Principle
Magnetism is a phenomenon that can be attributed to electromagnetic interaction. It manifests itself through the force that acts on magnetisable material and moving electric charges. The force is hereby conveyed via a magnetic field. Measurement is ma ...
The connection between electrical voltage and the resulting current is measured with various test resistors.The quotient of voltage and current is a constant value that characterises the component.
The behaviour of a filament lamp at the moment it is switched on is to be examined.
The behaviour of the current and voltage at a capacitor at the moment it is switched on is determined here.
An alternating voltage is induced in acoil in the (alternating) field of a periodically moving magnet. The characteristic of a diode to allow electric current only to pass in one direction is used to rectify the induced alternating voltage. A capacito ...
The resistance of a short thick wire is different to that of a long thin one.
Tasks
Examine how the value of the resistance of a wire depends on its length and cross-sectional area.
In households, electrical devices are often connected in parallel to different sockets of the same electric circuit. The total current and the total resistance of the circuit can be predicted from the partial resistances.
Various components in a circuit can be connected in series. The total resistance and the total current can be calculated from the partial resistances of the components.
Many controls on electrical devices are potentiometers. A potentiometer acts as a voltage divider. It corresponds to a series connection of two variable resistors with a centre tap, whereby the sum of the resistance of the two resistors remains consta ...
A greater number of lamps means more power than a smaller number of lamps. How much voltage and current do you need for the many lamps? Which conclusions on electrical power and work can you drawn from this?

Capacitors are devices that can store charge. Here the details of how the charge gets in and out of the capacitor is looked at.
Examine the behaviour of the voltage and current of a capacitor during the charg ...
A diode only allows electric current to pass in one direction and blocks the other one to the current. It therefore acts as an electric valve. This enables alternating current to also be usable to pump charge into a capacitor.
Tasks< ...
A diode only allows current to flow in one direction and blocks the flow of itin the other direction. So the current can flow only during a half wave through a diode in an alternating current circuit.
Measure ...
Electric motors for not too high power and simple dynamos are frequently based on the basic principle that an electromagnet rotates in the field of a permanent magnet (or several of them).
Examine the behavio ...
