Electric Charge and Electric Field
This pathway begins the study of electromagnetic phenomena at a fundamental level. The pathway begins with the study of electric phenomena due to charges that are at least temporarily stationary, called electrostatics, or static electricity. It introduces several very important concepts of charge, electric force, and electric field, as well as defining the relationships between these concepts.
