Define Atomic structure, atomic number, atomic mass number

Atomic structure:

  • Atoms are made up of three types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • The nucleus, located at the center of the atom, contains protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit the nucleus in shells or energy levels.
  • The arrangement of electrons in an atom's energy levels determines its chemical properties and behavior.

Atomic number:

  • Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
  • The atomic number determines the element to which an atom belongs.
  • Elements with the same atomic number have similar chemical properties.

Atomic mass number:

  • Atomic mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
  • Isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number but different atomic mass numbers.
  • The atomic mass of an element listed on the periodic table is an average of the atomic masses of all its isotopes, weighted by their relative abundances.

Define faradays law of electromagnetism

What is faradays law 

FARADAYS LAW


  • Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction is a fundamental principle of physics that states that a changing magnetic field generates an electromotive force (EMF), which is a measure of the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. 
  • It describes the relationship between the magnetic field and the electric field and is an important concept in electrical engineering and physics. 
  • The law is named after the British scientist Michael Faraday, who first discovered it in the early 19th century.


 Important Points to remember

  • Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction says a change in magnetic field creates electrical force.
  • This is how electricity is generated in dynamos and transformers.
    Mathematically, it's expressed as EMF = -dΦ/dt.
    EMF stands for electromotive force.
    Φ is magnetic flux.
    t is time.
  • The negative sign means the electrical force opposes the change in magnetic field.
  • This is called Lenz's law.
  • Lenz's law states the electrical force generated in a circuit always opposes the change in magnetic field.
  • Faraday's law and Lenz's law are important for understanding electricity generation.
