Indiana State Standards for Physics 1
that relate to Ch 34 - Electric Current
Background:
The Indiana
Academic Standards 2000 for Physics I contain two standards and
four supporting themes. The standards are:
- Standard 1: The Principles of Physics
- Standard 2: Historical Perspectives of Physics
The supporting themes are:
- The Nature of Science and Technology
- Scientific Thinking
- The Mathematical World
- Common Themes
The Standards that Relate to Chapter 34 - Electric Current are:
- The Properties of Matter
- P.1.4 Employ correct units in describing common physical
quantities.
- The Nature of Energy
- P.1.14 Explain the relation between energy (E) and power
(P). Explain the definition of the unit of power, the
watt.
- The Nature of Electricity & Magnetism
- P.1.18 Explain the concepts of ... electric current,
electric potential, electric field ... Use the definitions of
.... the ampere, the volt...
- P.1.19 Analyze simple arrangements of electrical components
in series and parallel circuits. Know that any resistive
element in a DC circuit dissipates energy, which heats the
resistor. Calculate the power (rate of energy dissipation)
using the formula Power = IV = I2R.
