Mechatronics case study well elaborated 2023/2024.

how do charges flow? - answershaving good conductors that allow more electrons to freely move to create more electricity where do they move to - answersthe charges would move from the positive terminals to the negative terminals How does an electric charge cause mechanical motion or make things light up ? - answersthe charges takes a form of discharge of static electricity What is electricity - answersthe flow of electric charge What are atoms ? - answersAtoms are the basic building blocks of life and matter examples of Atoms in chemical elements - answershydrogen, carbon, oxygen and copper atomic structure - answerselectrons, protons, and neutrons protons - answerspositive charge neutrons - answersno charge electrons - answersNegatively charged particles that act as charge carriers concept of charge - answersthe property of matter and can come in two types which are positive and negative electrons and protons charge - answersthey carry the same amount of charge Electrostatic force (Coulomb's Law) - answersa force that operates between two charges. The amount of force acts on two charges that depend on their distance type of repel - answersopposite types attract and likes repel valenece electrons - answersnumber of electrons in outermost energy shell what happens during electrostatic force - answersthe closer two charges get, the greater the force becomes. Conductivity - answersThe ability of an object to transfer heat or electricity to another object. static electricity - answersthe build-up of opposite charges to create electricity Current electricity - answersform of electricity to make all our electronic gizmos that has a constant flow of charge current electricity circuits - answersthe circuit requires a closed and never ending loop of conductive material Principles of electrons - answersVoltage, Current and Resistance Voltage - answersamount of potential energy between two points in a circuit that has one point having more charge than another Current - answersrate at which charge is flowing which is measured in Amperes Resistance - answersa materials tendency to resist the flow of charge Ohm's law - answersV=I•R Good conductors - answershelp move and let go of valence electrons Poor conductors - answersstop or don't let go of electrons Example of an insulator - answersair Types of electricity - answersstatic and current what happens If 1.5 volts are removed and replaced by 3 volts - answersthe amps increase as there are more electrons due to the voltage increase current in parallel - answersadd together for total Total resistance in parallel - answersadd together as fractions voltage in parallel - answersthey are equal Current in a series circuit - answersthey are equal Voltage in a series circuit - answersadd together for total Resistance in a series circuit - answersadd together for total Nodes - answerswhere two terminals meet. when electrons hit nodes they spilt current and resistors - answerscurrent decreases when the amount of resistors increase series circuit - answerssingle path of current with one globe is brighter than the other parallel circuit - answersA circuit that contains more than one path for current flow with the globes having equal brightness adding the total resistance in parallel circuits - answersflip the fraction after adding the total
