Monday

Periods 3-4, 8-9:

Please check out two videos on magnetism caused by electric currents. One is on Ampere's law, which will be to magnetic fields what Gauss's law is to electric fields. Focus especially on just a single straight wire, and the magnetism that circulates around the current.

The second is on the magnetic forces between two currents; since each wire with current is producing magnetism, then it is like having two magnets. Wires can attract and repel each other, depending on the direction of the current. Assume currents are positive, and we will use the 'curly right hand rule' for wires to figure out which direction the magnetism circulates.

Be sure the simulations are completed and shared. Also, lab groups can work on completing the questions if needed. We will discuss and collect Tuesday.


Period 5: 

Be sure your E&M topic research is completed and shared by now, so our eBook can be completed. Also, be sure the Friday videos and questions are completed. We'll go through them tomorrow.

Today, work with a partner on the first two pages of the static electricity packet. Feel free to look up terms as needed on the first page, and if needed to look up materials on the second page. Conductors allow electricity to flow, and insulators do not allow electricity to flow.

Should you have extra time, by all means you can try to work ahead. Or, you can work on other stuff. Thanks!
