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 teaching and learning aid, the user can alter circuit variables and view how these changes affect circuit voltage, current, reactance, impedance, and phase angle.
By playing a game of tic-tac-toe, a student can review what happens to currents and voltages throughout a series RLC circuit when the applied frequency is increased from 0 Hz towards resonance.
