Georgia State University provides an indexing page for several other pages at the same site which contain information on electricity and magnetism concepts. Pages linked from this page contain many informative graphics, equations,...

Text and animated graphic show how lightning is an example of a natural capacitor.

A general summary of electrical resistance including a comparison of AC and DC current.

Link to nine major physics topics and dig deeper into the content. Find out about the work of scientists in each field and see example physical science experiments.

At this site from Georgia State University Ohm's law is stated in words and using equations. A JavaScript form allows for multiple practice problems with instant feedback and reinforcement. Kirchoff's current law is stated and...

Learn anything you ever wanted to know and more about electrical circuits here. Complete with in-depth explanations and detailed diagrams.

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which...

Visit Adlet in the Inuit village, and help her find out how she can use electricity safely.

Join Mathias as he takes care of the electrical problems in his uncle's office. Help him figure it out, and fix the lights.

The god of thunder, Thor, controls thunder and lightning. Let's ask Thor about electric circuits.

A Bright Idea shows several different power sources and asks students to write about friction, electricity, combustion or light.

A solid biography of good length and history of Faraday's work. Complete, readable, thorough. Picture. Lots of links to other sources, including Joseph Henry's claim that *he* was first, and another about Faraday's kinetic flashlight!

A solid telling of Oersted's scientific achievements, along with some interesting insight into Oersted's personal beliefs. Many links.

Brief information about Michael Faraday and his extensive accomplishments in the field of electricity.

Provides background information on the Edison Effect and then discusses Fleming's invention.

This site boasts an extensive list of physics animations that cover topics such as electricity, magnetism, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Variables can be manipulated for each demonstration.

"Juice" is a slang term sometimes used for electricity. Batteries are made up of one or more cells. Cells often consist of two different materials in a solution that are connected to each other by a wire. In this experiment, you will...

A teacher lesson plan which could be easily converted into an idea for a student project or presentation. This page describes an activity in which the water-electricity analogy is used to investigate the relationship between current,...

This lesson plan contains several activities designed to help the student understand the magnetic effects of an electrical current.

A guided inquiry that involves observation of the parts of a light bulb in a lab.

In this instructional activity, young scholars will investigate what they can do to produce a stronger electromagnet. Students will use the scientific thinking process to conduct investigations and build explanations. They will present...

This activity introduces students to the concepts of electrical current and open and closed circuits. Students will act out open and closed circuits as a whole class with some students acting as the "motors" or "light bulbs."

Young scholars will explore how magnets can create a current by making their own headphones and listening to music from their iPods.

Through a series of self-guided activities, students will explore basic electrical circuits and then build a working model of a circuit through the process of wiring a lamp. They will understand the flow of electrons through a circuit,...
