Module 3

This document provides an overview of Module 3 which covers charges, voltage, current, and their relationships. The key topics are: - Stating the Law of Charges which describes how like charges repel and unlike charges attract. - Defining voltage in relation to charges as the potential difference created by separating positive and negative charges, which causes electrons to flow and establishes an electric current. - Defining current as the rate of flow of electric charge. - Solving problems involving calculating voltage, current, energy, and power using the relevant equations.
