Nothing follows
Components
• Electricity - Phenomenon associated with the
presence and motion of electrons and other charged
particles
• Electric current – the directional motion of electrons.
• Electrostatics – deals with slow moving charges.
• Electromagnetism – magnetism due to electric
current
Experiment on electrostatics
1. Blow up and tie off the balloon
2) Turn on the Faucet so that you have a thin, unbroken stream of water
3) Rub the balloon quickly on your hair back and forth a number of times.
Notice what happens as you lift the balloon away from your head (make
sure your hair is very dry and clean).
4) Hold the balloon close (1-2cm) beside the stream of water. Make sure the
balloon doesn’t touch the water.
You'll see the water bend towards the balloon and be careful that it still
doesn't touch the balloon as this can stop the effect.

Magnetic Force (F)
Due to an electric charge.
- The presence of magnetic field B will cause a magnetic force F on
other moving charge Q. This a Vector quantity.
The direction of the force is always perpendicular to the plane
containing B and V
Unit:
Newtons, Dynes, Ff - Lb
F = |Q|(V)B
Where:
Mks.
F – Newtons Q – charge---coulombs
V – velocity---meters/seconds
B – flux density-Tesla(weber/sq.m)
Cgs
F – Dynes
Q – charge---coulombs
V – velocity---cm/seconds
B – flux density- gauss(Mx/sq.cm)
English system
F – Ft-lbs
Q – charge---coulombs
V – velocity---ft./seconds
B – flux density- Mx/sq.ft.
FORCE IN TERMS OF LENGTH, CURRENT AND FLUX DENSITY
Recall:
V = L/t
I = Q/t ; Q = I x t
But
F=QVB
substitute
F = I . L x B from
Where;
L---- Length of the conductor in meters
t---- time in seconds
Q----- charge in coulombs
B---- flux density in Tesla or (W/m2)
V ---- velocity in meter / seconds
F --- force in Newtons
I --- current in amperes
