• Determine the variables that affect how charged bodies interact.
• Predict how charged bodies will interact.
• Describe the strength and direction of the electric field around a charged body.
• Use free-body diagrams and vector addition to help explain the interactions.

In this video we’re going to discover how to factorise quadratics that don’t have 1 as the coefficient of the x-squared term. These are called non-monic quadratics. We can do it by trial and error and just spotting the factors, but this takes a lot of trial an error. Luckily there is a different method we can use instead, which we will looks at in this video.

Introduction to magnetism: Wikipedia article that provides an overview of the concept.

The force that acts across the air gaps between magnets is the same force that creates wonders such as the Aurora Borealis. In fact, magnetic effects pervade our lives in myriad ways, from electric motors to medical imaging and computer memory. In this chapter, we introduce magnets and learn how they work and how magnetic fields and electric currents interact.

Outcomes

In this course you will learn how to:

1. Solve quadratic equations by factorisation.
2. Solve quadratic equations by using the quadratic formula.
3. Solve simultaneous equations involving quadratic equations
4. Solve word problems involving quadratic equations.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Solve equations with a single variable which are called linear equations
• Solve equations with a single variable that is squared (quadratic equations) by factorisation.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Solve a quadratic equation by completing the square.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Apply the zero-product law.
• Solve rational quadratic equations which have fractions with the unknown in the denominator.
• Factorise quadratic expressions to solve for the unknown variable.

There are a few different ways to solve quadratics: factorising, using the quadratic formula or by completing the square. In this video we look at solving by factorising.

In this lesson you will learn that:

• Static electricity is a build-up of charge in an object.
• The build-up pf charge is caused by insulating materials rub against each other.
• The motion of these charges causes small shocks, lightening and sparks.
• These charges can be detected. 
• Certain materials can be classified as insulators, and others as conductors.
• Capacitors are small devices in circuits which can store charge.
• Lightning rods are used to allow charges from strikes to travel safely and dissipate in the Earth
