MCAS Questions |
|
|
| 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. |

Summary List |
| 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. |
2005-10 |
| 5.4
Describe conceptually the attractive or repulsive forces between objects
relative to their charges and the distance between them (Coulomb’s
law). |
2006-28 |
| 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. |
2004-15 |
| 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. |
