Should you charge your smartphone and use it at the same time? This is the question that started us off in our last sub-topic in HL physics.

Grade12 are studying the last AHL topic on Electromagnetic Induction. This week we were looking at Capacitance and before that we looked at Power generation and transmission. This is the last topic for HL students which will then be followed by the Option: Astrophysics.

Students learned about types of capacitors and the real life application of capacitors. They also looked at how capacitance can be calculated, and how we can arrange capacitors in an electrical circuit.
