- Electric Charge and Static Electricity Charges that are the same repel each other. Charges that are different attract each other.
- Electric Charge and Static Electricity An electric field is a region around a charged object where the object’s electric force is exerted on other charged objects.
- Electric Current Electric current is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material.
- Electric Current An electric circuit is a complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow. (Read information on a basic circuit, but do not worry about the associated Activity 1).
- Electric Circuits Simple symbols are used to diagram a circuit.
- Electric Current Use the website below to explore the difference between conductors and insulators (at the atomic level). Be sure to click on the ‘Explore Some More’ button to see an example of a lab that tests for conductors and insulators (YOU will be writing a lab just like this one!!)
- Electric Current Two factors that affect the resistance of water flowing in a pipe are diameter and length. The diameter and length of a wire also affect resistance in a circuit.
