Resonance 6 – Electricity

Resonance 6 is learning material for the sixth module of high school physics (PHY6, Electricity). The module introduces the most important models describing electrical interaction and the concepts of electrical energy and electrical engineering. Students will learn the basics of designing and studying simple electrical circuits. The module also covers electrical safety and introduces students to applications of electrical engineering. 

Please note that the sample chapter only includes the Test your knowledge exercises related to the book's theory secitons. The other exercises are included in the teacher's exercise kit, which the teacher will make available to students during the course. The book complies with the new Finnish upper secondary school curriculum (LOPS2021).
