|
conduction-Heat can travel through a hot object or cooler object
|
Heat conduction or thermal conduction is the spontaneous transfer of thermal energy through matter, from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and hence acts to even out temperature differences.
The thermal energy, in the form of continuous random motion of the particles of the matter, is transferred by the same forces that act to support the structure of matter, so can be said to move by 'physical' contact between the particles. It should be noted that heat can also be transferred by Thermal radiation and/or convection, and often more than one of these processes occur in a particular situation. The law of heat conduction, also known as Fourier's law, states that the time rate of heat transfer through a material is proportional to the negative gradient in the temperature and to the area at right angles, to that gradient, through which the heat is flowing: where Q is the amount of heat transferred, t is the time taken, k is the material's conductivity. (this generally varies with temperature, but the variation can be small over a significant range of temperatures for some common materials.), S is the surface through which the heat is flowing, T is the temperature.

ELECTRICIT AND MAGNETISM
ELECTRICITY |
Protons and Neutrons
Electric charge is the property of electrons and protons. Electrons are said to be negatively charged while protons are said to be positively charged. Electric charge is a "conserved" property, meaning that it behaves like a substance and can be moved from place to place. IO also means that energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from electrical energy (one form) to any other form of energy (like heat, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, etc.) 6,242,000,000,000,000,000 (6.242 x 10^18) electrons or protons make up 1 Coulomb of charge. [change] Examples Electric current is the uniform motion of electric charge. When 1 Coulomb of electrically charged particles move past a point in 1 second, the existing current is 1 Ampere. Electric voltage is the "push" behind the current. It is the amount of work per electric charge that an electric source can do. If a source can do 1 Joule of work on 1 Coulomb of charge, it has a 1 Volt of electric potential. Electric resistance is the ability of a substance to resist the flowing of the current, i.e. to reduce the amount of current that flows through the substance. If an electric voltage of 1 Volt maintains a current of 1 Ampere through a wire, the resistance of the wire is 1 Ohm. When the flow of current is opposed (resisted) energy is gets used or gets converted to other forms (eg. heat, etc.). Electric energy is the ability to do work by means of electric devices. Electric energy is a "conserved" property, meaning that it behaves like a substance and can be moved from place to place. Electric energy is measured in Joules or kilowatt-hours (kwh). Electric energy is the amount of energy that an amount of electricity can produce at a time. Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is being used, stored, or transferred. Flows of electrical energy along power lines are measured in Watts. If the electric energy is being converted to another form of energy, it is measured in Watts. If it is stored (as in electric or magnetic fields), it is measured in Volt-Ampere-Reactive. If some of it is converted and some of it is stored, it is measured in Volt-Amperes. |

CONDUCTORS
|
These are materials in which it is easy to get electrons to move and provide a flow of electric current.
Conductors are mostly metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron and lead. Carbon is a conductor as well as some gases (as in fluorescent tubes) and water containing some chemicals. These are not perfect conductors and offer some resistance to the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor (such as a metal rod) is determined by three things: (1) its length. The longer its length the higher its resistance. (2) its cross-sectional area. The bigger this is the lower is its resistance. (3) the material of which it is made. All materials have RESISTIVITY. The higher the value of resistivity the higher the resistance. It is measured in OHM METERS. length x resistivity Resistance = ------------------------------- cross-sectional area |

INSULATORS
|
Electrical insulation is a material or object that resists the flow of electric current. When a voltage is placed across an insulator, very little current flows. An object intended to support or separate electrical conductors without passing current through itself is called an insulator. An insulator is a material with atoms that have tightly bonded valence electrons and resist the flow of electrical current.
The term electrical insulation has the same meaning as the term dielectric. Some materials such as silicon dioxide or teflon are very good electrical insulators. A much larger class of materials, for example rubber-like polymers and most plastics are still "good enough" to insulate electrical wiring and cables even though they may have lower bulk resistivity. These materials can serve as practical and safe insulators for low to moderate voltages (hundreds, or even thousands, of volts). Electrical insulation is the absence of electrical conduction. Electronic band theory (a branch of physics) predicts that a charge will flow whenever there are states available into which the electrons in a material can be excited. This allows them to gain energy and thereby move through the conductor (usually a metal). If no such states are available, the material is an insulator. Most (though not all, see Mott insulator) insulators are characterized by having a large band gap. This occurs because the "valence" band containing the highest energy electrons is full, and a large energy gap separates this band from the next band above it. There is always some voltage (called the breakdown voltage) that will give the electrons enough energy to be excited into this band. Once this voltage is exceeded, the material ceases being an insulator, and charge will begin to pass through it. However, dielectric breakdown is usually accompanied by physical or chemical changes that permanently degrade the material's insulating properties. Materials which lack electron conduction must also lack other mobile charges as well. For example, if a liquid or gas contains ions, then the ions can be made to flow as an electric current, and the material is a conductor. Electrolytes and plasmas contain ions and will act as conductors whether or not electron flow is involved. [edit] Telegraph and power transmission insulators |

mAGNETISM
|
magnetism, forceof attraction or repulsion between various substances, especially those made of iron and certain other metals; ultimately it is due to the motion of electric charges.
The way nature creates a force on one another, it magnetism the movement of electrical particles |
|
ELECTROMAGNETISM
|
Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field which exerts a force on particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of those particles.
The magnetic field is produced by the motion of electric charges, i.e. electric current. The magnetic field causes the magnetic force associated with magnets. |
