  1. Describe simple experiments to show the production and detection of electrostatic charges.

  2. State that unlike charges attract, and like charges repel.

  3. Define current as the rate of flow of charge.

  4. Distinguish between conductors and insulators of electricity, stating the role of free electrons in conductors.

  5. Describe the use of an ammeter, stating the units of current as Amperes (A).

  6. Describe the use of a voltmeter, stating the units of potential difference as volts (V).

  7. Define resistance as opposition to the flow of current, stating its unit as the Ohm (Ω).

  8. Describe the factors that affect the resistance of a conductor: thickness, length and type of material.

  9. Calculate the combined resistance of two resistors in series.

  10. State and use the equation V= IR.

  There are no required readings.
