Physics Electricity – PDF Material for SSC & RRB Exams

1. Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charge.

2. Electrons have a negative charge.

3. An Electric (force) field surrounds any charged object – it spreads out – weakens with distance.

4. The charge is measured in Coulombs.

5. 1 Coulomb =1 amp per second.

6. In a good conductor, the valence electrons can be easily forced to move from one atom to the next.

7. A conductor is a material that has a large number of free electrons that continually jump to other atoms.

8. Good electrical conductors are copper and aluminum. Gold, silver, and platinum are also good conductors but are very expensive.

9. An insulator is a material that has only a few free electrons. In insulators, the electrons are tightly bound by the nucleus.

10. Good electrical insulators are Rubber, Porcelain, Glass, and Dry Wood.

11. Current (I) is the movement of charge through a conductor. Electrons carry the charge.

12. Unit of measurement current in Amperes (A).

13. The fundamental electric quantity is Charge.

14. Current is the rate of flow of negatively-charged particles, called electrons, through a predetermined cross-sectional area in a conductor.

15. Resistance – The ability to resist current leakage through and over the surface of the material.

16. The resistance, expressed in ohms ( named after George ohm)

17. Resistance depends on Resistivity, Length, Cross-sectional area, and Temperature.
Resistance Colour Code

20. An instrument used to measure resistance is Ohm meter.

21. A capacitor is an energy storage element.

22. It can store electrical voltage for periods of time.

23. A Capacitor consists of two conducting metal plates with an insulating sheet of material in between.

24. When a capacitor has a difference in voltage across its plate, it is said to be charged.

25. Unit of capacitance is Farad

26. Inductance (L) is the property of an electrical circuit that opposes the change in current.

27. An inductor is a passive energy storage element that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field.

28. The henry (symbolized H) is the Standard International ( SI ) unit of inductance.

29. Ohm’s law states that an electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

30. When current flows through a conductor, heat energy is generated in the conductor.

31. The heating effect of an electric current depends on resistance, amount of current, and time for which current flows.

32. The heating effect of current is used in Iron box, electric water heater, etc.

33. The magnetic field carries the invisible force of magnetism

34. Wherever an electric current exists, a magnetic field also exists.

35. Whenever current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is created around the conductor.

36. The rule for remembering the direction of the magnetic field around a conductor is called the righthand clasp

37. If a person grasps a conductor in one’s right hand with the thumb pointing in the direction of the current, the fingers will circle the conductor in the direction of the magnetic field.

38. An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.

39. In electromagnets, the magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off.

40. Electromagnets are used in motors, generators, relays, loudspeakers, hard disks, MRI machines, scientific instruments, and magnetic separation equipment.

41. Electromagnetic Induction creates a voltage or current in a conductor when a magnetic field change.

42. In a transformer, alternating current in one winding induces a changing magnetic field in the transformer core

43. Transformer work on the principle of Electromagnetic induction.

44. In Generator magnetic field of the rotor induces a voltage in the stator windings.

45. Electromagnetic induction was first discovered by Michael Faraday.

46. Dynamo works on the basis of Faraday’s law.

47. Whenever a magnetic field is moved past a conductor a voltage is induced in the conductor.

48. Farad determined that a capacitor has a value of one farad of capacitance if one volt of the potential difference applied across its plates moved one coulomb of electrons from one plate to the other.

49. Electric bell functions by means of an electromagnet.

50. Lenz’s law states that the polarity of the induced emf is such that it tends to produce a current which opposes the change in magnetic flux that produces it.

51. When the current in a coil changes, it induces a back emf in the same coil.

64. The coefficient of coupling between two air core coils depends on mutual inductance and self-inductance of two coils.
