Unit 11: Electrostatics
The main objectives of this unit are:
- Understand there are two types of charges
- Understand what it means to be postively charged, negatively charged, or to be neutral
- Understand the units of charge and how it relates to the charge of an electron
- Understand attraction and repulsion between charged and neutral objects
- Understand HOW Coulomb tested his relationship
- Understand how to apply Coulomb's Law
- Understand what an electric field is and what it does
- Understand how to determine the direction of the electric field
- Understand how to draw the electric field
- Understand how to calculate the electric field
- Understand how to calculate the force on a charge in an electric field
