And electric field sets up between them
Can we find the voltage of these plates? How?
Yes, If you know the electric field strength and the distance between the plates you can use V = Ed
What is the formula for storing energy in a capacitor?

What is the total capacitance of the circuit to the left?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

How much energy is stored in this capacitor.


What is the formula for Ohm’s law?
V = IR
What does the voltage do in a series circuit? Parallel?
Individual voltages add up to the total in a series and are equal to the total in a parallel
What does the current do in a series circuit? Parallel?
Individual currents are equal to the total in a series and add up to the total in a parallel
What is the basic electrical formula for Power?
P=VI

The picture above represents? A battery with internal resistance

What does the VT represent graphically?
It is usually plotted on the y-axis

What does the ε represent graphically?
The y- intercept of the graph. It is the emf or the MAXIMUM voltage OR the voltage when the current is equal to ZERO, thus being the y-intercept.

What does the I represent graphically?
I ,or the current, is plotted on the x-axis
The maximum current occurs when the Y=0
What does “r” represent?
The "internal" resistance of the battery

The velocity in m/s
According to the Right Hand Rule(RHR), does the palm represent and include units?
The force in Newtons
The left hand is used  for what type of particle? Right hand?
Right hand for proton, left hand for electron, right hand for wires and rods

 What is the unit for a magnetic field?
TESLA
When particles move into a magnetic area, the shape of their path often resembles a ?
A circle

If the electrons were in a wire, would you use F = qvb? If not, what formula is appropriate?

NO!!!!

For there to be Magnetic Flux, there must be a changing ____AREA___________ ______________.

What is the formula for Magnetic Flux?

How do you find the voltage in a Rod or a coil of wire? Show me two ways!

A long, straight wire is in the same plane as a rectangular, conducting loop.  The wire carries a constant current I as shown in the figure.  Which one of the following statements is true if the wire is suddenly moved toward the loop?
Pointing thumb in the direction of current we see that the wire's magnetic field goes INTO the page where the loop is located, thus the loop's magnetic field must be OUT of the page inside the loop. Using our right hand, we place our fingers out of the page and wrap arounf the loop to discover the current goes counter-clockwise. Answer = D
 A) There will be no induced emf and no induced current.
 B) There will be an induced emf, but no induced current.
 C) There will be an induced current that is clockwise around the loop.
 D) There will be an induced current that is counterclockwise around the loop.
 E) There will be an induced electric field that is clockwise around the loop.
