Electricity and Magnetism

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The standard basics of electricity are detailed in this clear-cut collection of slides. Straightforward explanations are offered for static electricity, series and parallel circuits, conductors, insulators, and resistance. Some animation is employed for demonstrating current electricity. A practice slide displays a chart with missing values for ohms, volts, and amps. This is a clever combination of notes, visuals, and practice problems that will put some spark into your introductory electricity lesson!
