HP Cycle 38

5/4 - 5/9

W 5/4

Th 5/5

F 5/6

M 5/9

🟢 6: W 5/4, 🔵 8: W 5/4 - ➕ Positive Physics electric field & potential

Today, we'll practice superposition of electric force by doing ➕ Positive Physics unit 23: Electric Fields & Potential "work" problems from the sections:

  • Electric Fields

  • Electric Field Calculations (particles)

  • Electric Potential Energy Problems

  • Challenge

Optional Extra Practice: More Electrostatics Problems (answers provided)

Homework: Finish these ➕ Positive Physics problems by Sunday, at 10pm. Only completion score counts. No late work will be accepted.

🟩 6: F 5/6, 🟦 8: Th 5/5 - electric current information

Today, we’ll start Unit 9 and talk about what makes current flow. We’ll relate circuits to the concepts of electric fields and electric potential.

If you were absent or need a review, watch the first 12 minutes of the "Electric Current Introduction" video to learn how circuits relate to the concepts of electric fields and electric potential.

Then, we'll do a lab where you will construct the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. You will record your data and analysis in the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (in-person)". We'll have time next class to finish getting data or do analysis. If you are not present for either day of the lab, you'll do the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (virtual)".

Presentation: Electric Current Introduction

Homework: Either ↩️ Pivot lab due by Monday, May 9th by 10pm.

💚 6: M 5/9, 💙 8: F 5/6 - current & voltage lab

Today, we'll finish a lab where you will construct the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. You will record your data and analysis in the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (in-person)". If you are not present for either day of the lab, you'll do the lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Current and Voltage in Conductors (virtual)" where you will construct the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

If you finish early, go on to the next lesson.

Homework: You should have had enough time in class to finish the lab, but if you didn't, finish the ↩️ Pivot lab by Monday, May 9th by 10pm. We will be using the findings from this lab in the next lesson.
