Electricity Electric Potential and Intro Class 10

1. The document discusses electricity and electric potential. It provides an agenda that covers topics like electric charge, potential, current, and resistance over 5 classes. 2. It defines electric potential difference as the amount of work done in moving a unit charge between two points, measured in joules per coulomb (volts). Current is the rate of flow of electric charge measured in amperes. 3. The document provides learning objectives for class 2 on electric potential, which will cover potential energy, potential difference, equipotential surfaces, and the definition of electric current.
