Natuurwetenschappen SAT - Elektromagnetisme en mechanica

the measure of electric potential difference between two points in a circuit, expressed in volts

spanning, voltage

an electrical component designed to limit or control the flow of electric current in a circuit, typically by providing resistance

weerstand, resistor

the complete circle through which an electric current flows, typically consists of the source of electric energy

elektrisch circuit, circuit

a solid substance that conducts electricity or heat better than insulators, but not as well as most metals

halfgeleider

a phenomenon where certain materials conduct electricity without resistance when cooled to extremely low temperatures

supergeleiding

to apply an electric charge to a conductor

elektrificeren, elektrisch opladen

a conductor through which electricity travels to or from an object, such as batteries

elektrode

a form of electricity generated by friction between two materials, resulting in an imbalance of electric charges on their surfaces

statische elektriciteit

(of a battery or device) capable of being supplied with electrical power again

oplaadbaar

a machine that produces electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy

generator, elektriciteitsgenerator

a positively charged electrode in an electrical device where oxidation occurs, resulting in the release of electrons

anode

a negatively charged electrode within an electrical device, from which electrons flow out into the external circuit

katode

a device that converts the energy of the sun into electricity

zonnecel, fotovoltaïsche cel

the amount of solar energy received per unit area on Earth's surface

zonne-irradiantie, zonnestraling

the energy transmitted in the form of particles or waves through the space or a matter

straling

related to the technology that turns sunlight directly into electricity

fotovoltaïsch

referring to the combined interaction of electric and magnetic fields, often associated with waves or radiation

elektromagnetisch

an invisible area around a magnetic object where magnetic forces can attract or repel other objects

magnetisch veld, magnetisch gebied

a long rigid bar that is put under a heavy object in order to move it

hefboom

a point or support on which a lever pivots or rotates in order to lift or move objects

steunpunt, hefboom

the rapid back-and-forth movement of an object

trilling, oscillatie

a rotational force measured in newton-meters or foot-pounds

koppel, draaimoment

a measure of a spring's stiffness, indicating how much force is needed to stretch or compress it

veerkracht, stijfheidscoëfficiënt

a mass used to provide balance to another mass

tegengewicht, balansgewicht

having a speed greater than that of sound

supersonisch, ultrasoon

(physics) the increase in velocity over time

versnelling

the constant speed reached by a falling object when the drag force equals the gravitational force pulling it downward, resulting in no further acceleration

terminal velocity, eind snelheid

the study of the design, development, and operation of aircrafts, focusing on principles of aerodynamics, propulsion, and material science

luchtvaart, aviatie

a branch of science and engineering that deals with the mechanical properties of liquids, particularly their behavior in confined spaces and under pressure

hydraulica

an area of technology that is concerned with the study or use of robots

robotica

(physics) the universal force of attraction between any pair of objects with mass

zwaartekracht, gravitatiekracht
