E&M and Induction
The energy provided to one coulomb of charge.
What is a Volt?
A term used to describe how electrons only occupy given energy levels.
What is quantized?
Oscillations where the acceleration of vibration is directly proportional to its displacement.
What is Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)?
-kQ/r
What is Electrical Potential?
Energy sources that can not be used up.
A circuit device that has 3 terminals-2 ends and a central connection.
What is a potentiometer?
Following the "Strong Force" this is the second strongest force and always involves a photon as a carrier particle.
What is Electromagnetic Force?
What are simple pendulums?
Lines that map out equal regions of Equipotential Field strengths.
What are Equipotential Lines?
The energy you can extract from a single kilogram of fuel.
What is Specific Energy?
In every closed circuit the sum of the emfs must always equal to the sum of the products of current and resistance. (Assuming no energy loss)
What is Kirchoff's Law?
The time taken for the rate of activity of a particular nuclear sample of nuclides to halve.
What is half life?
The shape of the relative intensity of a wave front vs its angle from a source.
What is Huygen's Principle?
-GM/r
What is Gravitational Field Strength?
A part of a nuclear power plant that slows down neutrons sufficiently to maximize fission reactions.
What is a moderator?
The charge in coulombs in a parallel plate per unit voltage.
What is capacitance?
Particles that mediate between the interaction of masses.
What are Gauge (or exchange) bosons?
The ratio between a wavelength being investigated and the smallest possible observable wavelength difference.
What is Resolvance?
The initial velocity required to leave a gravitational body to a place in space where the gravitational Field strength equals zero.
What is escape velocity?
A diagram which shows how energy is used and transformed in a system.
What is a Sankey Diagram?
The direction of the induced emf is such that if an induced current were able to flow, it would oppose the change which caused it.
What is Lenz's Law?
A Gauge Boson usually produced when positrons and electrons annihilate.
What are photons?
The apparent frequency increase in the spectral pattern of hydrogen do to the motion of the star relative to earth.
What is blue shift?
The gradient of a Gravitational Potential vs orbital distance function.
What is Gravitational Field Strength?
Is a climate process where an initial change in the climate causes some secondary change that in turn increases the effects of the initial change.
What is a positive feedback (loop)?
