Unit 2 — Electricity and Magnetism

Overview

Overview

  • Third Preparatory, Science, Term 1 (English edition).
  • The unit has three lessons (1) Electric Current, (2) Electric Circuits, (3) Electric and Magnetic Forces.
  • In Lesson 1 you learn what current, potential difference, emf and resistance mean and how to measure them.
  • In Lesson 2 you learn Ohm’s law, how resistors are connected, and how to calculate electric power, energy and the cost of electricity.
  • In Lesson 3 you discover that electricity and magnetism are linked, which leads to the electromagnet, the electric motor and the electric generator.
