Learners examine how the load resistance connected to the secondary coil of a transformer affects the primary current. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Learners examine the changes in current and voltage values in a parallel circuit when open and short conditions develop. Ohm's Law calculations are shown, and a brief quiz completes the activity.
Automotive Electrical Systems: Effects of a Rheostat in a Series-Parallel Circuit.
Learners examine the current and voltage changes in a series-parallel circuit as the resistance value of a rheostat is varied. Illustrations and calculations are included.
Learners review Ohm's Law and then work 12 problems. In each of the problems, students are given two of the three variables (voltage, resistance, or current) and are asked to solve for the third.
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.
Learners study animated rheostat settings that show how varying the current flow affects the amount of power that is dissipated in a series circuit. Nine review questions complete the activity.
Learners review the three formulas for power and work 12 problems. In each of the problems, students are given two of the three variables (voltage, resistance, or current) and asked to solve for power. Immediate feedback is provided.
The student studies the method to calculate complex power where the Vrms of a circuit is multiplied by the complex conjugate of the total circuit current. Several examples are given, along with the power triangle.
Learners examine the sourcing and sinking of conventional current at a PLC output module and the type of field device to which it is connected. This interactive learning object includes six quiz questions.
Learners review Ohm's Law and then work 12 problems to help them apply the law to automotive electrical systems. In each of the problems, students are given two of the three variables (voltage, resistance, or current) and are asked to solve for the third.
Learners examine a general approach to solving for the current through, the voltage across, and the power dissipated by each resistor in a series DC circuit. A three-resistor series circuit is used as an example.
In this animated activity, learners see that changing the resistance value of the load in the secondary of a transformer causes current to vary in the primary.
