Form 2 Physics Notes PHYSICS FORM TWO TOPIC 5: SIMPLE MACHINES msomimaktaba, November 6, 2018February 13, 2019 Simple Machines A simple machine is a non-powered mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. A simple machine uses a single applied force to do… Continue Reading
Form 2 Physics Notes PHYSICS FORM TWO TOPIC 2: CURRENT ELECTRICITY msomimaktaba, November 6, 2018February 13, 2019 Electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit, measured in Coulombs/second which is named Amperes. In most DC electric circuits, it can be assumed that the resistance to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is… Continue Reading
