Electric fields

Understandings:

• Charge
• Electric field
• Coulomb’s law
• Potential difference

Applications and skills:

• Identifying two forms of charge and the direction of the forces between them
• Solving problems involving electric fields and Coulomb’s law
• Calculating work done in an electric field in both joules and electronvolts

Guidance:

• Students will be expected to apply Coulomb’s law for a range of permittivity values
