Newton’s Law of Gravitation

relative to the earth, distance is


from the radius to the object.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

The Superposition of Forces

Untitled 1
More generally, any number of forces applied at a point on a body have the
same effect as a single force equal to the vector sum of the forces. This
important principle is called superposition of forces.

Unit Consistency & Conversion

Columb’ Law of Electrostatics

Electrostatic forces are stronger


than gravitational forces, but due
to the equal distances between r - distance
opposite charges the effect is
q - charge
balanced.

Electric Charge & Structure of Matter

Untitled 2
Net electric charge in an atom is zero.

If one or more electrons are removed, what


remains is a positive ion.

Electrical Forces and Fields


electric field is the electric force
experienced by a
test charge at the point, divided
by the

charge.

Electrical Forces and Field Lines


Electrical fields are an infinite set The density of electric field lines
of vector quantities, associated is proportional to the strength of
with each point in space. This is a the electric field. This means that
vector field. if the field lines are close
together, the electric field is
Because it’s a vector quantity,
stronger at that point. If the field

directional lines show the


movement of positive charges.

Repulsion of like charges causes


no overlap on charge direction.

The Superposition of Electric Fields

Electromagnetic Fields & Waves

Untitled 4
Electricity and magnetism
are two manifestations of
the same
phenomenon, the
electromagnetic field.

Electric Current

Current is the motion of charge


from one region to another.

In conducting metals, some of the


electrons are free to move
around, so there is random
motion with not net flow of
charge in any direction, hence no
current.

Electric field in a conductor can


be used to subject free electrons
to a steady force.

The electric field is the driver or


current, but the random motion

remains constant.

Current Magnitude and Direction


Current (I) is the movement in the
direction of the flow of positive
charge.

The choice of direction is called


conventional current.

Current can be defined by the net


charge flowing through the cross
sectional area per unit time.
