### **1. Light: Refraction and Reflection**
**Refraction:**
- **Def...
Definition: Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and
motion of electric charge. It manifests itself in various forms like electric current, static electricity,
and electromagnetic fields.
Key Concepts:
1. Electric Charge:
○ Definition: Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter carried by
particles. There are two types of charges: positive and negative.
○ Unit: Coulomb (C).
○ Properties:
■ Like charges repel, and unlike charges attract.
■ Charge is quantized and conserved.
2. Conductors and Insulators:
○ Conductors: Materials that allow electric charges to flow freely (e.g., metals like
copper and aluminum).
○ Insulators: Materials that do not allow electric charges to flow freely (e.g.,
rubber, glass).
3. Electric Current (I):
○ Definition: The flow of electric charge in a conductor.
○ Formula: I=QtI = \frac{Q}{t}I=tQ
■ Where III is the current in amperes (A), QQQ is the charge in coulombs
(C), and ttt is the time in seconds (s).
○ Unit: Ampere (A).
4. Electric Potential and Potential Difference:
○ Electric Potential (V): The work done to move a unit positive charge from infinity
to a point in an electric field.
○ Potential Difference (V): The difference in electric potential between two points.
It is the work done to move a unit charge from one point to another.
○ Unit: Volt (V).
○ Formula: V=WQV = \frac{W}{Q}V=QW
■ Where VVV is the potential difference, WWW is the work done, and QQQ
is the charge.
5. Ohm’s Law:
○ Statement: The current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the
potential difference across its ends, provided the temperature remains constant.
○ Formula: V=IRV = IRV=IR
■ Where VVV is the potential difference, III is the current, and RRR is the
resistance.
