Introduction to the concepts of electricity, electric charge, electric and magnetic fields, voltage, current and resistance, electromagnetism, law of electromagnetic induction and its applications.

3rd Grade of Gymnasium

What is electric charge? Why do we get electric shocks? How can we charge an object? How many types of charges exist in nature? What is the connection between electricity and magnetism? What is electric current? What are the types of resistor connection used in electronic circuits? What is voltage?

The objective of this physics demonstration is to introduce students to the concepts of electrostatics like electric charge, static electricity, electric force, electric field and electric field lines. In addition, through experiments, students will become familiar with the connection between electricity and magnetism, electric current, circuits, types of resistor connections, Ohm’s Law and applications of electromagnetism in everyday life.
