3.1. Charge interactionsStatic electricity deals with stationary electric charges, the forces they exert on each other, and how charge moves through or settles on different materials.3.2. Modelling electric fieldsElectric fields provide the foundational physical model for explaining how charged objects interact across space without direct physical contact.3.3. Electric CircuitsCurrent is how much charge passes a point each second, a bit like litres of water flowing through a pipe every second.3.4. Magnetic fields around permanent and temporary magnetsOnly a few materials are strongly attracted to magnets and can be made into magnets.3.5. The force experienced by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic fieldWhen a current-carrying conductor is placed inside an external magnetic field, the field around the conductor interacts with the external field.3.6. Induced potential difference and the generator effectIllustrated explanations, key terms and self-check questions.
