Unit 7: Electrostatics
Electrostatics involve the attractions and repulsion of charged particles. This unit will show you why a balloon sticks to a wall and by what force.
1: Conduction, Induction, and Friction
Learn how objects can be charged different ways and the resulting phenomenon that occurs because of charge including lightning.
2: Coulomb's Law: Calculating the Electrostatic Force
Learn how to use Coulomb's Law and how to calculate the electric force felt on charged objects when a distance apart.
3: Electric Fields
Learn how do draw and calculate electric fields
4: Potential Difference (Voltage)
The desire of a single charge to move from an area of high charge to an area with less charge
