Q

Can you measure electric potential at a single point?
What is potential difference?
Why is electric potential important in electron microscopes?
What are charge carriers?
Q: How does electric potential help a cell phone work?

A

No. You need to measure the difference between two points (potential difference).
The diff. in electric potential b/w two points, also called voltage.
Particles like electrons that carry electricity.
A: It directs the movement of charge carriers, channeling their energy to make the phone operate.

Q

Q: How does a mosquito zapper use electric potential?
Q: On what do electric potential & electric potential energy depend?

A

A: The potential difference across two points lets electricity flow through the mosquito, giving it a shock.
A: Both depend on two points—the start and end of the charge’s movement.

Q

can terminal potential diff. behave as emf?
which is greater emf or terminal voltage?

A

An ideal battery (a perfect, imaginary one) has no internal resistance. In this perfect world, the terminal voltage would always equal the EMF, no matter how much current you draw. In the real world, this never happens.

When internal resistance exists within any electrical circuit including load resistance

18
Q

can terminal potential be greater than emf?
how does internal resistance influences the efficiency of the battery?
what decreases internal resistance of the battery?

A

Yes, only one ideal situation does exit there when emf source is being charged.
emf will be greater than potential difference.
It also means less current can flow, making your device weaker (e.g., a dim flashlight).

19
Q

what is internal resistance?
efficiency of emf source? %age?
power dissipation?
max. power output? what if R=r

A

the compact form of ionic, electronic and contact impedances

20
Q

desribe potential diff and current according to ohm?
what is resistance of conducting material? numerical value based on?
how does ohm concept channeleiz the 3 basic electric terms

21
Q

how does variation of temp. effects the resistance of ANY conducting material?
resistance depends on? form eqn.

22
Q

SI units of resistivity? depends on?
conducting objects length doubles? cross section doubles
reciprocal of resistivity? unit? another unit?
what is resistivity basically?

23
Q

resistivity/resistane is an intrinsic/extrinsic property?
difference between resistivity and resistance?
thick/thin wire which resists more?
copper or rubber which has higher?

24
Q

LDRs? aka? basic mechanism?
basic principle?
diagram? made from? circuit symbol?
