Learners read an explanation of the RL time constant and examine the formula for calculating the instantaneous current value. The current is graphed as it climbs to maximum or drops to zero. Note* In the formulas in this module, the Greek letter epsilon should be the mathematical constant 'e'.
In this animated object, learners observe the voltage on a capacitor at various time constants when it either charges or discharges. Students then answer questions in the categories of Identify, Compare, and Compute.
In this animated object, students view an explanation of how current, voltage, and the magnetic field strength of a series RL circuit change during five time constants. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Discharging Time Constants of an RC Circuit (Screencast)
In this animated object, learners examine how current, voltage and the discharging capacitor of a series RC changes during 5 time constants. A brief quiz completes the activity.
In this animated learning object, students examine current, voltage, and the magnetic field strength of a series RL circuit while it is de-energizing during five time constants. A quiz completes the activity.
Charging Time Constants of an RC Circuit (Screencast)
In this animated object, students view an explanation of how current, voltage, and the charge on a capacitor of a series RC circuit change during five time constants. A short quiz completes the activity.
Explore what time management is, how to use a time matrix, and how to put it all together and use our new time management skills to accomplish more during your days.
In a series of three interactive exercises, learners explore the relationship between process cycle time and defect detection, and between process cyle time and smaller batch sizes. The techniques of lean/JIT are applied to achieve the continuous improvement (kaizen) goal of reducing inventory by pursuing one-piece flow.
In this learning activity you'll explore what time management is, some general techniques for improving your time management skills, and the Pomodoro Method.
School or work stressing you out? Never feel like there are enough hours in the day? Improve your time management skills and get more time back for you.
In this animated activity, students view the plastic pellets in a profile extrusion machine being melted as the temperature of the heating elements is elevated by a time proportioning control system.
The Time Proportioning Operational Amplifier (Screencast)
In this animated object, learners see how a time proportioning operational amplifier varies an average DC voltage. A brief quiz completes the activity.
The Mathematical Expression of an AC Sine Wave As a Function of Time: Practice Problems
Students view the mathematical expression of a sinusoidal waveform with respect to time (t) and solve five problems. The answers are provided so students may check their work.
