Magnetics AC Power Generation
By Tim Tewalt, Patrick Hoppe
Learners examine an animation that shows how an AC voltage is produced as an armature rotates within a magnetic field. Ten review questions complete the learning object.
Ohm's Law: Current
Learners study animated rheostat settings that show how current flow is inversely proportional to resistance. Ten review questions complete the learning object.
Ohm's Law: Power
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.
RC Time Constant
In this animated object, learners observe the voltage on a capacitor at various time constants when it either charges or discharges. Students then answer questions in the categories of Identify, Compare, and Compute.
Voltage and Resistors
By Tim Tewalt
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.
Voltage Drops
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.
What Is Current?
Learners study an animation that shows how a battery charge reduces over time and when varying resistance values are placed in a series circuit. Ten review questions complete the activity.
