In this animated object, learners examine the formulas used to convert peak, RMS, average, and peak-to-peak AC voltages. A brief quiz completes the activity.
In this interactive and animated object, learners examine the flow of electron current into and out of hot and neutral sockets during each alternation of an AC waveform. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Learners study the factors that determine the frequency of an AC generator, such as the rotational speed of the armature or the number of stator poles.
In this animated learning object, students view the operation of an oscilloscope that is used to measure AC voltages. A brief quiz completes the activity.
In this 3D animated object, learners examine the way in which a three-phase generator produces three sine waves with three armature coils. A quiz completes the activity.
Complex Power: The Sum of the Individual Real and Reactive Powers
The learner views a method to find the total complex power of a circuit in which the individual real and reactive powers are found and then added together. Several examples are shown, along with the power triangles.
In this animated object, learners study the rotation of the magnetic stator field of an AC motor and how it interacts with the armature to cause rotation. A short quiz completes the activity.
