Learning about charge and forces of attraction will be keys to understanding electrostatics and the basis of this learning unit. Developing a greater understanding of charge and the charge model is necessary to understanding electricity.

From The Scots Guide to Electronics web site. The meaning of electric potential is described. A combination of diagrams and words are used to explain this difficult concept without the use of mathematics. Very well done!

Learn how electric charges work and about Coulomb's Law, which is used to calculate the strength of an electric force.

In this hands-on activity, students explore the electrical force that takes place between two objects. Each student builds an electroscope and uses the device to draw conclusions about objects' charge intensity. Students also determine...

This lesson focuses on static electricity, including how particles can be charged by friction, and electrical forces and why they repel or attract each other. Includes a link to a test.

This informative tutorial on Coulomb's Law and electric force in physics features a definition as well as formulas, diagrams, and learning exercises.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate how electric force, charge, and distance all relate to each other in Coulomb's Law. Presents Coulomb's Law, the SI unit for charge, the...

A teacher lesson plan which includes several hands-on activities pertaining to static charge, charge interactions, and the induction process. Students use readily available materials to investigate these concepts. Designed for pre-high...
