Learners study how a circuit converts the AC output of a linear voltage differential transformer (LVDT) into variable DC voltage. It is recommended that learners view the learning object IAU7807, “The LVDT: A Linear Voltage Differential Transformer in Action” before going through this object.
Instantaneous Current Calculations of a De-Energizing RL Circuit (Using a TI-30XIIS Calculator)
Students view a sample of the keystrokes of a TI-30XIIS calculator that are required to solve for the instantaneous current of a de-energizing circuit.
Instantaneous Voltage Calculations of a Charging RC Circuit (Calculator TI-35X orTI-36X)
Learners view a sample of the keystrokes from a TI-35X or 36X calculator that are required to solve for the instantaneous voltage of a charging RC circuit.
Statics - Trig: Pythagorean Theorem Calculations Using a Casio fx-260
In this animated and interactive object, the learner uses a Casio fx-260 calculator to solve for the magnitude of the resultant and of one of the component forces in a right triangle.
Instantaneous Voltage Calculations of a Discharging RC Circuit (Using a TI-35X or a TI-36X Calculator)
In this animated object, learners view the keystrokes on a TI-35X/36X calculator that are required to solve for the instantaneous voltage of a discharging RC circuit.
Learners examine the formulas that are used to determine the proper PID values to be entered into a controller using the Ziegler-Nichols Continuous Cycling Tuning Method.
Statics - Trig: Pythagorean Theorem Calculations Using a TI-86
In this animated and interactive object, the learner uses a TI-86 calculator to solve for the magnitude of the resultant and of one of the component forces in a right triangle.
