MCAT Physics JBrosch
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Ohm's Law | V= IR |
| Current | I= Q/t (movement of positive charge; created by voltage) |
| Power in a circuit = ? | I^2R = IV = (V^2)/R = Work/time |
| Work for charges? | - change in V * q |
| Voltage? | Change in Potential; creates current |
| Potential Voltage? | kq/r |
| Work/ Energy? | W = change in KE = NEGATIVE change in PE (Joules) |
| Electric Force? | kqQ/(r^2) OR qE (just add extra q to numerator) |
| Electric Field? | kq/(r^2) OR F/q (divide force by q to cancel out extra q in numerator) |
| Work of Electric Field? | Fd = qEd |
| Resistance | rho (L/A) |
| Capacitance | permittivity of free space (A/d) |
| Potential across the capacitor | U = (q^2)/2C |
| Electric field inside conductor | Zero |
| Coulomb | 9 x 10^9 (Nm^2)/(C^2) |
| 2 pi rads | 360 degrees |
| 1 rad | 57.3 degrees |
| An induced current... | OPPOSES the magnetic field |
| Centripetal acceleration | (v^2)/r = omega^2*r |
| Parallel acceleration (rotational) | alpha * r |
| Escape velocity | (2gr)^(1/2) |
| Work (rotational) | torque * theta |
| Force (rotational) | torque/ r |
| Torque | F*r*sin(theta) OR F*"lever arm" |
| Inertia | resistance to movement |
| momentum | mass*velocity |
| change in momentum | impulse = F*(change in time) |
| KE | mv^2/2 |
| PE (spring); Hooke's Law | kx^2/2 |
| Force of spring | -kx |
| frequency | 1/T |
| T pendulum | 2pi(L/g)^1/2 |
| T spring | 2pi(m/k)^1/2 |
| Stress | force/ area |
| Strain | change in length/ length |
| F buoyant | V fluid * density fluid* g |
| Doppler | F apparent = original V sound/ (V sound - V source) |
