In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students derive formulae for capacitors in series and parallel to reinforce their understanding of circuits involving capacitors.
The activities in this...
Produced by the Institute of Physics, this learning episode looks at the energy stored in a capacitor. Students undertake a practical investigation to look at the energy stored and how this varies with potential difference and capacitance.
...In this learning episode from the Institute of Physics, students investigate and characterise the exponential discharge of a capacitor.
Activities include:
• looking at exponential discharge
•...
From the Institute of Physics, this learning episode looks at energy stored in capacitors and springs as well as the comparison between radioactive decay and a capacitor's discharge. It allows students to explore the concepts of energy storage and exponential decrease...
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students discuss, examine and enhance their understanding of scalars and vectors. For some students this will be a revision session whilst others may be less familiar with the concepts. The topics examined include: * defining scalar and vector quantities *...
Produced by the Institute of Physics, this learning episode contains demonstrations and practical activities through which students learn about the conditions for static equilibrium (excluding moments of forces).
Students look at:
• forces on a horizontal washing line with a weight in the middle...
This learning episode from the Institute of Physics, uses discussion and experimental work to help students investigate the application of moments beyond the simple 'see-saw' model.
Activities lead to an application of moments to general equilibrium situations.
Students look at:
* moments and...
From the Institute of Physics, this episode introduces (or revises) the equations of motion. During a practical task, students undertake direct measurements to ensure that they understand the basic physics of velocity, distance and time.
Activities help students to understand:
• scalars and vectors,...
This learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, looks at basic kinematics and introduces the equations of motion for uniform acceleration. It involves practicing calculations and compares uniform with non-uniform acceleration.
Activities look at:
• non-uniform acceleration down a ramp
•...
Produced by the Institute of Physics, in this learning episode students discuss Newton's third law and use examples to clarify their understanding of its application.
The activities in this learning episode include:
* discussing Newton's third law
* understanding force pairs
* examining...
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students look at the forces involved when one vehicle impacts another object. This can be used to illustrate the forces, acceleration and deceleration involved. It considers the effect of the distance over which a force acts rather than the time of action of...
From the Institute of Physics, this resource is concerned with the conservation of mechanical energy and the principle in its wider context.
Students look at the meaning of power, undertake sample calculations and the measurement of human power.
Activities include:
• discussing the meaning of...
From the Institute of Physics, this learning episode extends the idea of conservation of momentum into elastic collisions, in which, because kinetic energy (KE) is conserved. Useful information can also be found by calculating the changes in KE of the colliding objects. The activities include: • introducing elastic...
This learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, uses demonstrations and worked examples to examine the forces involved in changing momentum. It introduces the concept of impulse.
The activities in the learning episode include:
* showing that impulse equals change in momentum
* a...
This learning episode from the Institute of Physics, uses worked examples and discussion to help students gain an understanding of circular motion, including linear velocity, angular velocity and angular acceleration. The activities include: * discussing linear and angular velocity * calculating angular velocity *...
