Gravitational Field Strength - The gravitational field strength at any point is the force acting
per unit mass at that point.
Newtons Law of Gravitation - The gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is
directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square
of the distance between them.
Gravitational Potential - The work done per unit mass in moving the mass from infinity to
the point.
Gravitational Potential Difference - Energy needed to move a unit mass from one point in
a field to another.
Electric Field Strength - The electric field strength at any point is the force acting per unit
charge at that point.
Electric Potential - The work done per unit charge on a positive charge in moving the charge
from infinity to the point.
Electric Potential Difference - Energy needed to move a unit charge from one point in a
field to another.
Section 3 - Capacitors
Capacitance - The amount of charge stored per unit potential difference.
Lenzs Law - The induced e.m.f is always in such a direction as to oppose the change that
caused it.
Alternator - A generator of alternating current.
