Outcomes

In this course you will learn about:

1. Expanding brackets.
2. Factorising by grouping.
3. Factorising by finding the difference of two squares.
4. Factorising trinomials.
5. Simplifying algebraic fractions

• Determine the variables that affect the strength and direction of the electric field for a static arrangement of charges.
• Investigate the variables that affect the strength of the electrostatic potential (voltage).
• Explain equipotential lines and compare them to the electric field lines.
• For an arrangement of static charges, predict the electric field lines. Verify the prediction using vector addition.

This video explains about coefficient, constant, variable and exponents. Useful for introductions to the topic and/or extension work. 

• Relate the electrostatic force magnitude to the charges and the distance between them
• Explain Newton's third law for electrostatic forces
• Use measurements to determine Coulomb’s constant
• Determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive

Concept of density. This YouTube video will provide information about the concept of density. It’s great to use as an introduction to the topic or as a way to summarise the topic.

Density of a solid for a regular shaped body. Definition, meaning and its simple calculation

This video explains how to find factors.

A force diagram is a useful tool to help us visualise forces acting on an object and gives us informa- tion about the object’s motion. We often use force diagrams when solving calculations involving the forces acting on an object.

By the end of this lesson you will be able to:

1. Define and explain what a force is
2. List and describe the main kinds of forces
3. Explain the effects of a force

• Predict, qualitatively, how an external force will affect the speed and direction of an object's motion.
• Explain the effects with the help of a free body diagram.
• Use free body diagrams to draw position, velocity, acceleration and force graphs and vice versa.
• Explain how the graphs relate to one another.
• Given a scenario or a graph, sketch all four graphs.
