This learning activity uses a water pressure analogy to present the concept that voltage pressure is required to cause current flow.

Learners examine the relationship of individual parts in an assembly drawing. Assembly drawing notes, fabricated and purchased parts, and sectional views are explained briefly.

Students examine the first and second approximations of a voltage source. A "stiff" voltage source is defined, and several examples are given.

This animated lesson shows how pushing a start or stop button on a ladder circuit causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to extend and retract.

Students solve problems on the determination of total inductive reactance of series-parallel inductors.

Students solve problems on the determination of total capacitive reactance of series-parallel capacitors.

By playing a game of tic-tac-toe, a student can review what happens to currents and voltages throughout a series RLC circuit when the applied frequency is increased from 0 Hz towards resonance.

By playing a game of tic-tac-toe, a student can review what happens to currents and voltages throughout a series RLC circuit when the applied frequency is increased above resonance.

By playing a game of tic-tac-toe, a student can review what happens to currents and voltages throughout a parallel LC circuit when the applied frequency increases from 0 Hz toward resonance.
