5.1 Electric Fields
Nature of Science: Electrical theory demonstrates the scientific thought involved in the development of a microscopic model (behaviour of charge carriers) from macroscopic observation. The historical development and refinement of these scientific ideas when the microscopic properties were unknown and unobservable is testament to the deep thinking shown by the scientists of the time.
|
5.1.1
|
Define charge; Identify two forms of charge and describe how an object will "have" each form.
|
|
5.1.2
|
Describe, with respect to electrons, the properties of both conductors and insulators.
|
|
5.1.3
|
Explain each of the following methods of charging: Charging by friction and Charging by contact.
|
|
5.1.4
|
Explain the concept of separation of charge through the process of induction; Explain what is meant by grounding and how it relates to charging by induction.
|
|
5.1.5
|
Describe what is meant by an electric field. State the properties of an object that will affect the strength of its electric field.
|
|
5.1.6
|
Sketch electric field patterns for a negatively charged object, for a positively charged object, for an electric dipole (2 opposite charges near each other), and for 2 charges of the same form that are near each other.
