BASIC ELECTRICITY: current, voltage, resistance, power =VI, energy =VIt. Ohm's law V=IR, ohmic resistors, series & parallel resistors. Component characteristics and uses (includes diodes)
ELECTRIC FIELDS: electrostatics, electric field strength, force on a charge, Ep (electrical),
MAGNETISM: magnetic fields, magnetic force on a current (F=BIL), right hand rules, magnetic force on a charge (F=Bqv), electric motor.
INDUCTION: wire moving in a magnetic. field, V = BvL, Applications – production of electricity, simple generator, [transformer, induction coil – level 3]
