Physics 2.6 Demonstrate understanding of electricity and electromagnetism

Sites for revision

Electricity and magnetism – Molecular Expressions
A resource of information about electricity and magnetism, including topics about how a compact disc and the digital video drive, battery, generator and motor works, and the definitions of capacitance, inductance and resistance. There are a number of interactive simulations. Suitable for NCEA levels 1 and 2.
