infoWhy this? Field models explain gravitational, electric, and magnetic interactions without direct contact and reveal similarities and differences between fundamental forces. They allow us to predict orbital and charged-particle motion, explain energy storage in capacitors, and understand electromagnetic induction.

scheduleWhy now? Year 12 mechanics and electricity establish the force, energy, charge, and circuit models required here, while Periodic Motion supports orbital analysis. Following Nuclear Physics also allows us to compare the mathematical behaviour of radioactive decay with capacitor discharge.
