This wave and electromagnetism assignment is so thorough, it could be used as a unit exam. The first section of it covers wave concepts. The next section addresses static electricity. There is a section that deals with electric circuits....

Wow! Colorful and simple, these 160 slides introduce the various forms of energy, along with a relevant image. Some of the images are animations, which help beginning physical scientists to visualize the flow of electrons or energy! This...

Learners experiment with a Leyden Jar, a device that stores electrical charges. A large voltage can be built up in this jar by adding more and more charge. The modern name for this device is a capacitor.

Challenge your physics class to implement their knowledge of electric fields by completing this worksheet as homework. There are 15 problems to solve, for which pupils compute electrostatic force, electric field strength, and electric...

Young scientists study the construction of a battery through experimentation. They engage in five experiments which combine to create a thorough study of the history of batteries beginning with a model of the first battery.

In this electrostatic worksheet, pupils determine the potential of a charge that moves in an electric field. Students define a coulomb, This worksheet has 5 multiple choice questions and 2 problems to solve.

The presentation begins with a circuit building activity and two data tables for young scientists to copy and complete. Full of clever animations, it will definitely spark student interest! However, the information is incoherent. You may...

In this microphones activity, students answer five questions about different types of microphones such as moving coil, crystal, and carbon microphones.

A simulation investigating a parallel-plate capacitor which is charged by connecting one plate to the positive end of a battery, and the other plate to the negative end. The battery sends electrons from one capacitor plate to the other...

Explore how a capacitor works! Change the size of the plates and add a dielectric to see how it affects capacitance. Change the voltage and see charges built up on the plates. Shows the electric field in the capacitor. Measure voltage...

A rather mathematical explanation of a capacitor. Gives all the appropriate formulae, with many hotwords for further info.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the different changes that could be made to an air filled capacitor and the results that occur because of these changes. Students can vary the gap between the plates, the size of the...

Online university physics text called "Hyperphysics". Three sections here: Capacitors, Capacitor Combinations, Charge on Series Capacitors. These are nice clean lessons, good illustrations, many hotwords to assist. A fine online lesson,...

In this interactive tutorial students will be introduced to capacitance and the electric fields inside a capacitor. Learn what factors affect capacitance. Also learn about dielectric and how it affects capacitance.

Adjust the distance between plates in a parallel-plate capacitor in this simulation, and observe the effects on the electric field.
