Description

This course is one of several Mousseau Physics courses designed for students in high school physics, AP Physics, and introductory college physics. In this course we focus on current electricity and the basic ideas needed before more complex circuit analysis. Students will study electric current, voltage, resistance, Ohm's law, electrical energy, electric power, and the relationships between the variables used in simple electric circuits.


The videos and resources include clear lectures, demonstrations, diagrams, and worked out example problems. Students will practice using equations, interpreting units, distinguishing voltage from current, and understanding how resistance affects a circuit. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding because electricity vocabulary can be confusing when students first encounter it.


This course is a strong fit for high school physics students, AP Physics students, and introductory algebra based college physics students who want a clear foundation before moving into series circuits, parallel circuits, combination circuits, and Kirchhoff's laws. It does not require calculus. It can also work as a focused review for students who learned circuits before but never felt comfortable with the core variables.


By the end of the course, students should be more comfortable with the language of electric circuits, more confident using Ohm's law and power relationships, and better prepared to solve quantitative electricity problems in later circuit units.


Students can work straight through the course as a full unit or use individual lessons as targeted support alongside a class. The videos are built to be paused, rewound, and practiced with pencil and paper, so the course works well for homework help, test review, exam preparation, or rebuilding a topic that did not fully click the first time.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is designed for Introductory level college physics students as well as any high school physics student.
