College Physical Science                                                        Outline 12                                                             Period 2/ Stevens

 

Chapter 11 Electricity    Objectives - After completing this final physics section you will be able to:

 


1.        Explain the characteristics of static charge and how it is generated through conduction and induction.

2.        Understand the unit of electric charge as it relates to electrons. 

3.        Recognize and interpret Coulomb’s Law (inverse square law).

4.        Understand the origin of electric current and its units.

5.        Understand potential difference (voltage) and how it relates to work and potential energy.

6.        Understand the concept of electrical resistance and the key factors that affect its value.

7.        Use Ohm’s Law to develop a qualitative and quantitative understanding of current, voltage, resistance, and the connections between them and water flow through a pipe.

8.        Recognize series and parallel circuits and understand their relation to current and voltage.

9.        Understand how electric power relates to current and voltage.

10.     Analyze circuits (find the current at any point and the potential difference between any two points in the circuit) using Kirchoff’s Rules and Ohm’s law.
