Properties of a force field.

CONCEPTS OF FIELDS
A field is a region under the influence of some physical agencies such as gravitation, magnetism and electricity.
There are two types of field:
Vector field
Scalar field.
A vector field is that field which is usually represented by lines of force; while a scalar field is that field that is not represented by lines of force.
Examples of vector fields include gravitational field, magnetic field and electric field.
Examples of scalar fields include regions with distribution of temperature, density, etc.
https://youtu.be/ybNSE8JzJQs

i) Gravitational field
Gravitational field is a region of space or a force field surrounding a body that has the property of mass. In this region, any object that has mass will experience a force of attraction, called gravitational force.
Gravitational force is responsible for the fact that any object thrown up must definitely fall back. This force of gravity pulls every object towards the centre of the earth. That is to say, gravitational force causes a body which is not in contact with the earth to fall to the ground. This therefore means that the earth exerts an attractive force on every object either on it or near it.
Similarly, two objects of different masses exert equal and opposite forces of attraction on each other.
https://youtu.be/7dbRKCIk9ts

The radial field near a planet (e.g, earth) is shown below:

ii) Magnetic Field
Magnetic field is a region around a magnet where it exerts force on other magnets. It is also a region where magnetic force is felt.
The patterns of the magnetic lines of force are shown below:

4. What is neutral point?


PROPERTIES OF A FORCE FIELD.

i) Gravitational Field
The lines of force are directed towards the centre of the planet; hence, it is a radial field.

The gravitational force field (field strength ) ‘g’ at a point is the force per unit mass placed at that point.

i.e, g=F/m in N/kg but the SI unit is m/s2

Any force acting on a body falling towards the centre of the earth is given by F=mg
Gravitational field is a vector quantity.

ii) Magnetic Field
Direction: When a magnet is freely suspended, it comes to rest in the South-North direction of the earth.
Attraction: A magnet has the ability to attract magnetic materials e.g, steel, iron, etc.
Force: A magnet exerts force on other magnets in such a manner that like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
The inseparable nature of poles on the magnetic dipoles: If a magnet is broken into small pieces, however small it may be, it will still have a North and South Poles. The smallest bit of a magnet is a dipole.
Magnetic lines of force originate from the North pole and terminate at the South pole.

iii) Electric Field
Electric lines of force originate from a positive charge and terminate in a negative charge.
Electric lines of force never cross each other.
They repel each other side ways.
They are in a state of tension which tends to shorten them.
The electric field ∈ at a point is defined as the force per unit charge placed at that point.

i.e,∈=F/q measured in Newton per Coulomb N/C

TOPIC: Gravitational field:
CONTENT:
Acceleration due to gravity
Shape and dimension of the earth.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY
When an object is dropped from the top of a hill or even a tree, the body moves and increases in velocity until it touches the ground with a finite value. Such movement is influenced by the earth’s gravitational field. The increase in velocity is therefore due to acceleration due to gravity which is usually represented by ‘g’. The motion of such body under gravity is always described as motion under free fall.

However, when two bodies of different masses are released from a height above the ground level, they do hit the ground at the same time. This is because the body with bigger mass will have a bigger weight and thus, larger amount of inertia, making it to fall with the same constant acceleration as the body with smaller mass.

This constant acceleration, called acceleration due to gravity has a value of 9.8m/s2 or 10m/s2.

When a body is released from a height so that it falls towards the centre of the earth, ‘g’ is positive; but when a body is thrown upward, it goes against ‘g’ thereby decreasing in velocity until it momentarily comes to rest at the maximum height. For upward movement, ‘g’ is negative.

The equations connecting acceleration due to gravity, ‘g’ are as follows:

For downward movement, v2=u2+2gs and s=ut+½ gt2

For upward movement, v2=u2-2gs and s=ut-½ gt2

When a body is released from rest at a certain height so that it falls towards the centre of the earth,

Image

This equation shows that the time to reach the ground does not depend on the mass of the object.

Determination of Acceleration Due to Gravity
The value of ‘g’ could be determined using:
Formula method: A body is released from a height ‘s’ and the time t is taken; then use s=½ gt² to get the value of ‘g’.
Simple Pendulum Experiment method: The value of ‘g’ could also be determined using this experiment.
The period T for the oscillation is given by:

TOPIC: PARTICULATE NATURE OF MATTER:
CONTENT:
Structure of matter - Evidence of particle nature of matter
Simple atomic structure
Molecules -Their nature & Size.

STRUCTURE OF MATTER
Matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. All substances are made up of matter and are all acted upon by gravitational force towards the centre of the earth.

When a matter such as a piece of yam is cut into smaller and smaller bits, one would eventually find the smallest particle which could not be divided further. Such particles are called molecules.
Matter can exist in the following states:
Solid state
Liquid state and
Gaseous state.
Image

Evidence of Particle Nature of Matter
The fact that matter is made up of particles is evident from the phenomena of diffusion and Brownian motion.
The random motion of particles such as smoke as a result of being bombarded by invisible air molecules is known as Brownian Motion.
Diffusion is the process by which substances mix thoroughly, together and intimately with one another as a result of the random motion of their molecules. The direction of the molecules is in such a way that they flow from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. Diffusion is fastest in gaseous state and least in solid state.

The rate of diffusion is affected by the following factors:
Mass of the molecules
Temperature
Density
Pressure
Concentration gradient
Other evidences of the particulate nature of matter are osmosis (the movement of molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration across a thin permeable membrane), and law of definite proportion.
https://youtu.be/SYu4Shci_3Q

Evaluation:
1. On what condition will a body be considered a matter?
2. In what state of matter is diffusion a) fastest b) slowest?
3. What is the direction of flow of molecules during diffusion?




SIMPLE ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Image

An atom is defined as the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction and is not capable of independent existence.

Every atom of a substance is believed to have a nucleus of about 10-15m in diameter. The nucleus of an atom contains neutron and proton, called the nucleons.

A nuclide is a particular species of atom, one whose nucleus contains a specified number of protons and neutrons.

The atomic number Z (when an element A/ZX is considered), is the number of protons contained in the nucleus. This is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom of the element.

The mass number A is the number nucleons (protons plus neutrons) in the nucleus.

Isotopes are nuclides having the same atomic number but different mass number. E.g, 17/35Cl, 17/37Cl

Isobars are nuclides having the same mass number but different atomic number. E.g 18/40Ar, 20/40Ca


The below table summarizes the properties of the elementary particles in the atom of an element.

Image

The important points to keep in mind are as follows:
Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass, while the electron is approximately 2000 times lighter.
Protons and electrons carry charges of equal magnitude, but opposite charge. Neutrons carry no charge (they are neutral).
https://youtu.be/h6LPAwAmnCQ

Evaluation
1. What are the elementary particles contained in the nucleus of an atom?
2. Write down their masses and charges.
3. Which particle is located in the outermost shell?


MOLECULES -THEIR NATURE & SIZE
All matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules. These molecules themselves are made up of tinier particles called atoms. Both molecules and atom are too tiny to be seen with the naked eyes.

One mole of every substance is believed to contain about 6.02×1023 molecules. One molecule of a substance could be found from the combination of two or more elements of that substance.
Hence, we define a molecule as ‘’ the smallest unit of matter that is capable of independent existence’’. This means that a molecule of a substance could exist alone.
An atom is defined as the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction and is not capable of independent existence.
An element is any substance in which everything could be built up. It is a substance which consists of only one kind of matter and cannot be broken down into anything simpler by any chemical means.

In any crystal, the atoms, molecules or irons are arranged in definite repetitive pattern or lattice. Substances which have the same crystalline shape are said to be isomorphous. This implies that crystalline substances exist in different shapes. For example, sodium chloride crystals have cubical shape. Other crystals shapes are; prismatic and octahedral shapes. See diagrams below.
Image

The basic unit of a crystal is called unit cell. If these unit cells are packed up and down, side by side, in all directions, a cubic lattice will emerged. The atoms or molecules or ions are placed at the corners of the unit cells stacked side by side, up and down like building blocks. This is the structure of sodium chloride (NaCl). In sodium chloride crystal structure, the atoms of (Na) and (Cl) are arranged such that the atoms take alternate positions in the cube. Each atom within the crystal has six immediate neighbours. The chloride ions (Cl-) are larger than the sodium ions (Na+). Since their charges are opposite, they are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

Other types of unit cells are; face-centred cubic (FCC) and the body centred cubic (BCC) crystals.

1. Face-centred cubic crystals:
These crystals have identical atoms at each of the corners and different atom or ion at the centre of each of the faces as shown in Zinc Sulphide (ZnS) unit cell below.
Image

2. Body-Centred cubic crystals
Crystals that fall into this group are: Chromium, ion and platinum salts. In these crystals, the unit cell has identical atoms or ions at each corner and one different atom or ion at the centre of the unit cell as shown in the diagram below.

Evaluation
1. What is a crystal?
2. What is meant by crystal lattice?
3. Differentiate between body-centred cubic crystals and face-centred cubic crystals



Crystalline and Non-crystalline or Amorphous Substances
Non-crystalline or amorphous substances do not have definite shape because their atoms are not regularly arranged like that of crystalline substances. These substances behave more like liquids than solids. Examples of non-crystalline substances include: glass, plastics, tar, e.t.c. the molecules of these substances are long-chain and are inter twined in the liquid state as shown below.
Image

Note: Crystalline substances have high melting points because much heat is required to break the strong intermolecular forces binding the molecules together.

Differences between amorphous and crystalline substances

State of matter
Matter exists in three states, these are; Solid state, liquid state and gaseous state. In the solid state, the molecules are closely packed and held together by strong intermolecular forces. The molecules do not move because of these strong intermolecular forces. They can only vibrate about their mean positions. This accounts for why solids have definite shape and do not move easily. In the liquid state, the intermolecular distances are greater and the molecules are also held together by forces which are not as strong as those holding the molecules of solids. For this reason, the molecules have some degree of freedom to move. This is the reason why liquids move and change shape easily. In gaseous substances, intermolecular distances are the farthest and the intermolecular forces between the molecules are so weak that the molecules move freely. The kinetic energies of these molecules are greater than that of solids and liquids. That is why gases move fast and randomly. The table below gives the characteristics of the three states of matter.

CONTENT : Fuse
Types of Fuse
Detecting Fault in a Circuit
Fuse
Fuse is a protective device, designed to melt at the passage of excess electric current through it. It can also be defined as a device for opening circuit, by means of a conductor designed to melt when an excessive current flows along it. The conductor actually designed to melt is called fuse element.

Fuse element is the part of the fuse that is designed to melt and then open the cct

Current rating of a fuse : it is the minimum current which the fuse will carry for an indefinite/ unlimited period without deterioration of the fuse element

Fusing current: is the minimum current that will cause the fuse element to heat up and melt/ rapture or blow.

Fusing factor is the ratio of the fusing current upon the current rating.

Fusing factor = fusing current/ current rating

Surface tension-definition and effects
Surface tension can be defined as the force per unit length normal or perpendicular to a line on the surface of a liquid. In order to understand the origin of surface tension, we need to define two terms namely; force of cohesion and force of adhesion.
Force of cohesion is the force of attraction existing among molecules of the same substance while force of adhesion is the force of attraction that exists between molecules of different substances. These forces can be used to explain why water wet glass and mercury does not.
The force of adhesion of water molecules to glass molecules is stronger than the force of cohesion of water molecules. This makes water to wet the glass when it is spilled on it. The force of cohesion of mercury molecules is greater than the force of adhesion between mercury and glass molecules. Hence, when mercury is spilled on glass, it does not wet the glass but forms spherical droplets. For the same reason, the water surface in a glass vessel is convex while the mercury in a glass vessel is concave.
Surface tension exists because of the molecular attraction between the liquid molecules. Consider a vessel of water with molecules P and Q as shown in the figure below.
Image

Q is attracted by equal number of molecules all around and so it is in a state of equilibrium. Molecule P is nearer the surface of the liquid than Q. Therefore part of its sphere of molecular attraction is in the air and part is in the liquid. Since the liquid has much more molecules than the air, Q will be attracted towards the liquid by many more molecules than towards the air. The resultant force on Q will be towards the liquid, hence tension exists on the surface of the liquid.
https://youtu.be/zMzqiAuOSz0

Experiment to demonstrate surface tension
Apparatus: Beaker, water, steel needle, filter paper and grease.
Procedure:
1. Apply the grease to the steel needle so that water will not wet it and place it on the filter paper
2. Carefully place it on the water surface

Observation:
The paper will absorb water and eventually sinks to the bottom of the beaker leaving behind the needle floating on the water provided the water is not disturbed. The water surface will also be depressed under the needle. The needle floats on the water surface due to surface tension.

https://youtu.be/PFZsMe4Vr58

https://youtu.be/b_UnAsmPwSw

Surface tension can be reduced by
1. Increasing the temperature of the liquid
2. Adding soap or detergent to the liquid
3. Adding alcohol
4. Adding camphor

Effects of surface tension
1. Ants and pond skaters are able to move on water surface because of surface tension
2. Small objects like razor blade and needle can be made to float on water when carefully placed as a result of surface tension
3. Mercury forms spherical droplets when spilled on glass because of surface tension
4. The hairs of a paint brush spread out and come together when dipped in clean water and removed respectively as a result of surface tension
5. water drops slowly from a loosely closed tap as a result of surface tension
6. the rise and depression of liquid in a narrow tube is as a result of surface tension
https://youtu.be/rCU9E-dbRhk

Evaluation:
1. Define surface tension
2. Mention some effects of surface tension



Viscosity
Viscosity by definition is internal friction between layers of fluids in motion. Liquids are dense pour more slowly than those that are less dense. E.g honey will pour more slowly than water because it is denser than kerosene. This means that honey is a more viscous liquid than water. Viscosity can be demonstrated if we consider a ball bearing falling through some liquids.
Image

Experiment to demonstrate viscosity
Apparatus: beaker, two different liquids say, engine oil and kerosene
Procedure: pour the engine oil into the beaker and drop the ball bearing into it. Observe the ball bearing as it moves to the bottom of the beaker. Do the same thing using the other liquid (kerosene). You will observe that the ball bearing gets to the bottom of the beaker much earlier than it does in engine oil. Therefore viscosity in engine oil is higher than that in kerosene.
https://youtu.be/2Gdxu4XcsbY

https://youtu.be/f6spBkVeQ4w

https://youtu.be/ubGxkWWWiIg


Terminal velocity
A ball that is made to fall through a liquid is under the influence of three forces namely; its weight (W = mg) that acts vertically downwards, the upthrust (U) of the liquid on the ball acting upwards and the viscous force (v) opposing it motion. The resultant force acting on the ball can be written as
ma = W – v – U where ‘a’ is the acceleration of the ball through the liquid and m is the mass of the ball. At a certain time in the motion of the ball, its velocity becomes uniform or constant. At this stage acceleration ‘a’ is 0 so that the above equation becomes
W – v –U = 0 or
Mg – v –U = 0
v = mg – U
The velocity-time graph of the motion of the ball is given as shown below
Image



Applications of surface tension and viscosity
1. The knowledge of surface tension is applied in industries in making some materials such as, umbrellas, canvass, rain coats and waterproof tents
2. It is difficult to wash dirty clothes or oily clothes with water only. That is why we use soap and detergents to wash. Soap and detergents weakens the surface tension of water and enables it to float away dirt or oil from the material
3. Viscous liquids are used as lubricants. Examples are grease and engine oil.
4. Viscosity is applied in the design of boats, ships and aircraft.

CONTENT : Atomic Structure
Molecular Theory of Matter
Diffusion and Osmosis
Matter
Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. All substances are made up of matter. It exists in three states namely, solid liquid and gas. Examples of solids are ice, brick, metal, concrete, wood etc. examples of liquid are water, milk, oil etc while that of gas are oxygen, nitrogen, CO2
https://youtu.be/Vt8-ndOGSUk

Structure of Matter
Matter is made up of discrete particles namely atom, molecules and ion.
(i) Atom: An atom is the smallest particle of an element which can have a separate existence. Atom is made up of a nucleus and a revolving electron around an orbit or shell. The nucleus consists of proton and neutron. The proton is positively charged, electron is negatively charge and neutron is neutral (i.e. has no charge). The number of protons equates the number of electrons .An atom that contains the same number of protons and electrons is said to be electrically neutral.

(ii) Molecule: A molecule is a group of atoms of the same or different elements joined in simple proportion. They come together to make up matter

(2) What is the importance of Brownie’s motion

Molecular Theory of Matter
Using kinetic theory explain the (i) definite structure of solid (ii) shape of liquid (iii) gas
https://youtu.be/yg9OjhSlmBk
(i) Solid: Matter consists of molecules which are tightly held together by intermolecular forces to make the molecules to vibrate about their mean positions, giving the solid definite shape. If the solid is heated, the total energy is divided among the molecules to make them vibrate faster. Eventually, they move so fast that they break loose from their fixed position.

(ii) Liquid: The molecules of a liquid can move about within the given volume of the container. Hence, liquid has its own size but no shape. If the liquid is heated, its molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster, until eventually molecules can escape from the surface. The liquid then vanishes and turns to gaseous state.

(iii) Gas: The molecules of a gas are also in constant motion like the liquid but comparatively far apart. They move at high speed, colliding with one another and with the walls of their containing vessel. They fill the vessel and exert pressure on the walls of the container. The pressure of the gas is caused by the collision of the molecules with the walls of the container.

https://youtu.be/R1l1Cww88XQ

https://youtu.be/N9OL6AwyM5I

Diffusion and Osmosis
Diffusion: Diffusion is the process by which different forms of matter (fluids) mix intimately with one another owing to the kinetic nature of their molecules. It is also the tendency of a gas to mix with another and fill an empty space as a result of the constant random motion of the molecules.
https://youtu.be/eGCQwvIndMU
The rates of diffusion or factors affecting diffusion are (i) density (ii) mass (iii) temperature (iv) pressure (v) concentration
Also, Graham’s law of diffusion states that at constant temperature, gas diffuse at rates inversely proportional to the square root of their vapour densities.
Image

(ii) Relative molecular mass is twice its vapour density

Osmosis: This is the movement of water molecules from the region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

TOPIC: CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF MATTER- AMORPHOUS AND CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCES.
CONTENT : Crystal Structure
Crystalline and Amorphous Substance

Crystal Structure
The term crystal structure is generally used to describe the internal structure of solids. The particles of a solid are orderly arranged in parallel planes. In other words, solid crystals consist of particles arranged in parallel planes. Crystals are built up from simple structural units called unit cells. A unit cell (also called a space lattice) is made up of few atoms, ions or molecules.

There are seven types of unit cells. Each type gives rise to a crystal system. They include cubic, rhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, tetragonal, rhombohedra and hexagonal crystal system. X- ray analysis of crystal shows that three pairs of opposite parallel faces bund the unit cells in all crystal systems, except in hexagonal system. We can draw three imaginary lines between the centres of the opposite parallel faces.
These imaginary lines represent three axes of symmetry. The length of these axes of symmetry and the angles between them determines the system to which a crystal belongs. This is demonstrated using cubic and monoclinic crystal systems.

In a cubic crystal system, the axes of symmetry have equal length and at right angles to each other. This type of crystal system is found in copper, sodium chloride, silver, gold, iron, sodium, potassium etc. however, the type of cubic crystal system found in copper, silver, gold and sodium chloride is different from the type found in sodium, iron and potassium. The former is called face centred cubic, while the later is called body centred cubic. In a monoclinic system, the axes are not equal in length and only two of them are at right angles to each other. These crystal systems are in sugar, washing soda, ferrous sulphate etc.

Measurement of length
Length was considered earlier as a fundamental quantity whose S.I unit is metre. We also learnt that other units of length are centimeter, millimitre,, and kilometer. There exist other units of length which have been in use long ago and are still being used today. Such units are; a foot ( feet for plural). It is equal to 12 inches another unit of length which is about 30cm. others are, yards, furlongs and miles. The table below shows some of these units and their conversions to S.I unit
https://youtu.be/ZNX-a-5jGeM

Units of length
Multiples of other units Other units Conversion to S.I unit
--------------- 1 inch = 2.54cm = 0.0254m
12 inches make 1 foot = 0.3048m
3 feet make 1 yard = 0.9144m
22 yards make 1 chain = 20.12m
10 chains make 1 furlong = 201.2m
8 furlongs make 1 mile 1.609 km
Image

https://youtu.be/cmb1LbI6BgU

Class activity
Mention industries/workshops/persons that carryout some measurements
Identify and write down the units of measurements they use
Classify these units under S.I units and other units

Example 1
Convert 3550km to miles (b) The length of an iron rod is given as 66 inches. What is its length in metres?

Solution
1 mile = 1.609km
Hence, 3550km = (3550 x 1.609) miles
= 5,712 miles

(b). 1 inch = 2.54cm
Therefore 66 inches = (66 x 2.54) cm = 167.64cm.
But 100cm = 1m,
Thus 167.64cm = (167.64 / 100)m = 1.6764m

Therefore the length of the iron rod in metres is 1.676.4m

Evaluation
The height of a girl is 7.5 feet. Estimate her height in metres
Convert 30km to miles


Measurement of volume
Volume is a measure of the space contained in an object. For a regular solid such as a rectangular tank, its volume is given as length x breadth x height which can be in m3, cm3 mm3 e.t.c. Nigeria is an oil producing nation and a member of ‘OPEC ‘ that export oil to other nations. The volume of oil is measured in barrels. What then is a barrel? It is a unit of measurement of volume in the industrial sector. A barrel of oil is equivalent to 158.987 litres.
Example 2
The table below is a statistics of oil exportation to the United States for three years by NNPC
Year Price per barrel ( N ) Volume exported (barrels)
1993 140 1.05 million
1994 135 1.5 million
1995 162 0.9 million

Image

1. What volume of oil in litres was exported in 1994?
2. What is the highest amount gotten and in what year was it gotten?

Solution
In 1994, 1.5 million barrels of oil was exported.
Since 1 barrel = 158.987 litres
1.05 million barrels = (1.5million x 158.987) litres = 238.4805million litres
(b) In 1993, volume of oil exported = 1.05 million barrels. Price per barrel = N140
Amount realized = 1.05million x 140 = N147,000000
In 1994, volume of oil exported = 1.5million, price per barrel = N135
Amount realized = 1.5million x N135 = N202.5 million
In 1995, volume of oil exported = 0.9 million barrels. Price per barrel = N162
Amount realized = 0.9 million x N162 = N145.8 million
Therefore, the highest amount of money gotten is N202.5 million and it was gotten in 1994



Measurement of temperature/power
We have learnt earlier that temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. And the instrument for measuring it is the thermometer. The S.I unit of temperature is Kelvin. In Britain and some countries and industrial sectors, the degree Fahrenheit is still in use. The difference between the Celsius scale and the Fahrenheit scales of measuring temperature is that the Celsius scale has 0 degree as its lower fixed point ( the melting point of pure water ) and 100 degrees as its upper fixed point ( the boiling point of pure water at standard atmospheric pressure). There are 100 divisions in between these points. The Fahrenheit scale has 32 degrees as its lower fixed point ( the melting point of pure water) and 212 degrees Fahrenheit as its upper fixed point.

The Celsius Scale is related to the Fahrenheit scale by the equation:

F is temperature in Fahrenheit scale, C is temperature in Celsius scale

F- 32/180=C/100 or C/5= F-32/9

Example
(a) Convert 77 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius scale (b) Convert 105 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit
Solution
(a). Considering the equation

Measurement of power
Power is the time rate at which work is done. Its S.I unit is watt. The horse power is a common unit of power used in the industrial sector. The power of some machines, e.g air conditioners, water pump, cassava grinding machine e.tc are usually expressed in horse power. One horse power is equal to 746watts.
Example
A machine is rated 2500watts. Calculate the power in horse power

Solution
1 horse power = 746watts

Therefore 2500watts = (2500 / 746) horse power = 3.35 horse power

CONTENT: Definition of Capillarity
Cohesion and adhesion
Application of capillarity
Image

Capillarity is defined as the tendency of liquids to rise or fall in narrow capillary tubes.

Cohesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance

Adhesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of different substance or it refers to the force which makes molecules of different substance to attract.

Application of Capillarity
Adhesion of water to glass is stronger than the cohesion of water, hence, when water is spilled on a clean glass surface, it wets the glass. The cohesion of mercury is greater than its adhesion to glass, hence, mercury spilled 0n glass forms small spherical droplets.

Image
When resistors are arranged in series in a circuit, the same current flows but, they have different potential differences. When they are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference but different current.
https://youtu.be/pd3RkGs1Tsg



OHM’S LAW
The electric current passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference applied between its end.

Current = Potential difference/Resistance

V = IR

R is a constant of proportionality and depends on the nature of the material. The unit of resistance is ohm.

Electrical energy and power

Electrical Energy: If Q coulombs of electricity flows between two points whose potential difference is V volts, then the work done (W) is given by

W = QV

JOULES = COULOMB X VOLTS

But Q = It

Then W = VIt, E = VIt OR I²Rt OR V²/R

Electrical Power (P): Power is defined as the rate of doing work.

Power=Energy/time

Power=VIt/t

Power = VI = I²R = V²/R

https://youtu.be/41-37Kv_ljw

ELECTRIC METER READING AND BILLING
To measure or read electricity consumed in order to bill the consumer accordingly, the standard unit commonly used is the kilowatt/hour.
1 unit of the electric power is the watt
1 watt= 1 volts x 1 ampere
Hence, the electrical meter is a device used for recording the number of units of electrical energy consumed in a house over a period of time.

1KWh = 1000 x 60 x60J

= 3.6 X 106 Joules of energy

The actual cost per unit to electrical energy varies with the nature of the use to which the energy is put.
The PHCN also charges a fixed charge and meter maintenance charge every month. This also varies according to the tariff rate of the consumer.

Example: 1. the tariff rate of a consumer is N4. 00 per unit. The present meter reading is 3760 while the reading was 3648.
What is the consumption of the household after one month?
If the fixed charge is N30 and the meter maintenance charge is N100. What is the current charge of the consumer?

SOLUTION: i. the consumption of the household is the difference between the present reading and the previous reading.

– 3648 = 112units.

ii. The energy charge of the consumer = 112 x 4. 00 = N448. 00k
Fixed charges = N30
Meter maintenance charge = N100
Current charges =N(448 + 30 + 100) = N578 . 00

Fuse and circuit breaker, Continuity faults in electric circuit.

FUSE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER
Fuse is a safety device containing a short length of thin conducting wire, which melts and breaks the circuit, if the current exceeds a certain safe value or maximum operating limit.

Circuit Breaker on the other hand works in the same way as the fuse. It is usually placed beside the electric meter such that the current enters it first before going into the meter.

Continuity Tester: To detect faults in a circuit, we use a continuity tester. It is used to test whether a circuit is continuous or broken at a certain point.

TOPIC: ELASTICITY
CONTENT : Definition of elasticity
Hook’s law
Tensile stress, tensile strain and young modulus

Elasticity is the tendency of a material to regain its original size or shape after deformation or after it has been compressed or extended.

Hook’s law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension in an elastic material (wire) is proportional to the force applied i.e Fαe
F = Ke…………………………………………1
Where K is force constant, stiffness or elastic constant
Force constant is the amount of force that causes a unit extension. It is the ratio of force to extension of an elastic material.
K → force constant, stiffness or elastic constant
Image

Image

OE →proportional limit
E→ elastic limit
Y→ yield point
EY → elastic deform
YM→ plastic deform
Hook’s law applies up to the elastic limit. For load beyond L the wire (material) stretch permanently. The point where small ↑ in load produces large extension is known as yield point.

Breaking point is the point where the wire cannot withstand any further increase in load.

Yield point : it is the minimum stress/load acting on an elastic material beyond which plastic deformation sets in.

Elastic limit is the maximum load (force) which a body can experience and still regain its original size.

Tensile stress is the force acting on a unit CSA of a wire/rod or force per unit CSA of a wire or rod.
Tensile stress = Force/Area …………………….2

Tensile strain is the extension per unit length
Tensile strain = extension/Original length ……………………..3

Young modulus can be defined as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain
Young modules = tensile stress/ tensile strain…………………..4

Force in a bar
When a bar is heated and then prevented from contracting as it cools, a considerable force is exerted at the end of the bar. Given a bar of a young modulus E, a cross sectional area A, a linear expansivity of magnitude α and a decrease in temperature of Ө,then
E = stress/strain = F/A/e/L
=F/A х L/e
E = FL/Ae
F = EAe/L ………………………….1
Recall, Linear expansivity α = change in length/original length х temperature change
α = e/L х Ө
e = αLӨ
F = EAαeLӨ/eL
F = EAαӨ ……………………………2

EVALUATION

2. A steel rod of cross sectional area 2cm2 is heated to 100˚C and then prevented from contracting when it cooled to 10˚C. find the force exerted on the steel = 12 х 10-6/K and young modulus is 2 х1011N/m2



ENERGY STORED IN A WIRE
The application of force on any wire provided the elasticity limit is not exceeded is proportional to the extension provided.
Consequently, the force in the wire has increase from zero to F
Average force = F + O/2 = F/2
Recall work done = Average force х distance
W = f/2 x e = ½ Fe ………………………….3
Substitute eqn 1 into 3
W = EAe2/2L……………………………….4

ENERGY STORED PER UNIT VOLUME
WV = ½ X Stress X Strain…………………..5
This implies that Wv = Ee2/2L2

Substance which lengthens considerable and undergo plastic deformation until they break are known as ductile substance. E.g lead, copper, wrought iron.
Substance which break after the elastic limit is reached are known as brittle substance e.g glass and high carbon steel. It should be noted that brass, bronze and many alloys appears to have no yield point. By this we mean that this material increase in length beyond the elastic limit as the lead is increased without the sudden appearance of a plastic stage.
