We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
Concept Builder: Electric Field
A Concept Builder provides an opportunity to put to practice a developing understanding of a concept while solidifying and refining that understadning. This Electric Field Concept Builder has more of a focus on the mathematics of electric field ... you'll probably be there soon.
Minds On Physics the App, Part 4, Missions SE10 in the Static Electricity Module
Minds On Physics includes interactive questioning modules that provide a rigorous workout in careful reading, analytical thinking, and conceptual reasoning. Mission SE10 from our Static Electricity module is all about the electric field concept. Put on your work-out clothes and get started.
Physics Interactives, Static Electricity Chapter, Put the Charge in the Goal Simulation
This is a game-like environment in which you place charges on a hockey rink in order to guide a charged object around obstacles towards the goal. You might as well have phun while you learn about electric fields.
Physics Classroom Tutorial, Static Elecricity Chapter
Sometimes you need a written reference to freshen up on what you're learning. And that written reference would be the Tutorial section of our website. The following page will be helpful complement to this video:
