Physics Final 2010 Know: Opposite charges attract When you give something an electric charge, Electrons are moving from one thing to another The Force between electric charges depends on the square of the distance An electron has a charge of -1.6 x C. If an object has a charge of 8 x C, describe what causes the charge

Know Units: C coulombs charge A amperes current V voltage potential difference J joules All energy  ohms resistance

Definition of potential difference, resistance, and current Ohm’s Law V=IR What things change the resistance of a wire, and how For resistors in series and parallel, know what stays the same across all, and what is the sum

Calculate equivalent resistance ? 10  ? 5  ? 10  eq. res. A ? 4 A

24 V 12  6  4  2  A 1 A Equivalent Resistance? 24  Current in circuit?1 A Current in 6  resistor? Voltage in 6  resistor? V = IR = 6V Power dissipated by 6  resistor? P = I  V = 6 W

Magnetic field lines go from the north pole to the south pole

Right hand rules

Waves are the transfer of energy Definitions: wavelength frequency period amplitude

period? frequency? period = 1/frequency velocity maximum? restoring force maximum? acceleration maximum?

For a pendulum: period length gravitational acceleration If you increase l, what happens to T? If you decrease g, what happens to T?

2 m 10 m ? 5 m amplitude?2 m f = 4 Hz wave speed? v = f = 20 m/s

Transverse Wave wavelength? frequency? amplitude?

Longitudinal Wave wavelength? frequency? amplitude?

Sound Longitudinal Wave Needs a medium to travel through Pitch is how high or low a sound sounds Pitch is a measure of frequency The Doppler Effect

Mirrors and Lenses Images are described in terms of: real or virtual upright or inverted magnification

Light is an inverse square function

Plane Mirrors image is virtual, upright, magnification = 1 object distance = image distance angle of incidence = angle of reflection

Concave Mirrors fC outside C….real, inverted, smallerat C…real, inverted, mag = 1 between C and f…real, inverted, bigger inside f…virtual, upright, bigger

Convex Mirrors Always form virtual, upright, smaller images

Concave Lenses ff

Index of Refraction n…a ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum with the speed of light in a material Know how light bends when it goes from one “n” to another
