Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Electrostatics and Electric Charge

  • Frictional electricity or static electricity is the charge developed on a body when rubbed with another body.
  • Thales of Miletus observed that amber rubbed with wool attracts light materials like feathers, dust, lint, and leaves.
  • The Greek name for amber, electrum, gave the words electricity, electric charge, electric force, and electron.
2

2. Coulomb's Law and Electrostatic Potential

  • Coulomb's law gives the force between two point charges.
  • The force increases when either charge increases.
  • The force decreases when the distance between charges increases.
3

3. Electric Current, Cell, and Charge Flow

  • Electric current is the charge flowing through a conductor per unit time.
  • A current-carrying conductor contains free electrons.
  • Free electrons move randomly at high speed, but this random motion is not current.
4

4. Resistance, Ohm's Law, and Resistors

  • Resistance is the opposition offered to the flow of electric current.
  • Ohm's law states that current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it if temperature remains constant.
  • Resistance depends on length, thickness, width, and material.
