Physics Definitions

Frictional Electricity : The charges at rest can be produced due to friction between two insulating bodies which are rubbed against each other. The electricity so developed is called frictional electricity.
Ferromagnetic substances : Those substances which placed in a magnetic field are strongly magnetized in the direction of the applied field are called ferromagnetic substances. e.g. iron, nickel , cobalt etc.
Flux Linkages : The product of number of turns (N) of the coil and the flux (ф) linking the coil is called flux linkages. i.e. Flux Linkages = N ф.
Fraunhoffer Lines : A number of dark lines observed in the otherwise continuous spectrum of the sun are called fraunhoffer lines.
Forbidden Energy Gap : The separation between conduction band and valence band on the energy level diagram is known as forbidden energy gap.
Forward Biasing : When external voltage applied to the junction is in such a direction that it cancles the potential barrier, thus permiting current flow, it is called forwarf biasing.
Frequency Modulation (FM) : When the frequency of carrier wave is changed in accordance with the intensity of the signal, it is called frequency modulation.
