AP Electrostatics Schedule, Notes and Sheets

We are about to begin our study of charged particles and how they interact with each other. We start with the forces between charges and how they can be described and analyzed using fields much as we use the gravitational field of planets to determine the force on masses. 

Sorry about giving you an assignment over the weekend in addition to the lab. However, the work load for this brief unit is not too severe, since these worksheets are shorter than usual, and there are few book problems. In any case, we are now about 3 days behind last year, and last year we had did not have enough review time for everyone, so we will have to push a bit. The material is not hard, just do not let some new terminology and a new type of force intimidate you. Everything we have learned so far about how to add forces and work and energy will be the same for electric forces.
