Course description
Overview
This course is targeted at Singapore Cambridge GCE O level students, but is also relevant to IGCSE students and Singapore's Integrated program students.
When you think of electricity, you might be imagining a current that flows from one point to another. That's direct current. The power in our houses, however, is very different. We use alternating current, which keeps on changing the direction it flows in. It turns out that there's a very good reason for doing so - distributing power to our houses would be much harder using direct current. But what does this have to do with electromagnetic induction? Join us and find out!
Course Content
You will learn:
- Why putting two coils of wire next to each other and running a current through one of them will cause them to jump
- How to generate electricity
- How to tweak alternating voltages to the values you want
- How to detect earthquakes using magnets
- Lots of other cool stuff!
