If a body has an unequal number of protons and electrons then we call it a charged body. It can have either positive charges or negative charges. Either type of charge can produce an electric field near it. The amount of charges and the shape of the body determine the type and value of the … Read more
‘Cell and Battery are not the same things‘. How? We all use Batteries in our daily life. Mobiles, Laptops, wall clocks and some other devices need this to work. Do you know why we use a Battery? Yes, it is the source of electricity. In recent times, Electric cars gained popularity. These cars also use … Read more
Here we’re to discuss what is Standard Form in maths and how to write numbers in standard form. Standard Form, also known as Scientific notation of numbers, is a way to express very large or very small numbers in a more compact and convenient form. It is widely used in maths of scientific and technical … Read more
In another article, I’ve discussed the Potential energy of an object. It’s the ability to do work due to its position at a height above the ground. In this article, I’m going to explain what is gravitational potential energy and what are some examples of it. What is Gravitational Potential Energy? The work done in … Read more
The surface Charge density of a conductor refers to the amount of electric charge distributed per unit area on the surface of the conductor. It is one of the important topics in Electrostatics. Because the charge densities are used to determine the electric fields due to different distributions of charge on the conductors. In this … Read more
Amps, volts and watts are some popular units that are related to electricity. You may have seen the voltage rating and power rating on electronic and electrical devices. These imply the amount of power the device will consume and at what maximum volts the device should be operated. In this article, I’m going to compare … Read more
Electricity is one of the most essential things in our daily life. To deal with an electrical circuit, we need to know the physical quantities associated with it. Current, Voltage, resistance, power, etc. are among those quantities. Many scientists have given various laws of electricity and explained how to determine such physical quantities from a … Read more
If you have a heater or any other device of 1500 Watts, then you may want to know how many amps it draws. I’m here to explain how many amps flow in a 1500 Watts heater. However, amps and watts do not imply the same physical quantity. These units are used for different purposes. Ampere … Read more
The typical household power supply in USA is 120 volts. Therefore getting shocked by such an electric voltage is possible while living in a house or office. You need to know how dangerous the 120 volt shock is. Can 120 volts kill you? This article explains it. Can 120 volt shock kill you? How dangerous … Read more
To identify the dynamics of a particle or a system of particles we need to know the net force acting on it. In another article, I discussed equations for different types of Forces in Physics. Now it’s time to explain these in detail. In this article, I’m going to explore the Force of Friction – … Read more
