D Physics

D1 Relating Science to Our Changing World
- D1.1 assess social, environmental, and economic benefits and challenges resulting from the production of electrical energy from various sources
- D1.2 evaluate how electrical energy production and consumption impact various communities locally or globally, and describe ways to achieve sustainable practices
- D1.3 develop a plan of action to address a local or global electrical energy production or consumption issue, including strategies for energy conservation
- D1.4 analyse social, environmental, and economic impacts of emerging technologies related to electrical energy production, consumption, storage, and conservation
D2 Investigating and Understanding Concepts
- D2.1 conduct investigations to explain the behaviour of electric charges in static and current electricity, and to relate the observed behaviour to the properties of subatomic particles and atomic structure
- D2.2 determine the conductivity of various materials by investigating their ability to hold or transfer electric charges
- D2.3 identify the components of a direct current (DC) circuit and explain their functions, and identify electrical quantities, their symbols, and their corresponding International System of Units (SI) units
- D2.4 investigate the relationships between electric current, potential difference, and resistance in electrical circuits, and develop a mathematical model to represent the relationships
  - Ohm's law: voltage, current and resistance (9-U.1)
- D2.5 apply a mathematical model to calculate electric current, potential difference, and resistance in real-world situations
- D2.6 construct series and parallel circuits to compare electric current, potential difference, and resistance in both types of circuits
- D2.7 explain the difference between electricity and electrical energy
- D2.8 determine the efficiency of various electrical devices that consume or produce electrical energy, and identify the energy transformations in each device
