SCIENCE TERMS DEFINITION PHOTO/ IMAGE

Charge Particles - is a particle with an electric charge.

It may be an ion, such as a molecule
or atom with a surplus or deficit of
electrons relative to protons.
It can also be an electron or a proton,
or another elementary particle,
which are all believed to have the
same charge (except antimatter).

Electric Field -An electric field is a vector field that

shows the direction that a positively
charged particle will move when
placed in the field.
Electric fields are produced around
objects that have
electrical charge, or by a
magnetic field that changes with time.
... The idea of an electric field was
first made by Michael Faraday.

Electricity -is the presence and flow

of electric charge. Using
electricity we can transfer energy in
ways that allow us to accomplish
common chores
. Its best-known form is the flow of
electrons through conductors such as
copper wires. ... It is a form of energy
which we use to power machines and
Electrical devices.

Electric Generator -In electricity generation,

a generator is a device that converts
motive power
(mechanical energy) into
electrical power for use in an
external circuit.

Electric Motor - An electric motor is an

electrical machine that
converts electrical energy into
mechanical energy. Most
electric motors operate through the
interaction between the motor's
magnetic field and electric
current in a wire winding to generate
force in the form of rotation of a shaft.
 Electromagnet -An electromagnet is a magnet that
runs on electricity
. Unlike a permanent magnet, the
strength of an
electromagnet can easily be
changed by changing the amount of
electric current that flows through it. ...
An
electromagnet works because an
electric current produces a magnetic
field.

Electromotive Force -Electromotive Force.

Electromotive force (emf) is a
measurement of the energy that
causes current to flow through a
circuit. It can also be defined as the
potential difference in charge between
two points in a circuit.
Electromotive force is also known
as voltage, and it is measured in volts.

Magnetism -magnetism is a force that can attract

(pull closer) or repel (push away)
objects that have a magnetic material
like iron inside them (magnetic
objects). In simpler words, it is a
property of certain substances which
pull closer or repel other objects.

Magnetic Force -Magnetic force, attraction or

repulsion that arises between
electrically charged particles because
of their motion.The magnetic force
between two moving charges may be
described as the effect exerted upon
either charge by a magnetic field
created by the other.

Magnetic Field Lines -Magnetic field lines are a visual tool

used to represent magnetic fields.
They describe the direction of the
magnetic force on a north monopole
at any given position. ... One useful
analogy is the close connection
between magnetic monopoles and
electric charges.

Electromagnetic -Electromagnetic induction is the

production of voltage or electromotive
Induction force due to a change in the magnetic
field. Electromagnetic induction was
discovered by Michael Faraday in the
1830s. Many electrical components and
types of equipment work based on the
principle of electromagnetic induction.
 Galvanometer -A galvanometer is an
electromechanical instrument used for
detecting and indicating an electric
current. A galvanometer works as an
actuator, by producing a rotary
deflection (of a "pointer"), in response
to electric current flowing through a
coil in a constant magnetic field.
Electric Charges - Electric charge is a basic property
of electrons, protons and other
subatomic particles. Electrons are
negatively charged while protons are
positively charged.Things that have
the same charge push each other
away (they repel each other). This is
called the Law of Charges.
Magnet -A magnet is a very special metal.
When a magnet goes near a special
kind of metal or other magnets, and
the poles (sides) touching are
opposite, it will pull, or attract the other
metal or magnet closer. ... The field of
the "soft" magnet increases with the
current.
Magnetic Domain A magnetic domain is a region within
a magnetic material in which the
magnetization is in a uniform direction.
This means that the individual
magnetic moments of the atoms are
aligned with one another and they
point in the same direction.

Magnetic Field -The magnetic field is the area

around a magnet in which there
is magnetic force. Moving electric
charges can make magnetic fields. ...
In physics, the magnetic field is a
field that passes through space and
which makes a magnetic force move
electric charges and magnetic
dipoles.
Magnetic Poles -Either of the two ends of a magnet at
which the field of the magnet is most
intense. Each pole is designated by
the approximate geographic direction
in which it points, either north or south.
Like magnetic poles repel; opposite
magnetic poles attract. A
geomagnetic pole.
Transformer -A transformer is a device that
transfers electrical energy from one
electrical circuit to another through
mutual (electromagnetic induction)
and without change in frequency.

Electromagnetic Waves -a wave produced by the acceleration of
an electric charge and propagated by
the periodic variation of intensities of,
usually, perpendicular electric and
magnetic fields.

Frequency -equals the number of waves that

passes a given point per second.

Radar -Radar is an acronym for "radio

detection and ranging." A radar
system usually operates in the ultra-
high-frequency (UHF) or microwave part
of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum,
and is used to detect the position and/or
movement of objects.

Radio Receivers -a radio receiver, also known as a

receiver, wireless or simply radio is an
electronic device that receives radio
waves and converts the information
carried by them to a usable form. It is
used with an antenna.

Radio Transmitter -radio transmitter is an electronic

device which produces radio waves with
an antenna. The transmitter itself
generates a radio frequency alternating
current, which is applied to the antenna.
When excited by this alternating current,
the antenna radiates radio waves.

Wavelength -the distance over which the wave's

shape repeats.[1][2] It is the distance
between consecutive corresponding
points of the same phase on the wave,
such as two adjacent crests, troughs,
or zero crossings, and is a characteristic
of both traveling waves and standing
waves, as well as other spatial wave
patterns.

Concave Lens -A concave lens is
a lens that possesses at least
one surface that curves
inwards. It is a diverging
lens, meaning that it spreads
out light rays that have been
refracted through it.

Concave Mirrors -a mirror that is curved

inward in the middle. Incident
angle - the angle at which the
light hits the surface. Real
images - images that are
projected out in front of
the mirror at the place where
the light focuses; can only be
done with a concave mirror.

Convex Lens -A convex lens is thicker at

the centre than at the edges
. Convex lenses are thicker
at the middle. Rays of light
that pass through the lens are
brought closer together (they
converge). A convex lens is a
converging lens.

Convex Mirror -A convex mirror is a

spherical reflecting surface (or
any reflecting surface
fashioned into a portion of a
sphere) in which its bulging
side faces the source of light.
Automobile enthusiasts often
call it a fish eye mirror while
other physics texts refer to it
as a diverging mirror
Plane Mirror A plane mirror is a mirror with
a flat (planar) reflective
surface. For light rays striking a
plane mirror, the angle
of reflection equals the angle of
incidence.[3] The angle of the
incidence is the angle between
the incident ray and the surface
normal (an imaginary line
perpendicular to the surface).

Reflection of Light -Reflection of Light is the

process of sending back
the light rays which falls on
the surface of an object. The
image formed due
to reflection of an object on a
plane mirror is at different
places.
