Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front ammeter
    Back an instrument that measures current
  • Front Ampere’s law
    Back the physical law that states that the magnetic field around an electric current is proportional to the current; each segment of current produces a magnetic field like that of a long straight wire, and the total field of any shape current is the vector sum of the fields due to each segment
  • Front analog meter
    Back a measuring instrument that gives a readout in the form of a needle movement over a marked gauge
  • Front B-field
    Back another term for magnetic field
  • Front back emf
    Back the emf generated by a running motor, because it consists of a coil turning in a magnetic field; it opposes the voltage powering the motor

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 21, 22, 23 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
