Learning Introductory Physics with Activities

Section 9.22 Electricity Summary

Exercises Activities: Summarize What You Learned

1. Relationships.

This chapter has explored different properties related to electricity. We discussed the electric force, charges, electric potential and electric fields, conductors and capacitors. Make a list of some of the equations, relationships, and definitions you have learned.

2. Simplify.

Your five-year-old neighbor is asking you what you’ve learned in your physics class so far. In a short paragraph, explain charges and electric fields in a way that a five-year-old might be able to understand. Make sure you define any complicated words in simple ways!
