Curated OER
Resistor-Capacitor Circuits
In this physics worksheet, students determine whether the current flows through the resistor after the switch is closed and explain why. Then they determine whether the capacitor will discharge faster or slower if there is an increase in...

Com Padre Digital Library: Open Source Physics: Charge Trajectories
Investigate a the forces exerted on a charged particle by electric and magnetic fields. Initially, find out how the charge behaves in an electric field. Then, see how the charge behaves in a magnetic field. Finally, initiate both fields...
