# SP5: Electrical and Magnetic Forces

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about electrical and magnetic force interactions.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: High School, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/high-school.md

## Expectations

- **SP5.a**: Develop and use mathematical models and generate diagrams to compare and contrast the electric and gravitational forces between two charged objects.
- **SP5.b**: Plan and carry out investigations to demonstrate and qualitatively explain charge transfer by conduction, friction, and induction.
- **SP5.c**: Construct an explanation based on evidence of the behavior of charges in terms of electric potential energy.
- **SP5.d**: Plan and carry out an investigation of the relationship between voltage, current, and power for direct current circuits.
- **SP5.e**: Plan and carry out investigations to clarify the relationship between electric currents and magnetic fields.
