What are two types of magnets?
|
those found in nautrally/
loadstone those that are made synthetically/magnetite. |
|
What are the three particles atoms consist of?
|
Protons, Neutrons, Electrons
|
|
Protons:
|
bears a postive charge and reside in the atoms nucleus
|
|
Neutrons:
|
reside also in the neucleus; they do not carry a distinctive charge and therefore are classifed as neutral.
|
|
Electrons:
|
which exhibit a negative charge , but orbits around the neuclus of the atom.
|
|
Electromagnetics:
|
wires coiled to increase the power of magnetic fields
|
|
What are the two varieties of electricty?
|
Static and Current
|
|
Static Electricity:
|
is present when an imbalance of positive and negative particles exists between two forms of matter.
|
|
Current Electricity:
|
is created by the passage of charged particles (electrons) on departing one atom for another.
An electrical circuit is an unbroken path along which an electrical current may securely flow. |
|
Any material allowing for the smooth flow of charged particles is known as a ________.
|
Conductor
|
|
Alternating Current (AC):
|
When the flow across a conductor is seen to alternate-or travel in one direction for a part of cycle and reverse for the remainder.
|
|
Direct Current (DC):
|
Current flowing in only one acknowledged direction
|
|
Current Elecricity:
|
steady stream of electrons from atom to atom
|
|
Static Electricity:
|
Unequal Postive & negative particles; creates a flow of electricity.
|
|
Flux:
|
field around particles that cause attraction & repulsion; typical two poles-north & south.

|
|
How many poles are there if electrons pass through a straight wire?
|
One pole.
|
|
How do we do to generate two poles?
|
coling a wire tightly allows for 2 poles; not magnetic until electrons flow--Audio and video recordings.
|
|
Circuit:
|
unbroken path current travels to produce work.
|
|
What type of current is easy to distribute?
|
AC (Alternating Current).
|
|
Alternating Current can be ______________.
|
Transformed and convertible.
|
|
What century did the DC electricity come into pan?
|
19th century.
|
|
Who improved the the efficiency capabilities of existing DC equipment?
|
Nichola Tesla
|
|
Who supported AC? Who supported DC?
|
Nichola Tesla; Thomas Edison.
|
|
How did Thomas Eddsion bash AC electricty?
|
He electrocuted to prove that AC was dangerous.
|
|
Cycle:
|
is the amount of times electrons change direction in a given timeframe.
|
|
What is the AC cycle is the U.S? How is it understood?
|
60Hz; 60 conversions per second.
|
|
What did Nichola Tesla establish the most efficient pace to execute AC production.
|
60Hz
|
|
What was Europe's standard cycle ? Why?
|
50hz because it is more compatible with the meteric system.
|
|
What is the common residential voltage electrical outlets feature in the U.S?
|
120-volt
|
|
How is one sine of wave of AC traveling channels, oscillating from levels of -170 to 170 volts, classified as?
|
Single Phase Power.
|
|
What is the average Single Phase power?
|
120 volts.
|
|
What is RMS and what does it stand for?
|
The Root-Mean-Square is a strength rating average of at 120 volts.
|
|
What do the smaller of the upper two vertical slots of an outlet designate? How much do this slot feed?
|
"HOT" ; 120-volt AC signal to the device plugged in.
|
|
What does the longer of the two vertical slot designate?
|
The longer slot is electrically "neutral" amd provides an open electrical pass from the appliance pluf to the electricity source, eventually linking to the ground at the electrical panel.
|
|
What is the single round port on the outlet?
|
The "gound", which basically grounds a current crucial for overall safety; a hazardous device that can defuse electricity into the Earth.
