Define electric current.
Click to flip
Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes (A).
Click to flip
What is Ohm's Law?
Click to flip
Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, expressed as V = IR.

Describe the concept of an electric field.
Click to flip
An electric field is a region around a charged particle where a force would be exerted on other charged particles, defined as E = F/q.
Click to flip
What is the function of a capacitor in circuits?
Click to flip
A capacitor stores electrical energy in an electric field, and releases it at a later time in the circuit.
Click to flip
How is resistance measured and what is its unit?
Click to flip
Resistance is measured as the opposition to current flow in a material, with the unit ohm (Ω).
Click to flip
Explain Faraday's Law of Induction.
Click to flip
Faraday's Law of Induction states that a change in magnetic flux through a circuit induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the circuit.
Click to flip
What is the purpose of a transformer?
Click to flip
A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction, typically to change voltage levels.
Click to flip
Define magnetic flux.
Click to flip
Magnetic flux is the measure of the quantity of magnetism, taking into account the strength and extent of a magnetic field, through a given area.
Click to flip
What is Coulomb's Law?
Click to flip
Coulomb's Law quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles, stating it is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Click to flip
What is the difference between AC and DC current?
Click to flip
AC (alternating current) changes direction periodically, while DC (direct current) flows in one direction continuously.
Click to flip
Explain the concept of electromagnetic waves.
Click to flip
Electromagnetic waves are waves of electric and magnetic fields oscillating at right angles to each other and the direction of wave propagation.
Click to flip
What is the Lorentz force?
Click to flip
The Lorentz force is the force on a charged particle moving through a magnetic and electric field, given by F = q(E + v × B).
Click to flip
How do conductors and insulators differ?
Click to flip
Conductors allow electric charges to flow easily, while insulators resist electric charges from flowing.
Click to flip
What role do semiconductors play in electronics?
Click to flip
Semiconductors have electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators and are used in electronic components like diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits.
Click to flip
Describe the principle of superposition in electric fields.
Click to flip
The principle of superposition states that the total electric field created by multiple sources is the vector sum of the individual fields created by each source.
