Card 1Electric Charge Basics

What is electric charge and what is its fundamental unit?

Answer

Electric charge is a fundamental property of all matter, just like mass and length. Every atom contains electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged). The fundamental unit of electri

Card 2Charge Measurement

How many electrons are present in one coulomb of charge?

Answer

Using the relationship q = ne, where q = 1 C and e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C: n = q/e = 1 / (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) = 6.25 × 10¹⁸ electrons This means one coulomb contains approximately 6.25 × 10¹⁸ electrons. This large

Card 3Electrostatic Forces

What happens when you rub a plastic comb on dry hair?

Answer

When you rub a plastic comb on dry hair, electrons transfer from your hair to the comb. The comb becomes negatively charged (gains electrons) and develops the power to attract small pieces of paper. Y

Card 4Electrostatic Forces

Distinguish between like charges and unlike charges in terms of forces.

Answer

Like Charges: Charges with the same sign (both positive or both negative) repel each other. For example, two positively charged balloons push away from each other. Unlike Charges: Charges with opposi

Card 5Electric Field Concept

What is an electric field and how is it represented?

Answer

An electric field is the region around a charged object where another charged object experiences an electric force. Electric fields are represented by lines called 'electric lines of force' with arrow

Card 6Charge Units and Measurement

Calculate the charge measurement: What are micro coulomb (μC), nano coulomb (nC), and pico coulomb (pC)?

Answer

Practical charge measurement units (since 1 coulomb is very large): Micro coulomb: 1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C = 0.000001 C Nano coulomb: 1 nC = 10⁻⁹ C = 0.000000001 C Pico coulomb: 1 pC = 10⁻¹² C = 0.000000000001

Card 7Electric Current Definition

What is electric current and how is it defined mathematically?

Answer

Electric current is the rate at which electric charge flows through a conductor. It represents the amount of charge passing through a cross-section of a wire per unit time. Mathematical definition: I

Card 8Current Calculation

Problem: If 25 C of charge passes through a wire in 50 seconds, calculate the electric current.

Answer

Given: q = 25 C, t = 50 s Formula: I = q/t Calculation: I = 25 C / 50 s I = 0.5 C/s I = 0.5 A (ampere) Answer: The electric current is 0.5 ampere. This means 0.5 coulombs of charge flows through th
