About Electricity chapter
Answers
Answer:
hey ....here is ur answer.......
.......
1.Positive and negative charges: The charge acquired by a glass rod when rubbed with silk is
called positive charge and the charge acquired by an ebonite rod when rubbed with wool is called negative charge.
2. Coulomb: It is the S.I. unit of charge. One coulomb is defined as that amount of charge which repels an equal and similar charge with a force of 9 x 109 N when placed in vacuum at a distance of 1 meter from it.
Charge on an electron = -1.6 x 10-19 coulomb.
3. Static and current electricities: Static electricity deals with the electric charges at rest while the current electricity deals with the electric charges in motion.
4. Conductor: A substance which allows passage of electric charges through it easily is called a
‗conductor‘. A conductor offers very low resistance to the flow of current. For example copper,silver, aluminium etc.
5. Insulator: A substance that has infinitely high resistance does not allow electric current to flow through it. It is called an ‗insulator‘. For example rubber, glass, plastic, ebonite etc.
6. Electric current: The flow of electric charges across a cross-section of a conductor constitutes an electric current. It is defined as the rate of flow of the electric charge through any section of a conductor. Electric currentharge/Time or I = Q/t Electric current is a scalar quantity.
Electricity chapter is chapter 3 of class 12 physics
Explanation:
- In this chapter we study about resistivity, conductivity of conductors and how these vary with change in temperature
- We also study the circuit having different combination like series, parallel etc
- In this chapter we study about the Kirchhoff's laws used to solve the circuit and also states the conservation of electric charge and electric potential
- This chapter also deals with the impact on charge carriers in any conductor in the presence of electric field
- We also study about the Ohm's law in vector form
- Heating effect is also stated in this chapter and we can calculate the amount of heat or power consumed by any circuit
