We cover this content as the introduction to Topic B.5 as it is helpful , we will consider the behavior of electrons, protons, and charged objects, as well as the forces acting on them. You may wish to review vector addition and subtraction from Skills, Topic 1.3.
Chalked and talked. Slides to follow.
In this lesson, we will explore gravitational and electric fields in more detail.
In Lesson 2, we look at mapping potential field lines and equipotential surfaces. We will use the attached Phet simulation to see what the fields and surfaces look like under various conditions.
How does the development of technology to measure and manipulate electromagnetic fields alter our perception of what constitutes knowledge in physics, and how reliable is this knowledge in varying contexts?
