Lesson 1: Electric Potential Difference

Lesson 1 develops the concept of electric potential difference between two locations and applies the concept to simple circuits. Items in the group's pool include photos of voltmeters, dry cells, 9-volt batteries, diagrams of equipotential lines, diagrams of Galvani's experiments with frog legs, and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 1 of the Current Electricity chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
