unlike charges attract
like charges repel
Describe and interpret simple experiments to show the production and detection of electrostatic charges by friction
Inflate a balloon and rub it quickly on any dry surface e.g. a carpet. Then open a tap and hold the balloon next to it (without touching the water). You should see that the water bends towards the balloon!
Tear up a piece of paper into small bits. Then take a ruler, rub it on your hair and place them just above the bits of paper, without touching them. You should see the paper get attracted to the ruler.
This kind of attraction is called electrostatic attraction. This happens because of the charges on the materials.
- State that charging a body involves the addition or removal of electrons.
- Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size.
- Distinguish between electrical conductors and insulators and give typical examples
Conductors are materials in which current can flow. Examples: copper, aluminum, gold and silver.
Insulators cannot conduct electricity. Examples: glass, wood, paper, air and rubber.
- Current is the flow of charge (electrons) within a circuit.
- State that current in metals is due to a flow of electrons
- Resistance is directly proportional to length
- Resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area
inversely proportional- the two quantities behave opposite in nature.
parallel circuit
- sum of currents in the separate branches = current from source
- total circuit resistance = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
- current from source > current in each branch
- the lower the resistance, the higher the current.
- combined resistance of two resistors
- voltage across all the components is the same in a parallel circuit
- I = Q / t
current = electric charge / time
amperes [A] = coulombs [C] / time [s]
- R = V / I
Resistance = voltage / current
Increasing the resistance will cause the current to decrease.
- I = P / V
current = electric power / potential difference
- E = IVt
energy = current x voltage x time
- Recall and use the fact that the sum of the p.d.s across the components in a series circuit is equal to the total p.d. across the supply
p.d. = resistance
- Calculate the combined resistance of two resistors in parallel

Margrave's Divinity (Rewrite)
Power always comes with a price. Seventeen years ago, obsidian towers thousands of feet tall erupted from the earth near the world’s population centers. Strange magic accompanied their appearance—powerful and inexplicable abilities granted to lucky humans, called Embers for the burning in their eyes. Lyle isn’t lucky, though. When the recently-unemployed college dropout finally manages to get his hands on a Cinder, he is utterly disappointed to find that he will never be an Ember like his father or brother. Before he even has time to process his failure, a strange Ember shoves him through a tear in reality and into the cave of a dragon, where the titanic beast claims to be an ancient goddess of myth and legend. She has a gift for him, but it comes with a warning. War is coming. --- Posting Thursdays and Sundays at 8am Central. Confused about the rewrite? See my letter to previous readers here.

Accused: The KC Warlock Weekly, Book One
My name is Levi. I’m a journalist, I’m autistic, I’m bad at magic, and I swear I didn’t kill her.Research for the paper usually falls into a few basic patterns. Someone in the city says there’s a troll under Buck O'Neil Bridge, or they’ll call just so a friendly ear will listen to them complain about a pixie infestation.That sort of content carries me through slow news weeks. It’s rare that I uncover a murder.Being framed for murder, though? That’s a first.With the Wizard’s Council hunting me for a crime I didn’t commit, I’ve got no choice but to solve the murder and clear my name. If I don’t unravel this case, nobody will, and I’ll go down for it so hard I might never see the light of day again.

The Warrens
The Warrens is a story about four siblings (quadruplets); a spy, a mechanic/inventor, an assassin, and a detective (though they kept it from each other), who are trying to save their parents. One day, Nica, one of the quadruplets, found a pair of black headphones, and that's when their 'normal' lives went haywire. Libero, an organization who wants to rule the world using mind control, are after them. the question though, was 'why?'. Will they be able to save what matters most in the end? This is my first story here in Royal Road Legends! Hope you appreciate it!
