In this animated activity, learners examine why various materials are conductors, insulators, or resistors of current. A short quiz completes the learning object.
This is an animated troubleshooting exercise that takes voltage measurements to determine the fault of three different series circuits. There are six review questions that enable the learner to determine the effectiveness of the troubleshooting presentation.
In this animated activity, students read about the two general types of variable resistors: potentiometers and rheostats. They then answer six multiple-choice questions.
In this animated activity, students read about the two general types of variable resistors: potentiometers and rheostats. A brief quiz completes the learning object.
Students examine how to interpret resistor color code bands to determine resistance values and tolerance ranges. This interactive learning object has audio content and includes exercises.
In this interactive object, students complete progressively more difficult exercises as a way to improve their ability to recognize resistor color code values.
In this animated object, learners examine how the way in which a rheostat is connected in series with other resistors causes current and voltage to change as the resistance is varied. A brief quiz completes the activity.
In this interactive activity, students read about the colored stripes on a resistor and interpret the placement of those colors to determine the value of four-band resistors.
In this animated object, learners drag resistors of the proper value into a series circuit to cause a required amount of current to flow. Seven review questions complete the activity.
In this animated and interactive object, learners study how a DC circuit, consisting of a diac, a capacitor, and two resistors, causes a light-emitting diode to turn on and off. A brief quiz completes the activity.
Automotive Electrical Systems: Effects of a Rheostat in a Series Circuit
In this animated object, learners examine how the way in which a rheostat is connected in series with other resistors causes current and voltage to change as the resistance is varied.
