Core Idea - Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

[HS.PHY.2.5] - Provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current. Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence can include movement of a magnetic compass when placed in the vicinity of a current-carrying wire, and a magnet passing through a coil that turns on the light of a Faraday flashlight. State Assessment Boundary: Explanations of motors or generators are not expected in state assessment.

Resources:

Predecessor Standards:

  • 7.PS.2.3
    Analyze data to describe the effect of distance and magnitude of electric charge on the strength of electric forces. Clarification Statement: Includes both attractive and repulsive forces. State Assessment Boundaries: State assessment will be limited to proportional reasoning. Calculations using Coulomb’s law or interactions of sub-atomic particles are not expected in state assessment.

Successor Standards:

No Successor Standards found.

Same Level Standards:

  • WCA.9-10.2
    Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures/ experiments, or technical processes.
  • HS.PHY.3.5
    Develop and use a model of magnetic or electric fields to illustrate the forces and changes in energy between two magnetically or electrically charged objects changing relative position in a magnetic or electric field, respectively. Clarification Statements: Emphasis is on the change in force and energy as objects move relative to each other. Examples of models could include drawings, diagrams, and texts, such as drawings of what happens when two charges of opposite polarity are near each other.
