Physics of Mechanics

In this course you will study 

• Distance, speed, forces, gravity, acceleration, graphs of motion

• Pressure, work and power, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and the conservation of mechanical energy in free fall situations

• These will be related to everyday experiences such as journeys, sport and performance.

Physics of Electricity and Magnetism

In this course you will study 

• Static Electricity: positive and negative charge, conductors and insulators, uniform and non-uniform charge distributions, earthing, electrical discharge in air, separation of charge by friction, charging by contact.

• DC Electricity: voltage, current, resistance, power, series circuits and simple parallel circuits, circuit diagrams, the relationships 

• Magnetism: magnetic field of bar magnets, the earth’s magnetic field, magnetic fields due to currents in straight wires and solenoids, right-hand grip rule, electromagnet.
