This wave and electromagnetism assignment is so thorough, it could be used as a unit exam. The first section of it covers wave concepts. The next section addresses static electricity. There is a section that deals with electric circuits....

Explains what a combination circuit is, reviews the features of series and parallel circuits, and demonstrates how to analyze combination circuits. Includes detailed examples and some problems for students to try. There is also a link to...

There are certain formulas in physics that are so powerful and so pervasive that they reach the state of popular knowledge. The predominant equation which pervades the study of electric circuits is often referred to as the Ohm's law...

How do Newton's Laws connect with electrical forces? This overview illustrates how they blend together. After studying this explanation, test understanding with the review questions provided.

When two or more electrical devices in a circuit can be connected, it is considered a series connection or a parallel connection. When all the devices are connected using series connections, the circuit is referred to as a series...

This informative tutorial on Coulomb's Law and electric force in physics features a definition as well as formulas, diagrams, and learning exercises.

Action at a Distance will enlighten learners studying electric fields. What are electric fields and what is the concept of action-at-a-distance? Take advantage of the interactive at the end of the reading.

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...
