I. CONTENT STANDARDS
5. Electromagnetism
Central Concept: Stationary and moving charged particles result in the phenomena known as electricity
and magnetism.
5.1 Recognize that an electric charge tends to be static on insulators and can move on and in
conductors. Explain that energy can produce a separation of charges.
5.2 Develop qualitative and quantitative understandings of current, voltage, resistance, and the
connections among them (Ohm’s law).
5.3 Analyze simple arrangements of electrical components in both series and parallel circuits.
Recognize symbols and understand the functions of common circuit elements (battery,
connecting wire, switch, fuse, resistance) in a schematic diagram.
5.4 Describe conceptually the attractive or repulsive forces between objects relative to their charges
and the distance between them (Coulomb’s law).
5.5 Explain how electric current is a flow of charge caused by a potential difference (voltage), and
how power is equal to current multiplied by voltage.
5.6 Recognize that moving electric charges produce magnetic forces and moving magnets produce
electric forces. Recognize that the interplay of electric and magnetic forces is the basis for electric
motors, generators, and other technologies.
