Electricity and Magnetism Study Guide
Name
LT 1: I can explain moving and static electrical charges (the behavior of charged objects).
1. Draw a simple series circuit with a light bulb as your load, a battery as your energy source, and include a switch.
2. Explain why your circuit looks the way that it does (Why would it work/ why is this the correct way?).
3. If your light bulb did not light up, what are 3 things you could check to try and solve your problem?
4. What causes static electricity?
5. Why do you get shocked when you touch something that is “charged?”
LT 2: I can describe the behavior of magnets.
6. Draw the behavior of magnetic fields of two opposite poles.
7. Draw the behavior of magnetic fields of two like poles.
LT 3: I can explain the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
8. Electricity and magnetism are like two sides of the same coin. In other words, electricity and magnetism are two
aspects on one single force- the electromagnetic force. Why do we say this?
LT 4: I can use knowledge of electromagnetism to solve real life problems.
9. What are some ways that electromagnets are used in everyday life? What are some products that use
electromagnets?
LT 5: I can describe how the four fundamental forces of the universe affect the matter
around us.
Force
1. GRAVITY
2. ELECTROMAGNETISM
3. STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE
4. WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE
