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 (\left | \vec{E} \right | = -\frac{V}{\vec{d}})
    – acceleration of charged particles by the electric field (\vec{F} = m\vec{a}, \vec{F} = q\vec{E})
    – work done on the charge (W = qV, W = qEd, K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2})

  • 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 (\vec{F} = q\vec{v}\vec{B}\sin \theta)

  • 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)
