Electric Circuits
Static Electricity and Electric Fields
Two atoms walking down a road. One says to the other, "I've lost an electron." The other says, "Are you sure?". The first atom says, "Yes - Positive". Why is this hilarious? You'll find out in this lesson... Download the flashcard template and answer the questions and then use them for retrieval quizzes.
Electric Circuits
This is an introduction into electric circuits. We'll look at circuit components and the difference between a series and parallel circuit is. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Electric Current
There are three really important definitions that you must know when describing electricity. Electric Current is the first of these three that we look at. We'll start to describe how electricity flows. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Potential Difference
Potential Difference. Voltage. We'll define this today and look at the equation. V important... Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Resistance
The definition of resistance links potential difference to electric current. So making sure your understanding of them is strong is a good idea before moving on to todays lesson. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
I-V Characteristics
What are the characteristics of different components when you change the potential difference across them and electric current through them? This lesson links up some of the learning you've done so far and explains why wires can get hot. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Thermistors and LDRs
What is a Thermistor? What is an LDR? These questions will be answered in this lesson. It's all about Thermistors and LDRs! Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Series and Parallel Circuits
Today, you will learn how to calculate the electric current through, potential difference across and resistance of components in series and parallel. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
