Module 6 | Electromagnetism
Content 1: Charged particles, conductors and electric and magnetic fields
Lesson 1 | Charges in electric fields
-
investigate and quantitatively derive and analyse the interaction between charged particles and uniform electric fields, including: (ACSPH083)
– electric field between parallel charged plates ()
– acceleration of charged particles by the electric field (, )
– work done on the charge (, , ) -
model qualitatively and quantitatively the trajectories of charged particles in electric fields and compare them with the trajectories of projectiles in a gravitational field
Lesson 2 | The motion of charged particles moving in a uniform magnetic field
-
analyse the interaction between charged particles and uniform magnetic fields, including: (ACSPH083)
– acceleration, perpendicular to the field, of charged particles
– the force on the charge () -
compare the interaction of charged particles moving in magnetic fields to:
– the interaction of charged particles with electric fields
– other examples of uniform circular motion (ACSPH108)
