--- RAPID REVISION SHEET ---
• Electric current is the flow of electrons through a conductor.
• Fleming's Left Hand Rule states that the direction of force on a conductor is given by the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of current.
• Motor and Generator convert electrical into mechanical energy.
• Electromagnetic Induction is the principle behind electric generators and motors.
• Magnetic field due to a conductor is given by the formula B =-* I / 2?r.
• Household circuit safety involves proper use of wires, switches, and appliances.
• Electric circuits should be designed to prevent short circuits and overloading.
• Electromagnetic waves are produced due to changing electric currents.
• Induced emf is given by the formula-= -N * d?/dt.
