Description
Dear learner,
In the second module of physics, we have covered three units: static and current electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves, and geometrical optics. Each unit includes expected lessons, and every lesson comprises lesson notes, a minimum of five activities, a lesson summary, a self-check test, and downloadable offline resources.
Competencies
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to;
- Identify the different types of electromagnetic waves and their properties across the EM spectrum.
- Describe the properties of magnets and the characteristics of magnetic fields.
- Discuss practical applications of magnetism in everyday life and technology.
- Explain the nature of electric charge, the methods of charging a body, and Coulomb’s law of electrostatics.
- Construct and analyze simple electric circuits using resistors in series and parallel combinations.
- Analyze the function of mirrors, lenses, and filters in manipulating light.
