Indiana State Standards for Physics 1

that relate to Ch 32 - Electrostatics

The Indiana Academic Standards 2000 for Physics I contain two standards and four supporting themes. The standards are:

The supporting themes are:

The Properties of Matter
- P. 1.1 Describe matter in terms of its fundamental constituents, and be able to differentiate among those constituents.
- P.1.2 Measure or determine the physical quantities including ... charge....
- P.1.4 Employ correct units in describing common physical quantities.
The Relationships Between Motion and Force
- P.1.10 Demonstrate an understanding of the inverse square nature of gravitational and electrostatic forces.
The Nature of Electricity and Magnetism
- P.1.17 Describe the interaction between stationary charges using Coulomb's Law....
- P.1.18 Explain the concept of electric charge, ... Use the definition of the Coulomb...
The Nature of Atomic and Subatomic Physics
- P.1.29 Describe the nuclear model of the atom in terms of mass and spatial relationships of the electrons, protons, and neutrons.
- P.1.30 Explain that the nucleus, although it contains nearly all of the mass of the atom, occupies less than the proportion of the solar system occupied by the Sun. Explain that the mass of a neutron or a proton is about 2000 times greater than the mass of an electron.
- P.1.31 Explain the role of the strong nuclear force in binding matter together.
