the volt. 4. Uses in Everyday Life    A battery powered electric circuit has locations of high and low potential. A charge moving through the circuit will experience charges in electric potential as it moves locations. In a battery there is an electric field established between the two termina

KIRCHOFF'S LAW

Image
1. Definition    Kirchhoff's laws quantify how current flows through a circuit and how voltage varies around a loop in a circuit. Kirchhoff's 1st law states that current flowing into a node (or a junction) must be equal to    current flowing out of it. This is a consequence of charge conservation. Kirchhoff's 2nd law states that the sum of all voltages around any closed loop in a circuit must equal zero. This is a consequence of charge conservation and also conservation of energy. 2. Formula Where: I stands for the electric current (A) Where: V stands for voltage (Volt) I stands for electric current (A) 3. Important Figure    Gustav Kirchhoff was a famous German physicist born in 1824. Gustav Kirchhoff studied mathematical physics at Albertus University of Konigsberg, graduating in 1847. In 1845, Kirchhoff extended Ohm's work by developing a method to understand and predict the behavior of much more complex circuits. Kirchhoff'
