Static electricity (physics only) key terms

electric field

electric field is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: State that an electric field gets weaker further from the charged object..

electric field gets

In Electric fields, electric field gets means the precise GCSE Physics idea needed to state that an electric field gets weaker further from the charged object. It helps avoid mixing up current, charge and time.

electric field

electric field is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain that a second charged object placed in an electric field experiences a force..

second charged object

In Electric fields, second charged object means the precise GCSE Physics idea needed to explain that a second charged object placed in an electric field experiences a force. It helps avoid mixing up current, charge and time.

charged object

charged object is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain that the force between charged objects gets stronger as distance decreases..

force between charged

In Electric fields, force between charged means the precise GCSE Physics idea needed to explain that the force between charged objects gets stronger as distance decreases. It helps avoid mixing up current, charge and time.

electric field

electric field is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Draw the electric field pattern for an isolated charged sphere..

electric field pattern

In Electric fields, electric field pattern means the precise GCSE Physics idea needed to draw the electric field pattern for an isolated charged sphere. It helps avoid mixing up current, charge and time.

electric field
