Electric charge interaction force

Electrostatic forceCoulomb force is used in calculating the force of negative charge to attract positive charge
Electrodynamic forceAmpere force is used in calculating the force of electricity to make electric charge to move in a straight line path
Electromagnetomotive forceLorentz force is used in calculating the force of magnet to make electric charge to move in a straight line perpendicular to the original path
Electromagnetic forceis the sum of the 2 electrodynamic and electromagnetomotive force

Electricity typesdefinition Mathematical formula
DC electricityprovides constant voltage over time
AC electricityprovides time varying voltage over time

Electricity and matter

Matter that interacts with electricity are divided into three types Conductor, Semi Conductor, and Non Conductor

Conductorreferes to all matter allow current to flow easily like Metal for example Ferrite, CopperConductors are used in making passive electric components like
Resistor,
Capacitor,
Inductor
Semi Conductorreferes to all matter does not allow current to flow easily like Semi Conductor for example Silicon, GermaniumSemi - Conductors are used in making active electric components like
Diode,
Transistor,
FET
Non Conductorreferes to all matter does not allow current to flow like Rubber

Diode's circuit sysmbol

The IV chracteristic of diode is specified in IV Graph

As seen in the graph above the diode actually works in both the forward region and the backward region. In the forward region the value of I and V are positive and in the backward region I and V are negative.

Diode does not conduct current or turned OFF at of
Diode starts to conduct current or turned ON at of
