Reading and Questions
As in the last topic, we will be using a document that contains most of the information you will need: Electricity and Magnetism - Student Notes.
To begin the unit, let's start with a brief history of electricity! We will watch the video on the right, but if this is really your sort of thing, definitely check out the (much) longer video below, as well.
In today's lesson, we will complete up through page 6 of the Student Notes. You will need the "Balloons and Static Electricity" simulator, attached below.
Homework: read P170-173 in your textbook, and complete the questions in yellow before the next lesson.
Lesson 2: current and potential difference
Lesson 2: current and potential difference
In Lesson 2, we will lecture through the Student Notes up until page 8. The topic of lesson two is current (moving charges), and we will also introduce the idea of potential difference.
Homework: read P176-179 in your textbook, and complete the questions in yellow before the next lesson.
Lesson 3: simulated circuits!
Lesson 3: simulated circuits!
First, the Youtube video on the right will give you instructions on how to set up a basic circuit in the PHET simulator. After you watch it, please write your answers to the pdf below in your notebooks. You may have to draw some diagrams, but it's good for you. The link to the simulator is right here -->
Homework: complete the handout if not done by the end of class.

Lesson 4: Ohm's Law
Lesson 4: Ohm's Law
Here we will look at the important relationship between current, voltage, and resistance. This is the foundation of all electronics and electrical engineering!
Falstad Circuits - Ohm's Law.pdfLesson 5 and 6: Series and Parallel Circuits
Lesson 5 and 6: Series and Parallel Circuits
In this lesson, we will investigate the properties of series and parallel circuits, and see what happens when we put them together. We will be using the falstad.com circuit simulator again.
Homework: Read in your text to page 189, answering the questions in yellow.
In Lesson 6, we will analyze circuits and find the power across individual components. After working through the problems, check your answers in the teacher's notes.
Homework: Read through page 191 and answer questions in yellow. All text solutions can be found here.
