LAW OF CONSERVATION
OF ELECTRIC CHARGE
During any process, the net electric charge of an isolated
system remains constant (is conserved).
Like charges repel
and unlike charges
attract each other.
Conductors and
Insulators
Substances that readily conduct electric charge are called
electrical conductors. Conductors have free electrons, which
conduct the electricity.
Examples: Metals such as copper, aluminum, silver, and gold.
Materials that conduct electric charge poorly are known as
electrical insulators.
Examples: Rubber, plastics, and wood.
Charging by Contact and by
Induction
An object can be charged by two methods:
-By contact.
-By induction.

Electric Current
The electric current is the amount of charge per unit time that
passes through a surface that is perpendicular to the motion of
the charges.

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere (A), after the French
mathematician André Ampére (1775-1836). 1 A = 1 C/s. Ampere is a
large unit for current. In practice milliampere (mA) and microampere
(μA) are used.
Direction of Current Flow
Electric current is a flow of electrons. In a circuit, electrons
actually flow through the metal wires.
Conventional electric current is defined using the flow of
positive charges.
It is customary to use a conventional current I in the
opposite direction to the electron flow.

Ohm’s Law
Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854), a German physicist, discovered
Ohm’s law in 1826.
This is an experimental law, valid for both alternating current (ac)
and direct current (dc) circuits.
When you pass an electric current (I) through a resistance (R)
there will be a potential difference or voltage (V) created
across the resistance.
Ohm’s law gives a relationship between the voltage (V), current (I),
and resistance (R) as follows:
V=IR
What Is the Current?
Electromotive Force (emf)
The energy needed to run electrical devices comes from
batteries.
Within a battery, a chemical reaction occurs that transfers
electrons from one terminal (leaving it positively charged) to
another terminal (leaving it negatively charged).
Because of the positive and negative charges on the battery
terminals, an electric potential difference exists between them.
The maximum potential difference is called the electromotive
force* (emf) of the battery.
The electric potential difference is also known as the voltage, V.
The SI unit for voltage is the volt, after Alessandro Volta (17451827) who invented the electric battery. 1 volt = 1 J/C.

Electrical Energy
Electrical Energy and Power
Our daily life depends on electrical energy. We use many
electrical devices that transform electrical energy into other
forms of energy. For example, a light bulb transforms electrical
energy into light and heat. Electrical devices have various power
requirements. Electrical power, P is defined as the electrical
energy transfer per unit time,

Utility companies use the unit kilowatt-hour to measure
the electrical energy used by customers. One kilowatthour, kWh is the energy consumed for one hour at a
power rate of 1 kW.

per month, and if the cost of electricity is 12 cents per
kilowatt-hour, how much does it cost to operate the
appliance for a year?

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic
Induction
Michael Faraday found experimentally that the magnitude
of the induced emf is proportional to the rate at which the
magnetic flux changed. Faraday’s law can be written as,

  N
;   B A.
t
where N is the number of turns in the loops, A is the area
of one loop, ξ is the induced emf, and B┴ is the
perpendicular component of the magnetic field.
Lenz’s Law

  N
;   B A.
t
The SI unit for the induced emf is the volt, V. The minus sign in
the above Faraday’s law of induction is due to the fact that the
induced emf will always oppose the change. It is also known as
the Lenz’s law and it is stated as follows,
The current from the induced emf will produce a magnetic
field, which will always oppose the original change in the
magnetic flux.
