Overview: In this unit, students investigate electric and magnetic forces and fields and their applications in technological devices.
Students will:
explain the behaviour of electric charges, using the laws that govern electrical interactions
describe electrical phenomena, using the electric field theory
explain how the properties of electric and magnetic fields are applied in numerous devices.
Key Concepts: electric charge, conservation of charge, Coulomb’s law, vector fields, electric field, magnetic field, electric potential difference, interaction of charges with electric and magnetic fields, charge quantization—Millikan’s experiment, electromagnetic induction
