Chapter 7- ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM

1. ELECTROSTATICS
- Electric charge in static condition
- Electric charge Positive
Negative

2. ELECTROSCOPE
- Used for the detection of electrical charges
- If two charged objects are held close to each other,
there are forces between them
- Like charge repel. Unlike charges attract

3. ELECTRICITY
- The flow of electrons produces an electric current.
- Electron flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal
- Current flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal

4. ELECTRIC CURRENT, VOLTAGE, AND RESISTENCE

a. Current (I)
- Current is measured using an ammeter
- The SI unit of electric current is Ampere (A).
- Ammeter must be connected in series with an electric source or component for
measuring the electric current that flows in the circuit.

b. Voltage (V)
- Voltage is the electric force needed to move electron between two points
- Voltage is measured using a voltmeter
- Voltmeter must be connected in parallel across an electric source or component for
measuring the voltage of the electric source or component
 c. Resistance (R)

- Resistance is materials that prevents or resists the flow of electrons through the
material
- The SI unit for resistance is Ohm (Ω)

Ohm’s Law state that the current flowing through a conductor is directly
proportional to its voltage if the resistance remain constant

5. MAGNETISM AND ELECTROMAGNETISM

- A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where its magnetic force act
- Magnetic field lines run from the north pole to the south pole of a magnet
- Electromagnetism is the magnetic effect produced by a current in a conductor.
- the direction of the magnetic field can be determined by using the Right-Hand Grip
