Module Summary in General Physics 2: Electricity and Magnetism

1. Electric Charge and Coulomb’s Law

 Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, quantified in Coulombs (C).

 Coulomb’s law calculates the force between two charges as inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between them and directly proportional to the product of the charges.

2. Electric Fields and Flux

 The electric field represents the force per unit charge in a region of space.

 Gauss's law relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the charge enclosed.

3. Electric Potential and Capacitance

 Electric potential is the work done to move a unit charge to a point in an electric field.

 Capacitance measures a system’s ability to store charge per unit voltage, enhanced by dielectric materials.

4. Current, Resistance, and EMF

 Ohm’s law (V = IR) defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

 Electromotive force (EMF) is the energy supplied per charge by a source like a battery.

5. Direct-Current Circuits

 In series circuits, resistances add, while in parallel circuits, the reciprocals of resistances add.

 Kirchhoff’s laws govern the conservation of current and voltage in circuits.

6. Integration of Electrostatic and Magnetostatic Concepts

 Electric and magnetic fields are interconnected, influencing charge behavior and current.

 Magnetic fields are created by moving charges and can induce EMF in conductive loops (Faraday’s law).
