Lesson 3 – Potential Difference & Energy Transfers
Lesson Summary
A clear, structured lesson introducing potential difference as the energy transferred per unit of charge. Students learn how to measure potential difference correctly using a voltmeter and calculate energy transfers using the formula V = W ÷ Q. This lesson builds essential understanding for later work on power and circuit behaviour.
Learning ObjectivesYou should be able to:
- explain potential difference as energy transferred per unit of charge
- measure potential difference correctly using a voltmeter
- calculate energy transfers using the formula V = W ÷ Q
- Clear, accessible explanations ideal for mixed‑ability groups
- Strong focus on core GCSE energy concepts
- Includes AI‑enhanced modern imaging to support visual understanding of energy transfer and voltmeter placement
- Ready‑to‑teach structure with consistent progression
- Includes an exit ticket for quick end‑of‑lesson assessment
