Learners consider the factors that determine how well an inductive proximity sensor can detect an object. Those factors are size, position, and the material from which the target is made. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Students read an introduction to inductive reactance and view examples.

Learners examine the operation of an inductive proximity sensor in this animated object. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine how a coil of wire provides more resistance to AC current flow than an uncoiled wire. This learning object contains audio.

Learners view video clips showing how coiled wire provides more resistance to AC current flow than uncoiled wire.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of various circuits that are internal to the inductive proximity sensor.

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

In this animated activity, learners study the principle behind an inductor producing a high momentary voltage while its magnetic field collapses. A short quiz concludes the lesson.

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine why the voltage produced by an AC drive must be increased when its frequency is increased due to inductive reactance.

In this learning activity you'll practice using inductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

In this interactive object, students calculate inductive reactance, impedance, current, and power in parallel RL circuits.

Students read an explanation of power factor correction. Examples of both inductive and capacitive loads are given.
