TERM 1
Relationship between wave speed wavelength
and frequency
DEFINITION 1
wave speed= wavelength x frequency
TERM 2
Coulomb's Law
DEFINITION 2
Coulomb's law is a law of physics describing the electrostatic
interaction between electrically charged particles. force=
coulomb's constant x charge1 x charge 2 (distance between
charges) squared
TERM 3
Force exerted on a Charge by an Electric Field
DEFINITION 3
force= charge x electric field
TERM 4
voltage gradient
DEFINITION 4
electric field= voltage gradient= voltage drop distance
TERM 5
power consumption
DEFINITION 5
Electricity consumption is the consumption of energy in the
form of electricity. power consumed = voltage drop x current

TERM 1

Relationship between wave speed wavelength

and frequency

DEFINITION 1 wave speed= wavelength x frequency TERM 2

Coulomb's Law

DEFINITION 2 Coulomb's law is a law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles. force= coulomb's constant x charge1 x charge 2 (distance between charges) squared TERM 3

Force exerted on a Charge by an Electric Field

DEFINITION 3 force= charge x electric field TERM 4

voltage gradient

DEFINITION 4 electric field= voltage gradient= voltage drop distance TERM 5

power consumption

DEFINITION 5 Electricity consumption is the consumption of energy in the form of electricity. power consumed = voltage drop x current

TERM 6

power production

DEFINITION 6 Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy. power provided = voltage rise x current TERM 7

Ohm's Law

DEFINITION 7 Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them. voltage drop= current x electric resistance
